Who we are
Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress.
Over the last decade, software has transformed the digital world. But the physical world, where food is made, minerals are mined, goods are moved, and industries are run, remains far less intelligent, far less efficient, and far more constrained. We’re changing that.
Atoms builds Physical AI— real-world robots for the industries that move civilization forward, starting with food, mining, and transport. Our systems are designed to understand, predict, and control the real world with precision, turning complex physical operations into something more reliable, more scalable, and more productive.
This work requires more than robotics. It requires deep integration across hardware, software, AI, operations, manufacturing, and real estate. We don’t just build machines in a lab. We deploy them into real environments, operate them, learn from them, and improve them until they work at scale.
We are roboticists, engineers, operators, and builders. We believe the next great technology companies will not only transform information, but the physical systems that shape everyday life.
If you want to work on hard problems with real-world impact, join us.
We’re hiring a mid-level Engineering Technician to add hands-on build capacity to the Vehicle Integration team. They’ll work under our Senior and Staff technicians, following the build standard they set. This person will build and retrofit development vehicles, install compute and sensor hardware, make prototype harnesses and do first-pass bring-up and debug. A lot of the work is first-of-its-kind with little or no documented procedure.
So we need someone who can take loose direction, plan the work, ask good questions and write down what they built, without waiting for step-by-step instructions. A good hire is fully hands-on, owns individual builds from start to sign-off within about 3 months, and is growing toward Senior. The role is onsite in SF and includes some test-site support, possibly in Richmond, with occasional after-hours or weekend coverage.
At Atoms, you’ll work on one of the defining challenges of our time—bringing automation into the physical world to drive real, lasting impact. We exist to uncover valuable unknown truths and turn them into progress, which means constantly pushing beyond what’s known and building what doesn’t yet exist. The work is ambitious and often challenging, but it’s grounded in a shared sense of purpose and a team committed to seeing it through together.
Our work only matters if it serves others, and we know that meaningful progress depends on the trust of the people we serve and the strength of our team—so we invest in both, creating an environment where you can do your best work and grow.
This role is based in our San Francisco office. Atoms is a company driven by invention and continuous change - we are constantly reimagining our industries, building new products, and refining how we operate. We do our best work together. That’s why all of our office-based teams work onsite, five days a week.
The base starting rate for this role is
$54.00 - $64.00 per hour.
Actual compensation will be determined on an individual basis and may vary depending on experience, skills, and qualifications.
