Atomic Machines is ushering in a new era in micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler (MC) technology. The MC 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. The MC promises to unlock MEMS manufacturing both for the many device classes that never could be made by semiconductor methods but also to open up entirely new classes. Furthermore, the MC is fully digital in the way 3D printing is digital, but where 3D printing produces parts of a single material using a single process, the MC is a multi-process, multi-material technology: 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 Compiler – that we will be unveiling to the world soon.
Our offices are in Berkeley and Santa Clara, California.
About this role:
We are looking for a talented and seasoned Systems Engineer to join as a key member of the Systems Engineering department, to help us establish strong foundations for successfully attaining the long-term goals of our company. The ideal candidate is well-versed in complex system design, requirements definition, architecture definition, system integration, system verification and validation, and risk management. The ideal candidate is also experienced in robotics, applied physics, controls, mechatronics and computer science. Atomic Machines is on a rapid growth trajectory. We are developing the foundational architecture for our automated manufacturing platform which uses robotics as a key building block.
This role has the opportunity to be a driving force in the development of Systems Engineering practices and adoption at Atomic Machines, and will have a major influence in system definition, development and implementation. This position is available at either our Berkeley or Santa Clara locations.
What You'll Do:
- Define, analyze, and develop essential requirements for the Atomic Machines system.
- Collaborate with cross-functional design teams to conceptualize and refine design concepts, and establish operational models.
- Develop and maintain software system models and simulation tools to create digital prototypes and validate key requirements.
- Design and develop visualization, API's to enable cross-functional teams use models in a variety of applications.
- Run and document key system-of-systems, subsystem.
- Identify and mitigate latent risks across the system early and effectively.
- Engage in problem-solving for complex, multi-subsystem issues in a dynamic startup environment.
What You'll Need:
- Experience: 5+ years working on complex electromechanical systems.
- Culture Fit: Productive participation in scrum meetings, driving clarity and alignment, and influencing cross-disciplinary teams.
- Technical Skills: Proficiency in Python, familiarity with C/C++, and experience with software tools like Git.
- Knowledge: Strong grasp of math and physics, engineering principles, mechanical aptitude, and manufacturing experience.
- Attributes: Creativity, problem-solving skills, ownership of projects, willingness to learn quickly, and ability to work autonomously in ambiguous situations.
- Bonus: Experience with 2D or 3D visualization tools.
- Education: BS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Physics, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
