About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Test Engineer to own testing for our compute box, from the first production units through serial production. In this role, you will define the test strategy, build the first test stations and the software that runs them, and own coverage, yield, and test time as the line scales.
Responsibilities
- Define the test strategy for the compute box: what is verified at PCBA, subassembly, box, and vehicle-install level, what each stage must catch, and the pass/fail criteria
- Design, build, and commission the first functional and end-of-line test stations: fixtures, interface hardware, instrumentation, and software
- Cover the interfaces that matter on a compute assembly: power sequencing, boot and provisioning, storage and memory, high-speed links, vehicle networks, thermal and burn-in, and electrical safety
- Define per-unit test data capture tied to serial number, with yield, retest rate, and test time reported by station and by failure mode
- Own first-pass yield: run fallout analysis, drive root cause with electrical, firmware, and manufacturing engineering, and separate product failures from test escapes and false failures
- Drive design-for-test into the compute box before boards release: test points, firmware test modes, diagnostic hooks, and connector access
- Write test work instructions, troubleshooting guides, and a failure-mode library the technician team will use, and train technicians on the stations
- Release and version test programs against hardware and firmware revisions, and keep test current through engineering change
Requirements
- Compute or ECU manufacturing test in automotive, autonomous vehicle, or robotics programs.
- Built a functional or end-of-line test station from scratch: fixture, interface hardware, instrumentation, and software, through commissioning on a production line.
- Hands-on with electronics test equipment: programmable power supplies, electronic loads, oscilloscopes, and data acquisition hardware.
- Experience testing compute or embedded systems: boot, provisioning, storage, memory, and high-speed interfaces.
- Track record of using test data to raise yield and cut test time.
- Ability to read schematics, probe and debug hardware, and describe a failure clearly to a design engineer.
- Ability to work onsite five days a week in San Francisco, with travel to supplier sites.
- Floor work requires PPE, lifting up to 50 lbs, and working at rack level and on vehicles
Skills
- Python for test automation and instrument control
- Comfort debugging from the terminal in a Linux environment
Location
- San Francisco
Work Type
- Onsite
Experience Level
- 6+ years in manufacturing test, production test development, or hardware test engineering on electronic assemblies.

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.
Equal Opportunity
- As a company driven by innovation and continuous change, close collaboration is essential. We’re constantly reimagining our industry, creating new products, and refining our processes, and we do our best work together. That’s why all of our office-based teams work onsite, five days a week.
