Senior Systems Engineer, Diagnostics and System Behavior Analysis

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 diagnostics and failure analysis across our development fleet. In this role, you will take a failure from a log to an assigned root cause, owning the triage classification, the severity model, and the diagnostic tooling that determines how quickly we know what failed. You will build the diagnostic coverage and automated classification that turns failure analysis from an engineering activity into a process that runs such that only new failures reach a person. The role spans multiple vehicle platforms with different hardware, compute, and software, and requires regular time in the garage and around vehicles.

What you’ll do

• Triage. Classify failures as software, firmware, hardware, data path, or system-level regressions, and route them with evidence.
