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.\nAtoms 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.\nThis 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.\nWe 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.\nIf you want to work on hard problems with real-world impact, join us.\nWhat you’ll do\nServe as Atoms' subject-matter expert on technical accounting, providing proactive guidance on complex transactions, acquisitions, new business initiatives, commercial arrangements, and other non-routine activities\nLead the research, evaluation, and documentation of accounting conclusions under U.S. GAAP, including the preparation of clear, concise, and defensible technical accounting memoranda\nPartner with Controllership, Legal, Corporate Development, Strategic Finance, Tax, Treasury, business leaders, and external auditors to assess the accounting implications of strategic and operational decisions\nMonitor emerging accounting guidance, evaluate its impact on the company, and lead the implementation of new accounting standards and company-wide accounting policies\nTranslate complex accounting matters into practical recommendations for senior leadership, while helping strengthen technical accounting capabilities across the broader organization\nWhat we're looking for\nCPA required\n12+ years of experience\nBig 4 experience, with national office experience\nIn-house experience is a plus, but not required\nDeep knowledge of U.S. GAAP and the ability to independently research, evaluate, and resolve complex or judgmental accounting matters\nAbility to understand the economics of acquisitions, investments, financings, commercial arrangements, and new business initiatives, and to determine the appropriate accounting treatment\nStrong technical writing skills, with the ability to prepare clear, concise, and defensible accounting memoranda and explain complex conclusions to executives, operators, Legal, and external auditors\nComfort partnering proactively with Controllership, Finance, Tax, Legal, Corporate Development, and business teams, while maintaining strong technical standards and independence\nTrack record monitoring emerging guidance, establishing company-wide accounting policies, and ensuring consistent implementation across businesses and geographies\nWhy join us \nAt Atoms, you’ll work on one of the defining challenges of our time-bringing automation into the physical world to drive real, lasting impact. We exist to uncover valuable unknown truths and turn them into progress, which means constantly pushing beyond what’s known and building what doesn’t yet exist. The work is ambitious and often challenging, but it’s grounded in a shared sense of purpose and a team committed to seeing it through together.
