Staff DevOps Engineer

Atomic Machines is ushering in a new era in micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler (MC) technology. The MC enables new classes of micromachines to be designed and built by offering manufacturing processes and a materials library that is inaccessible to semiconductor manufacturing methods. The MC not only promises to unlock MEMS manufacturing for the many device classes that never could be made by semiconductor methods, but also to open up entirely new classes. Furthermore, the MC is a multi-process, multi-material technology: bits and raw materials go in, and complete, functional micromachines come out. The Atomic Machines team has also created an exciting first device – one that was only made possible by the existence of the Matter Compiler – that we will be unveiling to the world soon.

Our offices are in Berkeley and Santa Clara, California.

About The Role:

We are seeking a seasoned DevOps engineer to join our innovative software team. As a Staff DevOps Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in designing, implementing, and maintaining our infrastructure and deployment pipelines.
