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.

  • Institutionalize learnings and scale processes across the organization, amplifying Atomic Machines' unique ability to iterate independently and accelerate innovation, resulting in faster development cycles and more resilient execution.
  • Drive the creation and ownership of program roadmaps for the Matter Compiler, setting measurable goals, defining milestones, and establishing accountability frameworks that directly connect to business outcomes and customer impact.
  • Facilitate and lead cross-functional planning sessions, ensuring engineering, operations, and leadership are aligned on deliverables, sequencing, and resource allocations-leading to predictable delivery and reduced cycle times.
  • Build and maintain detailed program execution plans that bridge strategy with daily tasks, keeping teams clear on priorities, dependencies, and timelines so progress can be measured, adjusted, and continuously improved.
  • Design, pilot, and refine processes for collaboration in the Hybrid Fab environment, enabling rapid design-test-learn cycles across disciplines that accelerate technical learning and product readiness.
  • Implement and actively manage risk registers, systematically tracking technical, organizational, and human risks, and updating mitigation strategies as programs evolve-reducing surprises and improving delivery confidence.
  • Develop and maintain dashboards, program reviews, and reporting mechanisms that provide real-time visibility into program health for both executives and team members, enabling data-driven decision-making.
  • Frame and communicate complex technical trade-offs as structured decision points, ensuring stakeholders understand options, implications, and risks so the organization consistently makes informed, high-quality decisions.
  • Author and refine repeatable processes for recurring program challenges such as integration testing, scaling pilot runs into production, and synchronizing cross-team efforts, ensuring repeatability and faster ramp-up for future initiatives.
  • 5+ years of experience as a Technical Program Manager, Engineering Manager, or equivalent leadership role in a multi-disciplinary environment, including leading complex integrated products with electronic/software control from conception to commercial release.
  • Additional 5+ years as a hands-on engineer, designing and building complex systems - ideally highly automated precision systems.
  • A passion for unleashing transformative manufacturing capabilities that open the door to products and innovations previously out of reach, and for shaping how those capabilities are brought to market.
  • A first-principles mindset for evaluating technology investments and strategic decisions-such as buy vs. build or when to specialize vs. generalize-that ensures choices strengthen our long-term competitive advantage.
  • Significant technical background with substantive hands-on experience as an engineer designing and building complex systems-ideally highly automated precision systems.
  • Proven ability to structure programs, manage complex dependencies, track risk, and enable predictability in execution.
  • Experience managing programs that included relentless driving through ambiguity to achieve clarity on scope, ownership, and delivery plans.
  • Ability and inclination to dive into technical details while staying accountable for program outcomes.
  • Deep experience with and conviction around agile methodologies-especially as applied to hardware-and a track record of implementing new processes in startup or fast-moving environments.
  • Experience releasing products to manufacturing following defined, scalable processes.
  • Strong leadership presence and excellent communication skills-articulate, concise, and able to earn the trust of both technical and executive stakeholders.
  • High EQ and sound judgment for human dynamics in technical organizations; able to align people as effectively as systems.
  • At least a BS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or an equivalent technical field.
