Berkeley, California, United States Atomic Machines Full time

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 seeking a seasoned embedded software engineer to own the firmware that will control every aspect of the multiple robotic machines, or "nodes" within our fully automated fabrication platform. Our complex systems require real-time performance, particularly for our precision motion trajectories. This role will simulate, develop, test, and debug embedded software for our systems and will need a firm grasp of the physics behind our mechanical engineering work to do so. You will be working on micrometer resolution laser cutters, precision optical alignment systems, fast robotic material handlers and many other manufacturing processes to make them all play together in a 24/7 lights out factory.

What You'll Do:

  • Architect and program Atomic Machines' Microcontroller suite.
  • Gather requirements to develop embedded firmware for industrial control and real-time applications.
  • Read and interpret data sheets and schematics to support electrical engineering.
  • Advise both Mechanical and Electrical engineers on system optimization.
  • Develop rigorous test plans, including regression tests, across multiple robotic machining nodes.
  • Design closed-loop feedback around all processes to allow unattended safe and reliable operation.
  • Define the testing requirements and specifications for the hardware your drivers will support.
  • Communicate cross-functionally with other engineering disciplines to gather requirements and deliver feedback.
  • Rigorously document our embedded development efforts.

What You'll Need:

  • 5-10 years of industry experience, with at least 5 years of architectural experience.
  • Proficiency in C / C++.
  • Familiarity with FPGAs, including soft processors. Bringing up heterogeneous multiprocessing systems under Linux, RTOS and bare metal.
  • A proven track record of defining firmware architecture optimally against complex precision system requirements.
  • Be willing and able to dig deep into microcontrollers and the hardware of the boards you are working on.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work independently and or cross-functionally.
  • Experience with RTOS development.
  • At least a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Physics.

Bonus Points For:

  • Experience with CNC or robotic embedded control systems.
  • An ability to read and understand Verilog or VHDL code.
  • A thorough understanding of and experience with motion control (FOC of BLDC motors).
