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 hiring Electrical Integration Engineers (Electromechanical Focus) to design, build, document, and troubleshoot the electrical systems used in our custom manufacturing equipment. \nYou will own the electrical integration of electromechanical modules and subsystems, from selecting and interfacing sensors, actuators, and third-party electronics through first-article build, bring-up, validation, and documentation. Interconnect design is an important part of the work, alongside prototype implementation, fixture development, physical integration and packaging, and troubleshooting across electronics, wiring, firmware, and mechanisms. You will work closely with electrical, mechanical, embedded systems, and manufacturing engineers to turn early prototypes into reliable, repeatable, and serviceable designs.\nWhat You’ll Do:\nSelect and integrate sensors, actuators, third-party electronics, power components, cables, connectors, and communication interfaces.\nDesign and build prototype interconnects, fixtures, and subsystem test setups.\nCollaborate with mechanical engineers on packaging, routing, retention, access, serviceability, and assembly strategy.\nTroubleshoot issues spanning electronics, wiring, firmware, configuration, and mechanical behavior.\nCreate and maintain ICDs, interconnect and cable drawings, work instructions, and bring-up procedures.\nWhat You’ll Need:\n5+ years of relevant engineering experience, or equivalent substantial hands-on experience.\nExperience building, bringing up, or troubleshooting electromechanical hardware.\nExperience with crimping cables \nAbility to read schematics, block diagrams, pinouts, interface documents, and component datasheets.\nExperience integrating and bringing up sensors, actuators, electronics, and wiring within an electromechanical module or machine.\nExperience troubleshooting issues across electronics, wiring, sensors, actuators, and firmware using schematics, datasheets, and common lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzer, multimeters, etc)\nExperience creating and maintaining electrical integration documentation, including ICDs, interconnect diagrams, cable drawings, pin tables, and work instructions.\nHands-on experience building, modifying, and testing prototype wiring, cable assemblies, fixtures, or electromechanical hardware.\nStrong documentation and cross-functional communication skills.\nA bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field (associate's, bachelor's, or trade/technical program), or equivalent hands-on experience.\nBonus Points For:\nExperience with robotics, automation equipment, scientific instruments, or other complex electromechanical systems.\nFamiliarity with motor control, grounding, shielding, EMI, or ESD.\nExperience working with cable vendors, electronics vendors, or contract manufacturers.\nThe compensation for this position also includes equity and benefits.\nSalary Range\n$165,000—$205,000 USD\n Atomic Machines is an equal opportunity employer that values diversity and does not discriminate based on characteristics protected by applicable law.
