Software Applications Engineer, Robotics Systems

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—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.

About The Role

As a Software Applications Engineer, Robotic Systems 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.
