The Matter Compiler™ is aimed at micro-machines: motors and gears the size of a grain of sand, robots small enough to work inside the body, cooling built directly into the chips that run AI, and the many devices like them that have been waiting on a way to build them. Its first product is PrimeSwitch™, an electromechanical power relay the size of a button battery that carries 150 amps continuous current and opens in 50 microseconds, about a thousand times faster than a conventional contactor. Founded by Jeff Holden - serial entrepreneur, ex-Amazon SVP and Uber’s first Chief Product Officer - the company has raised $250 million to date.\nAtomic Machines is based in the San Francisco Bay Area, with offices in Emeryville and Santa Clara.\nAbout The Role:\nAtomic Machines is seeking a Senior Business Development Manager - Power Distribution OEMs to drive adoption of our next-generation switching technology across the power distribution, protection, and data-center infrastructure ecosystem.\nThe position includes developing strategic relationships and business opportunities with leading OEMs and ecosystem partners across power distribution, circuit protection, switchgear, and data-center power infrastructure.\nIn this technical business development role, you’ll identify high-value customer applications, articulate the technical and commercial value of Atomic Machines’ technology, and advance strategic OEM programs from initial discovery through evaluation, design-in, qualification, and production.\nYou’ll independently lead early technical discussions with customer engineering teams, create momentum across complex development cycles, and engage Applications Engineering when deeper technical expertise is needed. Success means building strategically important OEM programs, advancing them toward production, and establishing Atomic Machines as a trusted technical partner.\nThis role requires approximately 30-50% travel for customer meetings, partner engagement, and industry events.\nWhat You’ll Do:\nCustomer and Account Development: Develop and execute account strategies for leading power distribution, circuit protection, and infrastructure OEMs. Build durable relationships across engineering, advanced development, product management, business leadership, and other key stakeholder groups.\nOpportunity Creation: Proactively identify customer problems, applications, and emerging requirements where Atomic Machines’ technology can provide differentiated value. Create new opportunities rather than relying on an established pipeline or mature book of business.\nTechnical Discovery and Positioning: Lead initial technical discovery discussions with customer engineering and product teams. Understand customer power architectures, system requirements, product roadmaps, and development timelines, and clearly articulate the technical and commercial value of Atomic Machines’ technology.\nDesign-In Leadership: Own opportunities across the full OEM development lifecycle, from customer problem and application definition through evaluation, design-in, qualification, program nomination, and production. Establish customer evaluations and joint-development activities, define milestones and success criteria, and maintain momentum across complex development cycles.\nCommercial Ownership: Lead early commercial discussions and contribute to pricing, partnership, and go-to-market strategy. Evaluate opportunities based on technical fit, customer commitment, strategic value, and commercial potential to guide investment of internal resources.\nCross-Functional Partnership: Partner with Field Applications Engineering when deeper technical support is needed, providing clear context, objectives, and expected outcomes. Work closely with Product and Engineering to translate customer requirements and market insights into product and commercial decisions.\nPipeline and Program Management: Maintain a disciplined portfolio of strategic customer programs, including key stakeholders, applications, technical requirements, opportunity stage, milestones, commercial potential, risks, and next actions.\nMarket and Ecosystem Development: Build relationships across the broader power distribution, circuit protection, power semiconductor, and AI data-center infrastructure ecosystems. Identify emerging architectures, applications, competitors, and industry requirements that may influence Atomic Machines’ roadmap.\n Industry Engagement: Represent Atomic Machines in the Open Compute Project and other relevant technical communities, working groups, conferences, and industry events. Develop credibility and relationships with both technical and executive audiences.\nWhat You’ll Need:\nApproximately 5-8+ years of business development experience in power electronics, electrical distribution, circuit protection, switchgear, power semiconductors, relays/contactors, UPS/PDU systems, or closely related technologies.\nDemonstrated experience selling or developing technically complex components or enabling technologies into OEMs.\nExperience working directly with customer engineering and product organizations.\nStrong technical fluency in electrical and power-electronics systems.\nAbility to independently carry meaningful technical discussions with customer engineering teams.\nExperience creating and developing new design-in opportunities.\nUnderstanding of long OEM development cycles including evaluation, qualification, design-in and production nomination.\nStrong commercial judgment and relationship-development skills.\nAbility to operate with significant autonomy in an early-stage environment.\nBachelor’s degree required.\nBonus Points For:\nExperience with circuit protection, power distribution, solid-state or hybrid switching, relays/contactors, breakers, or adjacent technologies, including AC and high-voltage DC distribution.\nExperience supporting data-center or other high-power infrastructure applications; familiarity with next-generation AI data-center power architectures.\nExposure to hybrid protection architectures combining mechanical and semiconductor technologies.\nTrack record of converting early technical engagement into production design wins.\nAn established network across the power semiconductor and power infrastructure ecosystem, and/or active participation in the Open Compute Project (OCP) or similar technical industry organizations.\nBachelor’s degree in Engineering.\n Atomic Machines is an equal opportunity employer that values diversity and does not discriminate based on characteristics protected by applicable law.
