SMT PCBA Technician

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.

What you’ll do

• Program, set up, and operate SMT/PCBA equipment across the line, including solder paste printers, pick-and-place machines, reflow ovens, AOI, and X-ray.

• Perform line changeovers and support both NPI builds and mass production runs in a high-mix environment.

• Verify correct component placement, orientation, and solder quality throughout production.

• Perform first article inspection and document results.

• Identify, document, and report defects and process deviations — missing components, misalignment, solder defects, and similar issues.

• Collaborate with process and manufacturing engineers, providing feedback on DFM and process improvements.

• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area and follow standard ESD, MSD and handling practices.
