Utility & Commodity Associate

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.

What you’ll do

We are seeking a Commodity & Utility Associate to help optimize energy, utility, and operational costs across our portfolio. You will work across energy procurement, utility management, infrastructure, and automation, with a strong focus on using data to drive better decisions and build scalable processes.

• Manage utilities and energy procurement: Monitor market signals and pricing trends, support electricity and natural gas contract execution, validate commercial terms, benchmark rates, audit utility bills, and track rebates and incentive programs.
• Drive OpEx optimization: Analyze operational expenses to identify leakage, discrepancies, and savings opportunities; investigate root causes and partner with cross-functional teams to drive corrective actions.
• Support power generation and smart infrastructure: Evaluate solutions such as BESS, generators, fuel cells, and microturbines for our EV/AV charging depot network, including vendor comparisons, technical assessments, and ROI analysis.
• Build scalable workflows: Automate recurring processes such as rate benchmarking, bill reconciliation, rebate tracking, leakage detection, and reporting using scripting, dashboards, and AI-assisted development tools.
• Manage vendors and commercial discussions: Lead vendor outreach, compare technical and commercial proposals, and support negotiations across pricing, contract terms, renewals, and termination clauses.
