Test Development Engineer

Atomic MachinesBerkeley, California, United StatesOnsite
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:


Atomic Machines builds novel electronic devices, manufactured on our robotic fabrication platform. We are looking for a well rounded engineer to join our Test team.  This person will primarily focus on software development work (firmware / Python) within the context of building and implementing Test infrastructure. This encompasses developing test instrumentation to guide device design as well as inline production testing to ensure product quality.

What You'll Do:


  • Develop novel test instrumentation.
  • Build interfaces to electronics with microcontrollers.
  • Build interfaces to test instrumentation with Python.
  • Integrate off-the-shelf instrumentation with existing and custom tests.
  • Document test instrumentation design and operating procedures.
  • Debug and validate tests.
  • Participate in test definition and architecture.
  • Help transfer tests from development to production.
  • Work closely with colleagues in Devices and Manufacturing to scope/develop new tests.
  • Maintain Test development facilities.

What You'll Need:


  • 3-6 years of relevant experience. 
  • Maker mentality.
  • Hardware bring-up and debugging skills.
  • Ability to develop code for microcontrollers in C or C++.
  • Experience with a modern language (Python / Java / C# / Go).
  • Ability to produce clean, well-documented, and encapsulated code in a team environment.
  • Familiarity with standard electronic test equipment.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (EE), Computer Science (CS), or a related field. A background in Physics is highly desirable.

Bonus Points For:


  • Analog / mixed-signal design experience.
  • Experience with a 10k+ line object-oriented codebase.
  • Experience with SQL or other database; ORM.
  • Experience with precisely timed measurements via microcontroller.
  • Solid lab skills - soldering, physically building/testing HW.

Life at Atomic Machines

Atomic Machines is redefining humanity’s relationship with matter. We see a future where our tools will allow us to reorganize matter at the atomic level at will, where we will go from bits to atoms for any object or machine that can be designed in alignment with physical laws. We have begun our journey with the development of a robotic manufacturing platform capable of making an entirely new class of micro-electromechanical (MEMS) devices. We are well funded and have exceptionally strong product/market fit and a clear go-to-market path for the device we will make first with our platform. Our platform breaks traditional manufacturing paradigms and constraints, enabling inexpensive rapid prototyping as well as large scale manufacturing with highly compelling economics. \n\nJoining forces with us means becoming part of an incredibly talented, inventive and passionate multi-disciplinary team working on a massive world-changing mission. You will have the opportunity to help define the company from its early days. You’ll be challenged to learn and grow as a builder and a leader as the company itself grows rapidly. And you will receive significant equity compensation - you’ll truly be a company owner and benefit financially from our overall success.
