About the Role

At Atoms, we are building the machines that power the next era of progress. We are transforming the physical world by integrating Physical AI into industries such as food, mining, and transport. Our systems are designed to understand, predict, and control the real world with precision, making complex physical operations more reliable, scalable, and productive.

As a Manufacturing Vehicle Integration Technician, you will prepare passenger vehicles for autonomous operation by installing sensor stacks, compute units, and wiring harnesses according to engineering drawings and documented procedures. You will work hands-on in and around vehicles in a fast-moving production environment where precision matters and so does speaking up when something in the process doesn't look right.
