Electrical Integration Engineer - Electromechanical Focus

Atomic Machines•Santa Clara, CA

8d•$120,000 - $155,000

About The Position

Atomic Machines is hiring Electrical Integration Engineers (Electromechanical Focus) to design, build, document, and troubleshoot the electrical systems used in their custom manufacturing equipment. The role involves owning the electrical integration of electromechanical modules and subsystems, from selecting and interfacing sensors, actuators, and third-party electronics through first-article build, bring-up, validation, and documentation. Key aspects of the work include interconnect design, prototype implementation, fixture development, physical integration and packaging, and troubleshooting across electronics, wiring, firmware, and mechanisms. The engineer will collaborate closely with electrical, mechanical, embedded systems, and manufacturing engineers to transform early prototypes into reliable, repeatable, and serviceable designs.

Requirements

2+ years of relevant engineering experience, or equivalent substantial hands-on experience.
Experience building, bringing up, or troubleshooting electromechanical hardware.
Ability to read schematics, block diagrams, pinouts, interface documents, and component datasheets.
Experience integrating and bringing up sensors, actuators, electronics, and wiring within an electromechanical module or machine.
Experience troubleshooting issues across electronics, wiring, sensors, actuators, and firmware using schematics, datasheets, and common lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzer, multimeters, etc).
Experience creating and maintaining electrical integration documentation, including ICDs, interconnect diagrams, cable drawings, pin tables, and work instructions.
Hands-on experience building, modifying, and testing prototype wiring, cable assemblies, fixtures, or electromechanical hardware.
Strong documentation and cross-functional communication skills.
A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field (associate's, bachelor's, or trade/technical program), or equivalent hands-on experience.

Nice To Haves

Experience with robotics, automation equipment, scientific instruments, or other complex electromechanical systems.
Familiarity with motor control, grounding, shielding, EMI, or ESD.
Experience working with cable vendors, electronics vendors, or contract manufacturers.

Responsibilities

Select and integrate sensors, actuators, third-party electronics, power components, cables, connectors, and communication interfaces.
Design and build prototype interconnects, fixtures, and subsystem test setups.
Collaborate with mechanical engineers on packaging, routing, retention, access, serviceability, and assembly strategy.
Troubleshoot issues spanning electronics, wiring, firmware, configuration, and mechanical behavior.
Create and maintain ICDs, interconnect and cable drawings, work instructions, and bring-up procedures.
