About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on Software Technician to play a critical role in getting hardware-software systems out the door. You'll be on the front lines of quality: testing, debugging, and validating both the hardware and software that power our products. This role is a great fit for someone who's comfortable at the intersection of hardware and software and has spent time figuring out if the baud rate was wrong or if the wiring was flipped. We are looking for contributors who take pride in catching problems before they reach customers and are excited about building scalable systems.

Responsibilities

Perform QC and bench tests on custom electronics
Load software and firmware onto custom built devices
Execute test suites across hardware and software systems; log results and flag anomalies
Collaborate with Software engineers on process improvements and documentation to enable rapid scaling
Debug failures across the full stack, from hardware faults to software misconfigurations, and work with engineering teams to drive resolution
Maintain clear records of test outcomes, failure modes, and corrective actions

Requirements

Mechatronics, Robotics or similar degree or equivalent work experience hardware/software/electrical experience
2-5 years of hands-on experience in a hardware testing, manufacturing, or systems integration environment
Experience with Linux systems: comfortable with SSH, navigating filesystems, running scripts, and interpreting logs
Experience with tailscale and cloud services (such as Balena or AWS)
Ability to read basic electrical schematics and understand hardware assemblies
Python or Bash scripting experience is a strong plus
Experience flashing firmware or loading OS images onto embedded targets
Strong attention to detail and methodical approach to troubleshooting

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.
