Senior Program Manager, Vehicle Configuration

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 Program Manager to own vehicle configuration and change control: the record of what hardware and software is on every R&D vehicle we operate, and the process governing how it changes. In this role, you will define the configuration data model, the capture path that keeps the record accurate against development assets, and the change processes that enable us to test quickly and effectively. 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

• Configuration System of Record: Own the record of as-designed, as-built, and as-running configuration for every platform, covering hardware revision and serialization, harness and sensor set, compute generation, calibration state, and firmware and software versions. Define the configuration data model, including item and revision structure, effectivity rules, and the platform abstractions that hold across differing vehicle types.
