Responsibilities
The Senior NPI Engineer will lead the transition of robotic hardware from prototype to steady-state manufacturing by managing engineering changes and production readiness. They will collaborate with design and manufacturing teams to develop assembly procedures, test fixtures, and documentation to ensure scalable production.
Requirements
Candidates must have at least 3 years of experience in NPI processes for complex hardware systems like robotics or automotive. A degree in mechanical or manufacturing engineering is required, along with proficiency in CAD tools and PLM systems.
Full job description
Who we are
Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress.
Over the last decade, software has transformed the digital world. But the physical world, where food is made, minerals are mined, goods are moved, and industries are run, remains far less intelligent, far less efficient, and far more constrained. We’re changing that.
Atoms builds Physical AI— real-world robots for the industries that move civilization forward, starting with food, mining, and transport. Our systems are designed to understand, predict, and control the real world with precision, turning complex physical operations into something more reliable, more scalable, and more productive.
This work requires more than robotics. It requires deep integration across hardware, software, AI, operations, manufacturing, and real estate. We don’t just build machines in a lab. We deploy them into real environments, operate them, learn from them, and improve them until they work at scale.
We are roboticists, engineers, operators, and builders. We believe the next great technology companies will not only transform information, but the physical systems that shape everyday life.
If you want to work on hard problems with real-world impact, join us.
What you’ll do
Work side by side with design engineers and engineering technicians on prototype builds to find issues and incorporate them back into design
Plan and execute pilot builds and drive learnings back into the design process
Develop ECO process including provisions for field retrofit process
Work with the operations teams to roll out hardware updates
Produce assembly and installation documentation for both internal and external audiences
Design operations / customer facing kits using the engineering BOMs including packaging and consumables
Update test procedures and fixtures in response to BOM and design changes ensuring test coverage is maintained with the product evolution
Define the production readiness criteria and own the hand off to steady state manufacturing
Work closely with the manufacturing team to design scalable work stations, procedures, and instructions
Specify the design of and partner with mechanical engineers on assembly and test fixtures
What we’re looking for
3+ years experience including hands on implementation of ECOs systems
Experience with Robotics, Autonomous vehicle, Automotive, or similarly complex systems
Experience standing up NPI processes from scratch
Experience scaling a hardware product from prototype to production
Experience managing engineering changes on products already deployed to customers
Experience with PLMs such as Arena, Windchill, Agile, 3Dx, including workflow configuration and ECO implementation
Experience with DFA / DFM for a variety of different manufacturing methods
Experience with SolidWorks or similar CAD tools
Experience building and/or working with schematics and harness documentation (e.g Zuken, Altium, Capital) is strongly preferred
Mechanical, manufacturing or similar engineering degree is required
Why join us
At Atoms, you’ll work on one of the defining challenges of our time—bringing automation into the physical world to drive real, lasting impact. We exist to uncover valuable unknown truths and turn them into progress, which means constantly pushing beyond what’s known and building what doesn’t yet exist. The work is ambitious and often challenging, but it’s grounded in a shared sense of purpose and a team committed to seeing it through together. Our work only matters if it serves others, and we know that meaningful progress depends on the trust of the people we serve and the strength of our team—so we invest in both, creating an environment where you can do your best work and grow.
What else you need to know
This role is based in our San Franciscooffice. Atoms is a company driven by invention and continuous change - we are constantly reimagining our industries, building new products, and refining how we operate. We do our best work together. That’s why all of our office-based teams work onsite, five days a week.
The base salary range for this role is $182,000 - $230,000 per year.
Actual compensation will be determined on an individual basis and may vary depending on experience, skills, and qualifications.
Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package. You may also be eligible for equity awards and an annual performance-based bonus.
Atoms builds physical automation to transform industry and move the world.
Everything in our civilization is mined, grown, manufactured, and moved. Atoms develops the robotics, software, and infrastructure that automate these physical systems.
Atoms Food: Infrastructure for better food.
Atoms Mining: More productive mines to power Earth’s industries.
Atoms Transport: Wheelbase for robots.
Together, these systems form a new class of computation for the real world - machines that sense, predict, and act in physical environments to make industry more productive, reliable, and scalable.
Atoms build the progress machines that power the next era of human advancement.
