Senior Engineering Technician, Vehicle Integration

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 hiring a Senior Engineering Technician to own the build, retrofit, and readiness of our development vehicles. This is not a standard vehicle technician role; you will take a vehicle from bare platform through installation, functional check, and sign-off, often before a documented procedure exists. You must be capable of working independently to debug complex, cross-disciplinary failures across mechanical, electrical, and firmware layers when documentation is sparse. You will work closely with our engineering teams, translating frontline issues into actionable feedback. This is a full-time, in-person opportunity in our SF HQ for builders who thrive in unstructured, fast-paced environments.

What you’ll do

• Take vehicle builds from bare platforms through installation, functional check, and sign-off Integrate custom compute units and complex sensor stacks.
