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. Job Description About The Role: As a Software Engineer on the Applications team you will design and build the distributed software system that controls the Matter Compiler. You’ll have the chance to work across layers of the stack abstracting low-level device interfaces into high-level user-facing APIs. One sprint, you might be defining machine behavior with a mechanical designer; the next, coordinating manufacturing robot behavior. You’ll be joining a fast-paced, interdisciplinary environment with close collaboration across teams — including modeling and simulation, materials science, process development, and mechanical engineering — as we bring truly novel technology to life. This role is based in either our Santa Clara or our Emeryville office and is well-suited to an engineer with strong fundamentals, curiosity, and the fire to grow into systems-level thinking. What You'll Do Write, operate, and debug software and firmware for complex robotics with hard real-time constraints. The code you write is what drives all manufacturing operations at Atomic Machines – and must be reliable, fault tolerant, and well instrumented. You will be working hands-on with manufacturing robotics, designing software to coordinate a distributed network of devices. Work at multiple levels of the software stack. You’ll design and implement a networked API and debug it down to the hardware. What You'll Need 2+ years of experience (industry, internships, robotics competitions, IEEE, extracurricular projects, open source contributions etc) Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics or a related field. Multi-language programming language fluency. Ability to code fluently in multiple languages, at multiple levels of the stack. Our robotics engineers primarily use C++ and Python. Knowledge of Go is a bonus. A depth and breadth understanding of how computers work. Our work involves a variety of processors and computing environments at multiple levels of the stack. Experience designing, building, and shipping complex software systems that control hardware, as part of a team. Experience with version control and working on Linux machines Bonus Points For Embedded programming for ARM architectures and real-time operating systems (RTOS) Experience or interest in heterogeneous computing architectures (AMD ZYNQ) A passion for building user-centric APIs with industry-standard tools (gRPC, Postgres, Protobuf) Experience abstracting the control of manufacturing machines, material transport systems, and factory-level orchestration. Experience with instrumenting software for observability and debugging. Infrastructure-as-Code, and DevOps workflows. Familiarity with the fundamentals of robotic systems, such as feedback control systems, motion planning, and computer vision. The compensation for this position also includes equity and benefits.
