Senior Hardware Reliability & Test Engineer

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

Atoms is seeking a Senior Hardware Reliability & Environmental Test Engineer to set the hardware qualification standard and own reliability and environmental testing across our platforms. The role covers the qualification standard itself, reliability requirements and budgets, the design verification plan, environmental and accelerated life testing, and analysis that turns test and field data into design and test changes.

What you’ll do

• Define hardware qualification standards, including environmental requirements, test methods, and acceptance criteria.

• Define reliability and availability requirements for hardware systems and subsystems.

• Own the design verification plan and report, covering thermal cycling, shock, humidity, vibration, dust and water ingress, corrosion, altitude and fluid resistance.
