Who we are
Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress.
Over the last decade, software has transformed the digital world. But the physical world, where food is made, minerals are mined, goods are moved, and industries are run, remains far less intelligent, far less efficient, and far more constrained. We’re changing that.
Atoms builds Physical AI— real-world robots for the industries that move civilization forward, starting with food, mining, and transport. Our systems are designed to understand, predict, and control the real world with precision, turning complex physical operations into something more reliable, more scalable, and more productive.
This work requires more than robotics. It requires deep integration across hardware, software, AI, operations, manufacturing, and real estate. We don’t just build machines in a lab. We deploy them into real environments, operate them, learn from them, and improve them until they work at scale.
We are roboticists, engineers, operators, and builders. We believe the next great technology companies will not only transform information, but the physical systems that shape everyday life.
If you want to work on hard problems with real-world impact, join us.
About the role
We are seeking a Senior Vehicle Integration Engineer to own the sensing suite and the overall vehicle-level integration of our on-road autonomous platforms. In this role, you will take a platform from bench, to first vehicle-level operation, to a commissioned fleet, working out how sensors, compute, networks, and actuation come together physically and electrically. You will do this across our own vehicles and OEM partner platforms, and you will build the commissioning and test infrastructure that lets the second vehicle go up twice as fast as the first.
What you’ll do
- Vehicle-Level Integration: Own how sensing, onboard compute, vehicle networks, power distribution, and actuation integrate on our on-road platforms, from the first bench through fleet deployment.
- Sensor Suite Integration: Own the sensing suite on-vehicle, contributing to placement and field-of-view trade-offs, occlusion analysis, mounting and alignment tolerances across platforms, high-speed data and power interfaces, time synchronization, multimodal calibration across cameras, lidar, radar, and GNSS/IMU, and the cleaning and health monitoring that keep sensors working in the field.
- Platform Bring-Up & Commissioning: Drive the technical bring-up of new and refreshed vehicle platforms, and turn one-off builds into a repeatable commissioning process covering device firmware, sensor calibration, safety signoffs, and autonomy software integration.
