Leads enterprise network and cybersecurity architecture across corporate and manufacturing environments. Manages network and security engineers, vendors, infrastructure operations, cloud networking, segmentation, firewalls, monitoring, incident response, vulnerability remediation, compliance controls, and technology roadmaps. Designs resilient AWS and hybrid connectivity, oversees routing, switching, wireless, OT/IT security, and presents risk and strategy to stakeholders.
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—but 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.

- Optimize cloud networking costs and performance through right-sizing and architectural reviews.
- Network Security
- Lead design and enforcement of network security policies, including firewall rule management, ZTNA, NAC, and micro-segmentation.
- Manage firewalls, IDS/IPS, proxies, and related security appliances through their full lifecycle.
- Oversee vulnerability assessments and penetration test scoping; ensure timely remediation and report risk to stakeholders.
- Support compliance activities (NIST, SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.) through controls documentation, audit evidence, and remediation execution.
- Operations & Incident Management
- Lead day-to-day network operations, ensuring high availability and performance across enterprise and manufacturing segments.
- Serve as the senior escalation point for network and security incidents, both internal and vendor-related.
- Oversee network monitoring platforms (e.g. Grafana, Datadog, LogicMonitor, etc.); define alerting thresholds, dashboards, and response runbooks.
- Drive root cause analysis (RCA) investigations and publish findings and corrective action plans for senior leadership.
- Manage ticketing workflows, ensuring SLA adherence for network-related work orders.
- Stakeholder Collaboration & Governance
- Act as the primary network engineering liaison to IT leadership, OT engineering, manufacturing operations, and engineering teams.
- Participate in capacity planning, capital budgeting, and vendor contract negotiations.
- Present network strategy, risk posture, and project updates to IT leadership and business stakeholders.
What You’ll Need:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Network Engineering, or related field. Equivalent experience considered.
- 10+ years of progressive network engineering experience, with at least 3 years in a people management or technical lead role.
- Demonstrated experience architecting enterprise-grade network solutions in a manufacturing, industrial, or highly regulated environment.
- 5+ years of hands-on experience with AWS networking services (VPC, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, Route 53, WAF, Security Groups).
- Proven experience in network security device management including NGFWs (Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cisco), IDS/IPS, NAC, CASB/SASE, and Web Filtering platforms.
- Strong background in routing and switching protocols: BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, MSTP, VLANs, and QoS.
- Experience with wireless network design and management (Cisco Meraki, Aruba, or equivalent) across large, distributed campuses.
- Certification(s) in CCNP Enterprise or CCIE, AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty, CISSP or CISM, Palo Alto PCNSE, AWS Solutions Architect – Professional, ITIL v4 Foundation, etc.
Technical Skills:
- Network platforms Cisco (IOS-XE/XR/NX-OS), Palo Alto, Juniper, Meraki, Fortinet
- Cloud Networking: AWS VPC, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, VPN, WAF, Security Groups, NACLs
- Security Tools: Firewalls, IDS/IPS, SIEM (Rapid7/Splunk/Palo Alto), NAC (Cisco ISE/Aruba ClearPass), Vulnerability Scanners
- Protocols: BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, STP/MSTP, VXLAN, DMVPN, MPLS, 802.1x, QoS
- Wireless:Enterprise Wi-Fi 6/6E, WPA3, WLAN controllers, RF design and site surveys
The compensation for this position also includes equity and benefits.
