Atomic Machines is ushering in a new era of micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler™ technology platform, which unlocks MEMS manufacturing for device classes that could never be produced by semiconductor methods. The platform enables multi‑process, multi‑material fabrication, providing the materials library and manufacturing processes necessary for new classes of micromachines. Our offices are located in Emeryville and Santa Clara, California. About the Role

We are seeking an innovative process engineer to develop and integrate novel manufacturing processes for best‑in‑class commercial devices. The role involves applying micro‑fabrication expertise to transition from raw materials to fully packaged devices, supporting Design for X (DfX) initiatives, optimizing manufacturing flows, and translating processes to our autonomous digital platform at scale. The position reports to the Director of Process Engineering and is based in Emeryville. What You’ll Do

Develop process flows for major device subsystems for high‑mix, high‑volume production. Drive continuous improvement by defining, monitoring, and controlling fabrication processes. Conduct manufacturing experiments and process reliability testing with manual and semi‑automated tools; interpret, analyze, and report results. Collaborate cross‑functionally with technicians, product engineers, and quality engineers to improve process flow and meet commercial targets. Leverage thin‑film processes (bonding, plasma, electrochemical, PVD) to engineer surfaces and create multilayer structures. Apply metrology techniques to evaluate materials and components (X‑ray CT, SEM/EDS, XRF, optical imaging, profilometry). Perform complementary testing to evaluate mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and thermal performance of full devices and/or their components. Conduct root cause analysis of devices and processes and contribute to process failure mode and effects analysis (PFMEA). Write, maintain, and improve process and product documentation. What You’ll Need

Degree in Chemical, Mechanical, Materials Engineering, or a related field. Strong analytical skills in statistical process control (SPC), design of experiments (DOE), and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Hands‑on experience translating R&D processes to a manufacturing environment. Knowledge of micromachining technologies, including lithography, deposition, plating, and etching of metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experience developing and following stringent standard operating procedures (SOPs). Familiarity with Python and other software interfaces. Experience with CAD, CMM, and geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T) analyses. Training or experience in Six‑Sigma, Lean, Kaizen, or other process improvement methods is preferred. Experience with laser micromachining is preferred. Bachelor’s degree and at least 2 years of relevant work experience.
