Job Summary
Atomic Machines is ushering in a new era of micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler technology platform. This platform enables new classes of micromachines to be designed and built by providing manufacturing processes and a materials library that are inaccessible to semiconductor manufacturing methods. It unlocks MEMS manufacturing not only for device classes that could never be produced by semiconductor methods but also for entirely new categories. Furthermore this digital platform is fully programmable in the way 3D printing is digitalbut whereas 3D printing produces parts of a single material using a single process the Matter Compiler technology platform is a multi-process multi-material system: bits and raw materials go in and complete functional micromachines come out. The Atomic Machines team has also created an exciting first devicemade possible only through the Matter Compiler technology platformthat we will be unveiling to the world soon.
Our offices are in Emeryville and Santa Clara California.
Why This Role Matters
We are building the hardened execution layer for a new kind of fab. This role owns the core data and API foundations behind that system: append-only material history traceable execution records deterministic planning inputs and reliable interfaces across the platform.
What Youll Do
- Build the core FABOS data and API foundations for the Matter Compiler execution system.
- Design systems for append-only material history traceable execution records derived state and reliable correction paths.
- Model how machines materials operators process definitions calibrations and outcomes are represented in the durable record.
- Build APIs and service boundaries that let operators engineers and autonomous systems reason from trustworthy fab state.
- Migrate existing production systems incrementally using validation backfills dual-writes replay or similar cutover patterns.
- Partner across software robotics process and manufacturing teams to make fab execution reliable traceable and understandable. This may entail actual hardware interaction on the fab.
What Youll Need
- 8 years building production backend platform distributed systems or data-intensive software.
- Experience building software that interacts with real hardware equipment materials inventory or other physical workflows.
- Ownership of a production system of record where correctness traceability and auditability mattered.
- Experience with append-only event-sourced ledger-style inventory custody MES/WMS clinical-record or similarly traceable domain models.
- Strong relational database experience including schema design transactions indexing migrations and production operations.
- Experience migrating important production systems incrementally using validation backfills dual-writes replay or similar cutover patterns.
- Ability to work effectively in both Go and Python.
- Strong API design judgment around typed contracts versioning service boundaries and interface scope.
- User-centered judgment: you understand who depends on the data what decisions it supports and what happens when it is wrong.
- Bachelors degree in Computer Science Electrical Engineering Robotics or a related technical field or comparable practical experience.
Bonus Points For
- Experience reconciling software state against external reality such as physical inventory money movement lab samples warehouse state manufacturing state or clinical records.
- Experience deriving current state from durable history using projections replay audit logs or deterministic verification.
- Experience building systems that support autonomy or automated decision-making in high-reliability environments.
- Experience in manufacturing robotics industrial automation logistics healthcare financial ledgers or regulated traceability domains.
The compensation for this position also includes equity and benefits.
