Senior Industrial Automation Engineer

Atomic Machines Inc.
Berkeley, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 5/16/2024

Atomic Machines is on Earth to radically advance humanity’s command over matter.  Our mission is real-time bits-to-atoms manufacturing of anything at any scale, and to that end, we’re developing an entirely new digital micro-device manufacturing platform that is going to redefine how things are made, and do so while simultaneously enabling the rapid creation at any scale of new classes of machines – think medical micro-robotics, true lab-on-chip microfluidics, tunable antennas, ultrafast high-power and high-frequency RF switching devices and many more.  The first device we are building with our platform has exceptional large-scale product/market fit and commercial traction, and we are pushing hard to share it with the world.


Our offices are in Berkeley and Santa Clara, California.


About the role:

We are seeking an experienced Manufacturing Engineer to join our growing team. This role will contribute to the foundational design of our novel robotic manufacturing platform by developing significant subsystems responsible for the conversion of as-delivered materials to a format compatible with the custom manufacturing platform we are developing. You will gain multidisciplinary experience across manufacturing engineering, mechanical design, electrical engineering, vision, robotics, and while working as a part of a fast-paced cross-functional team in an early startup.

\n


What you’ll do:
  • Design, test, install, and maintain high-throughput robotic manufacturing systems for a next-gen robotic manufacturing facility.
  • Develop and maintain high-level system models for throughput, cost, and performance.
  • Drive engagements with external engineering contractors. Derive and accurately convey requirements, evaluate designs, and manage the technical relationships.
  • Architect equipment and infrastructure designs for our manufacturing facility and manage design/build/test loop with both internal and external resources.
  • Subject designs and prototypes to rigorous testing that verifies performance with appropriate statistical analysis for production-caliber, 24/7 lights-out systems.
  • Own high-level performance of all systems overseen, along with associated managerial work (presentations to Executive staff, interaction with Program Management for timely completion of work, management of and reporting upon internal and external resources).
  • Create CAD models of parts and assemblies, BOMs (bill of materials), detailed drawings, and technical design documentation.
  • Ability to operate and make progress in the face of high levels of ambiguity - must be able to pull the trigger and/or disagree and commit to force progress.


What you’ll need:
  • 7-10 years of relevant industry experience, including design of electromechanical systems and outsourcing of systems and/or subsystems to contract manufacturers. 
  • Knowledge of a multitude of manufacturing processes; not limited to semiconductor processes, high-volume/low-mix processes, material processing, etc.
  • General materials knowledge: know major classes of materials, their microstructure, processing, and relative pros/cons in their usage.
  • Advanced proficiency with engineering fundamentals, design principles; this likely means significant background with/use of mechanical CAD tools.
  • Be a self-guided learner. The Manufacturing Team includes very experienced engineers who are always ready with ideas and pointers, however, to be successful you must be able to ascend learning curves quickly and with minimal direction.
  • Easily accept and incorporate feedback from all avenues. As an owner of a major subset of the platform function, you will be serving multiple internal and external end-customers to ensure acceptable function of deliverables.
  • Be a team player. Being motivated by team goals and willing to tackle whatever tasks are necessary - no job is too big or small.
  • Experience across multiple disciplines (e.g., mechanical, optical, electronics, software, etc.) is desired but not required.
  • Excellent written & verbal communication and narrative writing skills.
  • Be a self-starter and finisher.
  • Experience in high-volume manufacturing.
  • Experience with laser and/or optical systems.
  • Experience with precision engineering fundamentals.
  • Minimum B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or similar discipline with demonstrated practical experience.
