Careers at Atoms

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.

If you want to work on hard problems with real-world impact, join us. What you’ll do We are seeking a foundational Developer Experience Engineer to build scalable developer infrastructure powering our autonomous transport initiative. In this role, you will be the first dedicated engineer optimizing developer workflows across our large-scale C++, Python, Go, Rust and embedded firmware codebases. You will eliminate build friction, prevent dependency hell, and architect secure Over-The-Air (OTA) update mechanisms to safely deploy software to our edge vehicle fleet. By empowering our robotics, ML, and software teams with high-speed, reliable tooling, you will directly accelerate the delivery of safe, on-road autonomous transportation. While you may not work on every single aspect of it, the team will own the following scope: CI/CD Infrastructure: Own the build pipelines for Transport's repos: large, multi-language (C++, Python, firmware). Make them fast enough that engineers stop context-switching while they wait. Build System Optimization: Cut build times and make builds reproducible. Bazel or similar; you'll own the build graph, caching, and dependency management. Firmware & Embedded Integration: Automate building and testing embedded firmware and the vehicle OS (e.g., Balena). Over-The-Air (OTA) Deployment: Design and build over-the-air updates for vehicles in the field: staged rollouts, redundancy, and rollback that always works. Repository Architecture: Decide how code is organized (monorepo vs. multi-repo), how artifacts are versioned and stored, and how dependencies are tracked, in a way that still holds up when the team is many times bigger. Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Automation: Wire HIL rigs and simulation into release validation so regressions are caught before code ever reaches a vehicle. Developer Observability & Tooling: Track build health, test flakiness, and time-to-deploy. Instill a data-informed culture, so the numbers are visible and the problems actually get fixed. What we’re looking for 8+ years of professional experience in Developer Experience, Build Engineering, or Infrastructure, specifically supporting large-scale engineering organizations. Strong programming proficiency in Python, C++, Go, or similar, with deep knowledge of modern build systems and package managers (e.g., Bazel, CMake, UV). Hands-on experience scaling CI/CD systems, monorepo architectures, and automated testing pipelines for complex codebases. Familiarity with embedded systems, firmware builds, or containerized IoT operating systems (such as Balena Linux or Yocto). Foundational understanding of designing secure, fail-safe Over-The-Air (OTA) deployment pipelines for edge hardware or robotics. Proven ability to reduce build/test cycle times, eliminate flaky tests, and untangle complex dependency graphs. Exceptional communication skills and a passion for acting as an empathetic force multiplier for cross-functional software, hardware, and robotics teams.

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. About the role We are seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to own diagnostics and failure analysis across our development fleet. In this role, you will take a failure from a log to an assigned root cause, owning the triage classification, the severity model, and the diagnostic tooling that determines how quickly we know what failed. You will build the diagnostic coverage and automated classification that turns failure analysis from an engineering activity into a process that runs such that only new failures reach a person. The role spans multiple vehicle platforms with different hardware, compute, and software, and requires regular time in the garage and around vehicles. What you’ll do Triage. Classify failures as software, firmware, hardware, data path, or system-level regressions, and route them with evidence. Root cause analysis. Investigate novel failures using logs, telemetry, bus traces, and video, and establish the root cause. Diagnostic tooling. Build the parsing, correlation, and visualization that make large log datasets tractable for engineers outside this role. Automated classification. Build the frameworks that detect known failure signatures automatically, so recurrence is caught by software. Data path integrity. Own monitoring for the logging path itself: dropped frames, timestamp drift, bandwidth and storage limits, and the alerting that catches a vehicle producing unusable data the same day. Severity and trend analysis. Categorize severity consistently and identify the failure clusters that should set engineering priority. Documentation. Set the standard for what a complete root cause analysis looks like here, and author the troubleshooting guides. What we’re looking for Bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field required. 6+ years in systems integration, diagnostics, or hardware and software interface engineering on vehicles. L4 program or production ADAS experience. A track record of diagnosing failures that spanned hardware and software, with specific examples where you established the root cause. Ability to correlate hardware symptoms and video evidence with telemetry and bus data into a concrete timeline. Sensor-level troubleshooting depth on cameras, lidar, radar, GNSS and IMU, including timing failure modes. Strong working knowledge of vehicle networks and diagnostics, including CAN, CAN FD, Automotive Ethernet, and DTCs, and how failures present at each layer. Python and command line log analysis at the level of building production tools Automated triage or anomaly detection built over fleet data. Experience with monitoring and observability platforms and with log management at fleet scale. Working experience with cloud storage and databases for telemetry: object storage, SQL, and time series or NoSQL stores. Experience with a data collection or logging fleet, particularly diagnosing data path problems at volume. Ability to work onsite five days a week in San Francisco, with periodic travel to test sites.
