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 vehicle bring-up and sensor calibration across our autonomous platforms. In this role, you will take a vehicle from mechanically complete, to first autonomous engagement, to a validated unit released into the fleet, owning the sequence, the calibration method, and the acceptance criteria that determine when a vehicle is ready. You will build the calibration and test infrastructure that turns bring-up from an engineering activity into a repeatable process the production team can run without you.
What you’ll do
- Vehicle Bring-Up: Own the bring-up sequence end to end: power-on, firmware and software load, device enumeration, systems validation, first autonomous engagement validation and the sign-off that releases a vehicle to the fleet.
- Sensor Calibration: Own intrinsic and extrinsic calibration across the full sensor suite of lidar, radar, camera, IMU, and GNSS. Build and maintain the physical calibration environment, define what "in calibration" means, how it is verified, and how a drifting or incorrect calibration is caught early.
- Test Plans & Validation: Author the test plans and procedures our fleet is validated against, execute them, analyze the resulting data, and report results clearly enough to act on.
- Cross-Domain Diagnosis: Resolve ambiguous failures across the mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software boundary, and hand the owning engineer reproduction steps and evidence rather than a symptom.
