Automation Engineer at Atomic Industries, Inc. | LAYIQ

3+ years of experience in automation, controls, robotics, mechatronics, test engineering, or a related field
Demonstrated experience taking automation systems from concept through installation, commissioning, and reliable production operation
Strong programming skills with AI assistance, and the ability to build maintainable production software rather than one-off scripts
Experience with industrial communications such as OPC UA, Modbus/TCP, MQTT, or comparable machine protocols
Hands-on experience with sensors, data-acquisition hardware, calibration, analog and digital signals, and electrical troubleshooting
Fluency in at least one PLC or industrial controls ecosystem, with an understanding of machine states, interlocks, fault handling, and deterministic control
Experience integrating robots, motion systems, machine tools, vision systems, or other production equipment
Ability to read electrical drawings and create clear schematics, wiring documentation, interface specifications, and commissioning procedures
Understanding of industrial safety and the boundary between higher-level orchestration software and safety-rated machine control
Excellent communication skills and the ability to work across software engineers, manufacturing engineers, technicians, toolmakers, operators, and external vendors
A bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer engineering, mechatronics, computer science, or a related discipline—or equivalent practical experience
Bonus Points
Experience with injection molding, mold tooling, thermolators, scientific molding, or plastics processing
Familiarity with CNC machines, EDMs, CMMs, automated material handling, or high-mix manufacturing
Experience with digital twins, virtual commissioning, or robotics simulation using OpenUSD, Isaac Sim, ROS, or comparable platforms
PCB design, embedded systems, microcontrollers, edge Linux devices, or custom industrial electronics experience
Experience with time-series data, event-driven systems, industrial observability, or real-time factory monitoring
Background in industrial computer vision, automated inspection, or synthetic-data generation
Experience correlating physical experiments with CFD, FEA, thermal, or other physics-based simulations
Understanding of ITAR, CMMC, or similar regulatory constraints
Injection molding experience is not required. We care more about demonstrated ownership of real hardware systems, strong software judgment, and the ability to learn unfamiliar manufacturing processes deeply.
How We Work
Fast iteration: We deploy code daily and validate it in the factory every week
Factory-first mindset: Engineers spend time on the shop floor to understand the real-world impact of their work
Low ceremony, high ownership: We value well-written design docs, tested code, and real results—not meetings
Collaborative culture: Geometry, AI, robotics, simulation, and manufacturing teams are tightly integrated and co-develop the product together
