Principal Mechanical Design Engineer, Matter Compiler

Atomic
Berkeley, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 1/15/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 3/28/2025

Atomic Machines is ushering in a new era in micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler (MC) technology. The MC enables new classes of micromachines to be designed and built by offering manufacturing processes and a materials library that is inaccessible to semiconductor manufacturing methods. The MC promises to unlock MEMS manufacturing both for the many device classes that never could be made by semiconductor methods but also to open up entirely new classes. Furthermore, the MC is fully digital in the way 3D printing is digital, but where 3D printing produces parts of a single material using a single process, the MC is a multi-process, multi-material technology : bits and raw materials go in and complete, functional micromachines come out. The Atomic Machines team has also created an exciting first device – one that was only made possible by the existence of the Matter Compiler – that we will be unveiling to the world soon.

All potential candidates should read through the following details of this job with care before making an application.

Our offices are in Berkeley and Santa Clara, California.

About the role :

We are seeking a seasoned Principal Mechanical Design Engineer to join our growing team in either our Berkeley or Santa Clara office.

What you’ll need :

  • 10 years of experience designing complex multi-physics precision mechanical systems.
  • Demonstrated deep expertise in one or more disciplines and breadth or the ability to learn across the following engineering disciplines : precision engineering, machine design, mechanisms, thermal, vacuum, fluids, optics, electromagnetics, sensors, materials.
  • Proficiency in systems engineering and system architecture definition.
  • Multiple successful product life cycles that you’ve stewarded from conception to successful market launch.
  • Experience leading cross-functional technical teams toward successful product development in multiple technical domains.
  • Exceptional command of engineering fundamentals, design principles, and detailed engineering definition.
  • Infectious creativity and inventiveness, the ability to take and manage technical risks, and lead by influencing.
  • Resourcefulness, flexibility, and adaptability, with no task too big or too small.
  • A willingness to learn; a willingness to teach.
  • Minimum B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent.
  • Bonus points for :

  • Industry experience in product development processes such as Agile, ICSM, etc.
