About the Role

Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress by creating Physical AI—real-world robots for industries like food, mining, and transport. This role supports the supply chain team in scaling operations from early builds to large-scale fleet deployment, focusing on the traceability of hardware from supplier to vehicle.

Responsibilities

• Process purchase orders end-to-end, from requisition through PO issuance, confirmation, and closeout.
• Manage vendor communication with suppliers of sensors, compute, LiDAR, and other AV hardware/electronics.
• Track orders proactively, monitoring lead times, flagging delays, and escalating risks.
• Coordinate invoicing with finance and suppliers, resolving discrepancies.
• Maintain accurate, audit-ready procurement records across systems.
• Build and refine PO workflows, templates, and tracking processes.
• Support supplier onboarding and help establish vendor management practices.
• Partner closely with engineering, hardware, and finance teams to understand component needs and timelines.
• Help select, configure, or improve procurement systems/tools.

Requirements

• 2-5 years of hands-on experience as a Buyer or Senior Buyer, ideally in hardware, electronics, automotive, robotics, or another technical/AV-adjacent industry.
• Strong working knowledge of procurement systems (e.g., ERP/P2P platforms such as SAP, NetSuite, Coupa, Oracle, or similar).
• Proven skill in PO processing at volume and with accuracy.
• Excellent order tracking discipline.
• Sharp attention to detail, especially across POs, invoices, and shipment documentation.
• Clear, confident vendor communication skills, written and verbal.
• Comfort working in a startup environment with evolving processes and shifting priorities.
• A self-starter mindset — willing to build process, not just follow it.

About the Company

• 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.
• At Atoms, you’ll work on one of the defining challenges of our time—bringing automation into the physical world to drive real, lasting impact.
• We exist to uncover valuable unknown truths and turn them into progress, which means constantly pushing beyond what’s known and building what doesn’t yet exist.
• The work is ambitious and often challenging, but it’s grounded in a shared sense of purpose and a team committed to seeing it through together.
• Our work only matters if it serves others, and we know that meaningful progress depends on the trust of the people we serve and the strength of our team—so we invest in both, creating an environment where you can do your best work and grow.
