Job description

Atomic Machines is ushering in a new era of micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler™ technology platform. This platform enables new classes of micromachines to be designed and built by providing manufacturing processes and a materials library that are inaccessible to semiconductor manufacturing methods. It unlocks MEMS manufacturing not only for device classes that could never be produced by semiconductor methods, but also for entirely new categories. Furthermore, this digital platform is fully programmable in the way 3D printing is digital—but whereas 3D printing produces parts of a single material using a single process, the Matter Compiler™ technology platform is a multi-process, multi-material system: bits and raw materials go in, and complete, functional micromachines come out. The Atomic Machines team has also created an exciting first device—made possible only through the Matter Compiler™ technology platform—that we will be unveiling to the world soon.

Our offices are in Emeryville and Santa Clara, California.

About the Role

Atomic Machines is building advanced robotic manufacturing systems that integrate precision motion, sensing, vision, and process control into tightly coordinated production nodes. As Sr. Manager, Robotic Systems Software, you’ll own the architecture and development of the system-level software that orchestrates these nodes in production. Your team will be responsible for workflow sequencing, subsystem coordination, configuration management, and operational robustness. You will report to the Sr. Director of Platform and work with other software leaders and electrical, mechanical and systems engineering teams to bring new manufacturing nodes from hardware integration through stable, repeatable 24/7 operation.

What You’ll Do

Lead the design and implementation of the robotic systems software stack, including deterministic workflow engines and sequencing logic across motion, vision, sensing, and IO subsystems.
Lead node bring-up from hardware integration through production stabilization, ensuring safe, recoverable, and repeatable behavior.
Drive and uphold engineering standards for fault detection, classification, automated recovery, and safe-state transitions.
Implement robust telemetry, structured logging, and time-synchronized diagnostics to enable rapid root-cause analysis.
Remain hands-on in design and code reviews, and occasionally in implementation for critical systems.
Partner cross-functionally with mechanical, electrical, robotics, manufacturing, and infrastructure teams to ensure tight system integration.
Own delivery and technical direction for a set of production nodes or subsystems.
Hire, develop, and lead a high-performing team with strong technical standards and accountability.

What You’ll Need

8+ years of experience building complex automation or robotic systems, including 3+ years leading engineering teams.
Demonstrated expertise designing deterministic orchestration systems or explicit state machines in production environments.
Strong understanding of concurrency, event ordering, idempotency, and failure recovery in hardware-integrated systems.
Experience transitioning robotic or automation platforms from prototype to stable, production-grade operation.
Experience building or leveraging observability systems for complex, hardware-integrated software.
Working knowledge of real-time motion or embedded control systems and how to architect clean separation between real-time and non-real-time layers.
Proven track record hiring, coaching, and scaling strong engineering teams.
Strong systems-level reasoning across hardware and software domains.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or equivalent work experience.

The compensation for this position also includes equity and benefits.
