Senior/Staff Electrical Engineer

Atomic Machines is on Earth to radically advance humanity's command over matter. Our mission is real-time bits-to-atoms manufacturing of anything at any scale, and to that end, we're developing an entirely new digital micro-device manufacturing platform that is going to redefine how things are made, and do so while simultaneously enabling the rapid creation at any scale of new classes of machines - think medical micro-robotics, true lab-on-chip microfluidics, tunable antennas, ultrafast high-power and high-frequency RF switching devices and many more. The first device we are building with our platform has exceptional large-scale product/market fit and commercial traction, and we are pushing hard to share it with the world.Our offices are in Berkeley and Santa Clara, California.

About the Role:

We are looking for a well-rounded experienced electrical engineer that enjoys working in an agile environment. We expect our engineers to be self-motivated, willing and capable to make decisions based on incomplete information and having a get-it-done attitude.

The main line of work will be to build and integrate machine control systems for our custom manufacturing nodes. Our system is built around a multiprocessor architecture with distinct processors handling networking, general machine control and specialty controls like vision and motion. Cable routing, EMI and ESD control are also important aspects of the job.

We emphasize modularity for reuse to speed up subsequent builds of nodes with similar needs.

What You'll Do:

• Participate in the system architecture definition.

• Design and build custom electronics for our automated manufacturing systems.

• Integrate third party electronics.

• Support the building of engineering fixtures.

• Create and maintain component and module libraries for reuse.

• Generate manufacturing data and interact with vendors.

• Work closely with embedded systems, software and mechanical engineering teams.

What You'll Need:

• 7-10 years of experience.

• Maker mentality.

• Schematics entry, layout and library management (Altium Designer preferred).

• Excellent bring-up and debugging skills.

• Ability to write bring-up code for processors in C, C++.

• Motor control experience.

• Strong background in mixed signal circuit design.

• Power electronics design and bring-up experience

• SPICE simulation knowledge.

• Soldering and test and measurement shop skills.

• Good working knowledge of signal integrity, EMI and ESD handling.

• Cable harness design.

• Good documentation habits.

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics or related field.

Bonus Points For:

• Industrial power distribution experience.

• High reliability design.

• FPGA skills.

• Having worked with contract manufacturers.

• Expertise in FMEA.

• Knowledge of scripting languages to write test programs.

• Knowing your way around a pick and place machine.
