Requirements

  • A first-principles mindset — question assumptions, break problems down to fundamentals, and prefer root-cause solutions over pattern-matching
  • At least 6 years of total experience, ideally with 3+ years writing software tools in a production environment and 3+ years of experience working on complex electromechanical systems
  • Technical Skills: High degree of proficiency in Python or Julia, familiarity with C/C++, and experience with software tools like Git
  • Knowledge: Strong grasp of math and physics, engineering principles, mechanical aptitude, and manufacturing experience. Familiarity with digital twin creation via discrete event simulation tools, optimization algorithms and frameworks. Familiarity with tools such as OR-Tools, Pyomo, Simpy, Modelica, Anylogic
  • Attributes: Creativity, problem-solving skills, ownership of projects, willingness to learn quickly, and ability to work autonomously in ambiguous situations
  • Documentation: Ability to communicate clearly and professionally
  • Culture Fit: Productive participation in scrum meetings

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with cross-functional design teams to conceptualize and refine low-level design concepts, and establish operational models
  • Develop and maintain software system models and simulation tools to create digital twin prototypes to guide development roadmaps and evaluate key design decisions
  • Design and develop visualization, APIs to enable cross-functional teams use models in a variety of applications
  • Create algorithmic optimization tools across process, hardware, and software to evaluate complex design scenarios
  • Run and document key system-of-systems, subsystem simulations to guide hardware development, trade analysis for robotic and mechatronic designs
  • Define, analyze, and develop essential requirements for the Atomic Machines system. Identify and mitigate latent risks across the system early and effectively
  • Engage in problem-solving for complex, multi-subsystem issues in a dynamic startup environment

Atomic Machines

Develops machines for atomically precise manufacturing

About Atomic Machines

Atomic Machines develops machines for atomically precise manufacturing (APM), which allows for the creation of physical objects directly from digital designs. Their technology focuses on microfabrication, particularly in producing Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), which are small devices that combine mechanical and electronic components. Unlike traditional methods that rely on silicon, Atomic Machines offers a more efficient approach to MEMS fabrication. They cater to various industries, including semiconductor, automotive, healthcare, and consumer electronics, providing advanced fabrication solutions that enhance precision, efficiency, and scalability. The company differentiates itself by focusing on APM, aiming to set new standards in manufacturing technology. Their goal is to transform the manufacturing landscape by merging digital and physical production processes.
