About the Role
Atoms is seeking a Robotics Lead to provide technical leadership for autonomous vehicle behavior systems. This role involves defining the architecture and technical direction of the robotics stack, integrating various AI and vehicle systems, and driving complex problems from architecture through real-world deployment.
Responsibilities
- Define and drive the technical direction of the robotics and autonomy stack.
- Lead architecture and integration across perception, localization, prediction, planning, controls, and vehicle systems.
- Develop and improve algorithms for motion planning, trajectory generation, decision-making, and vehicle control.
- Own complex system-level problems that span multiple components of the autonomy stack.
- Diagnose real-world autonomy failures and drive improvements across algorithms, software, sensors, and vehicle systems.
- Establish evaluation and validation methodologies that connect component-level performance to vehicle behavior.
- Partner with AI Research and Perception teams to integrate learned models into the broader autonomy system.
- Work closely with software, hardware, firmware, simulation, and vehicle engineering teams to bring autonomous capabilities into production.
- Provide technical mentorship and raise the engineering bar across the robotics organization.
Requirements
- Significant experience developing robotics, autonomous vehicles, or other complex autonomous systems.
- Deep technical expertise in one or more of: Motion planning and trajectory generation, Prediction and decision-making, Localization and state estimation, Controls, Robotics systems architecture, Autonomous vehicle systems.
- Strong understanding of how perception, planning, localization, controls, and vehicle systems interact within a production autonomy stack.
- Strong programming skills in C++ and/or Python.
- Experience designing and debugging complex real-time robotic systems.
- Demonstrated ability to lead major technical initiatives and make architecture-level decisions.
- Experience taking robotics or autonomy capabilities from development through real-world deployment.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work across highly specialized engineering teams.

About the Company
- 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, more scalable, and more productive.
- This work requires deep integration across hardware, software, AI, operations, manufacturing, and real estate.
- We deploy robots into real environments, operate them, learn from them, and improve them until they work at scale.
- We believe the next great technology companies will not only transform information, but the physical systems that shape everyday life.
