Head of Hardware Manufacturing

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

• End-to-end retrofit and box build operations: process, technicians, tooling, throughput, and the release gates that let a vehicle out the door

• Standing up production at two new locations while an existing one continues to run, including layout, material flow, and station design

• The technician organization: hiring pace, training program, certification and sign-off criteria, trainer capacity, and shift structure as the operation moves toward extended and weekend coverage

• Building the leadership layer beneath you

• A quality function that gates production independently of build, with first-pass yield, defect capture, and closed-loop feedback to engineering

• Partnership with Supply Chain so no vehicle enters the line without a complete kit, and with hardware and NPI engineering as new designs transfer into production
