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
As an Electrical Engineering Intern, you will work alongside senior hardware engineers to help expand our autonomous transport platforms. You will get hands-on experience designing, testing, and integrating real-world hardware solutions for next-generation, on-road autonomous vehicles.
- PCB & Carrier Board Design: Support the design and revision of custom circuit boards and carrier boards for vehicle compute, sensors (camera, radar, lidar), GPS, and actuation systems.
- Vehicle & Protocol Integration: Assist with analyzing and debugging automotive communication protocols (CAN, CAN FD, Ethernet) on real vehicle test platforms.
- Hardware Validation & Testing: Help design, assemble, and execute test procedures and hardware test fixtures to validate board designs and troubleshoot edge cases.
