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.
About The Role:We are seeking a Test Development Engineer with a strong electrical engineering background to join our growing Test team. At Atomic Machines, we are building a novel robotic manufacturing platform—the Matter Compiler™—from the ground up. This enables us to explore entirely new materials and processes, making possible a class of devices that could not be fabricated in a conventional fab environment. From a Test perspective, this means we design tests for devices with specifications exceeding those from currently available solutions, and integrate some of those tests into a fully automated production framework.
Test in the context of hardware/device development inherently requires a multidisciplinary approach. We define a test from initial specifications through the block diagram stage, design and build custom hardware as necessary, and integrate it into a complete system. Test development encompasses mechanical fixturing, circuit board design, firmware development, integration of existing equipment, and analysis of the resulting data.In addition to a strong electrical engineering background, the ideal candidate will bring strong first principles thinking, creativity, and a generalist bent. There are typically multiple approaches to developing any test, and navigating design / fabrication / results tradeoffs is where someone with a first principles approach will shine.
What You’ll Do:
- Develop novel test instrumentation from initial specification through validation
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams in device design, product development, and manufacturing to develop new classes of tests driven by customer and requirements
- Integrate off-the-shelf instrumentation with existing and custom tests.
- Design and build circuit boards for test instrumentation
- Design and build circuit boards to implement test functionalities and deploy them into our Matter Compiler architecture
- Document test instrumentation design and operating procedures.
- Transfer tests from development to production.
- Maintain Test development facilities.
What You’ll Need:
- A strong first-principles approach — able to challenge assumptions, decompose problems to fundamentals, and drive toward true root-cause solutions rather than pattern-matching.
- Demonstrated experience in full board development, spanning initial circuit concepts through fully debugged hardware, including:
- Deep understanding of analog and mixed-signal circuit design.
- Experience implementing analog system control using microcontrollers.
- Familiarity with hardware-level communication protocols.
- Ability to develop microcontroller code in C.
- Strong documentation skills for clear hardware handoff to system-integration teams.
- Proficiency with standard electronic test equipment.
- Experience developing instrumentation, including constructing and managing error budgets.
- Solid hands-on lab skills, including soldering, hardware build/test, and iterative refinement.
- BS in Electrical Engineering or Physics required (8–10 years of relevant experience); PhD in a hard science or engineering discipline strongly preferred (5+ years of relevant experience).
Bonus Points For:
- High current (500A+) or high voltage (1kV+) systems
- Experience with a modern programming language (Python / Java / C# / Go)
- Experience using the STM32 microcontroller platform
- Experience with reliability or environmental test systems
- Developing systems for safe use by line technicians/operators
- Using Altium in a collaborative design environment
The compensation for this position also includes equity and benefits.
