Senior Vehicle Integration Engineer

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.

We are seeking a Senior Vehicle Integration Engineer to own vehicle bring-up and sensor calibration across our autonomous platforms. In this role, you will take a vehicle from mechanically complete, to first autonomous engagement, to a validated unit released into the fleet, owning the sequence, the calibration method, and the acceptance criteria that determine when a vehicle is ready. You will build the calibration and test infrastructure that turns bring-up from an engineering activity into a repeatable process the production team can run without you.

• →Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field is required, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• →3+ years integrating, validating, and debugging electrical and electromechanical systems on prototype and production vehicles in autonomous vehicles, EVs, or at an automotive OEM or supplier, with a proven track record of technical ownership.
• →Deep hands-on expertise in vehicle E/E architecture: low-voltage power distribution and redundancy, wire harness and connector systems for both low and high voltage, and the failure modes that come with them.
• →Fluency with automotive networks and diagnostics (CAN, CAN FD, Automotive Ethernet, and DTCs) and the supporting tooling, including Vector CANalyzer, Vehicle Spy, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
• →Experience integrating and debugging vehicle actuation interfaces: steering, braking, and propulsion, or comparable motor-control and powertrain systems, including redundant, degraded, and fail-operational behavior.
• →Experience integrating compute into vehicles: carrier boards, high-speed differential signaling, power sequencing, and thermal management.
• →Proven ability to navigate highly ambiguous environments, self-direct technical problem-solving, and clearly communicate technical trade-offs to cross-functional partners.
• →Ability to work onsite five days a week in San Francisco, travel to test and deployment sites, and hold a valid driver's license with a clean driving record.

This role is based in our San Francisco office. 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 $176,000 - $242,000 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.
