Requirements

  • 10+ years of industry experience with embedded systems programming, particularly for ARM architectures and real-time operating systems (RTOS)
  • Bachelor of Science in Computer Science or a related field
  • Multi programming language fluency, with ability to code fluently in multiple languages at multiple levels of the stack (primarily C++ and Python; experience with similar languages ok, knowledge of Go is a bonus)
  • Deep understanding of how computers work, involving a variety of processors and computing environments (Linux, FreeRTOS, and bare metal)
  • Undergraduate-level knowledge of Operating systems, Networks, Concurrency & execution models, and Computer architecture
  • Experience designing, building, and shipping complex distributed software systems that control hardware, as part of a team

Responsibilities

  • Write, operate, and debug software and firmware for complex robotics with hard real-time constraints (code drives all manufacturing operations and must be reliable, fault tolerant, and well instrumented)
  • Work at multiple levels of the software stack, including designing and implementing a networked API and debugging it down to the hardware
  • Design and build the distributed software system that controls the Matter Compiler
  • Work across layers of the stack from low-level device interfaces (e.g., tuning motors, FPGA interfaces) to user-facing tools (e.g., implementing HIL tests, modeling analog to digital converters)

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.
