Full Job Description
About Atomic Machines Atomic Machines is ushering in a new era of micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler™ technology. This full-stack technology enables new classes of micromachines to be designed and built by offering manufacturing processes and a materials library that is inaccessible to semiconductor manufacturing methods. It promises to unlock MEMS manufacturing for the many device classes frustrated by semiconductor methods and to open up entirely new product classes. The Matter Compiler™ technology fully realizes the digital manufacturing dream: bits and raw materials go in, and complete, functional micromachines come out. The Atomic Machines team has also created an exciting first device – one that was only made possible by the existence of the Matter CompilerTM technology – that we will be unveiling to the world soon. Our offices are in Emeryville and Santa Clara, California. About The Role: Atomic Machines is seeking an Electrical Engineer, Test to help build and scale the systems used to validate entirely new classes of devices. At Atomic Machines, we are developing a novel robotic manufacturing platform—the Matter Compiler™—that enables new materials and fabrication processes not possible in conventional manufacturing environments. This role sits at the intersection of electrical engineering, software, instrumentation, and experimental development. You will work closely with senior engineers to design, build, automate, and debug custom test systems used for device characterization, reliability testing, and manufacturing validation. Many of the systems we develop do not have established playbooks or known outcomes. Success in this role requires strong engineering fundamentals, curiosity, persistence, and a willingness to work through ambiguous technical problems across hardware and software boundaries. You will contribute to the full lifecycle of test development, including instrumentation integration, PCB bring-up, firmware validation, automation sof
