Senior Systems Engineer, Platform Requirements and Interfaces

About this role

Who we are

Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress.

Over the last decade, software has transformed the digital world. 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.

Atoms 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.

This 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.

We 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.

If you want to work on hard problems with real-world impact, join us.

About the role

We are seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to own the system requirements and interface control documents for our autonomous vehicle and truck platforms. In this role, you will take a platform from platform-level requirements, to decomposed and allocated subsystem requirements, to a verification plan with results confirmed against each requirement, working out how the autonomy kit's sensing, compute, networks, and power meet the vehicle or machine it is installed on. You will do this across OEM vehicle platforms and off-highway trucks, and you'll build the requirements and interface documentation that each new platform variant is specified and verified against.

What you’ll do

• System requirements. Write and maintain system and subsystem requirements for the vehicle and truck platforms you own, including decomposition from platform-level requirements, allocation to sensing, compute, vehicle networks, power, actuation, and autonomy software, and traceability to verification.
