Job DescriptionJob DescriptionAtomic Machines is ushering in a new era of micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler™ technology. This full-stack technology enables new classes of micromachines to be designed and built by offering manufacturing processes and a materials library that is inaccessible to semiconductor manufacturing methods. It promises to unlock MEMS manufacturing for the many device classes frustrated by semiconductor methods and to open up entirely new product classes. The Matter Compiler™ technology fully realizes the digital manufacturing dream : bits and raw materials go in, and complete, functional micromachines come out. The Atomic Machines team has also created an exciting first device – one that was only made possible by the existence of the Matter Compiler™ technology – that we will be unveiling to the world soon.Our offices are in Emeryville and Santa Clara, California.About this role :

We are seeking a Staff Robotics Software Engineer to design and implement software that drives advanced automation systems at Atomic Machines. The ideal candidate has strong computer science fundamentals, expertise in Python and C++, and hands-on experience developing software that interfaces tightly with hardware. This role emphasizes manufacturing automation and system integration — building the control frameworks, diagnostic tools, and software that connect actuators, sensors, and embedded systems into reliable, production-grade platforms. As Atomic Machines scales its manufacturing technology, this role offers the opportunity to develop foundational automation software that enables precision, reliability, and throughput at industrial scale. This role is physically based Monday–Friday in our Santa Clara or Emeryville office.

What you'll do :

• Join the Robotics and Controls team within Platform Engineering and work closely with electro-mechanical teams to bring up and integrate new manufacturing processes
• Develop software for automation sequencing, motion coordination, and hardware interfacing across sensors, actuators, and embedded controllers.
• Build integration frameworks that connect mechatronic subsystems into cohesive, production-ready manufacturing platforms.
• Create calibration, diagnostic, and bring-up tools to accelerate deployment of new hardware and simplify troubleshooting for engineers and technicians.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing engineers to translate production requirements into robust automation capabilities.
• Contribute to simulation and digital twin environments to validate software-hardware integration and accelerate deployment cycles.
• Support development of the Matter Compiler's mechatronic subsystems, ensuring reliability and repeatability in manufacturing operations.
• Establish best practices in software development for automation : modularity, testability, and maintainability.

What you'll need :

The compensation for this position also includes equity and benefits.
