Senior ERP/MES Administrator

Atomic Machines•Santa Clara, CA

About The Position

Atomic Machines is ushering in a new era of micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler™ technology platform. This platform enables new classes of micromachines to be designed and built by providing manufacturing processes and a materials library that are inaccessible to semiconductor manufacturing methods. It unlocks MEMS manufacturing not only for device classes that could never be produced by semiconductor methods, but also for entirely new categories. Furthermore, this digital platform is fully programmable in the way 3D printing is digital—but whereas 3D printing produces parts of a single material using a single process, the Matter Compiler™ technology platform is a multi-process, multi-material system: bits and raw materials go in, and complete, functional micromachines come out. The Atomic Machines team has also created an exciting first device—made possible only through the Matter Compiler™ technology platform—that we will be unveiling to the world soon. Our offices are in Emeryville and Santa Clara, California. About the role: At Atomic Machines, we’re completely rethinking how things are built—and we need an ERP/MES Administrator with a strong manufacturing and systems background who can help connect our revolutionary technology to the systems that run our operations. In this role, you’ll use your technical expertise to manage and optimize our ERP and MES platforms, translating complex manufacturing workflows, production data, and operational requirements into well-structured system configurations and clear internal documentation. Your audience will include everyone from engineers and production staff to operations and supply chain teams. You’ll be part of a small, passionate team shaping the company’s processes and products, and your work will be key in enabling scalable, data-driven manufacturing as we bring a whole new category of devices to life. If you love diving deep into manufacturing systems and building processes that help teams operate more effectively, we’d love to hear from you!
