About the Role
Atoms is building Physical AI—real-world robots for industries like 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, scalable, and productive. This role requires deep integration across hardware, software, AI, operations, manufacturing, and real estate, deploying and operating robots in real environments.
Responsibilities
- Manage and automate GPU training clusters, including provisioning, bootstrapping, and lifecycle management.
- Automate bare-metal bring-up for quick and reliable machine onboarding.
- Build software abstractions for unified training and simulation workloads.
- Work at the hardware/software boundary, focusing on speed, reliability, automation, and uptime.
- Run day-to-day operations, diagnosing and resolving system issues under pressure.
- Design infrastructure for smooth scaling as the machine fleet grows.
Requirements
- 6+ years experience operating GPU compute on Kubernetes or similar orchestration.
- Strong programming and scripting skills in Python, Go, or similar.
- Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation.
