About Atomic Machines
Atomic Machines is ushering in a new era of micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler™ technology. This full-stack technology 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. It promises to unlock MEMS manufacturing for the many device classes frustrated by semiconductor methods and to open up entirely new product classes. The Matter Compiler™ technology fully realizes the digital manufacturing dream: 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™ technology—that we will be unveiling to the world soon. Our offices are in Emeryville and Santa Clara, California.
About The Role:
As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will design and build the distributed software system that controls the Matter Compiler. You’ll have the chance to work across layers of the stack from low-level device interfaces to user-facing tools. One sprint, you might be tuning motors or working on FPGA interfaces; the next, implementing a HIL test or modeling an analog to digital converter. You’ll be joining a fast-paced, interdisciplinary environment with close collaboration across teams — including modeling and simulation, materials science, process development, and mechanical engineering — as we bring truly novel technology to life. This role is based in Emeryville or Santa Clara and is well-suited to an engineer with strong fundamentals, curiosity, and the fire to grow into systems-level thinking.
- Write, operate, and debug software and firmware for complex robotics with hard real-time constraints. The code you write is what drives all manufacturing operations at Atomic Machines – and must be reliable, fault tolerant, and well instrumented.
- Work at multiple levels of the software stack. You’ll design and implement a networked API and debug it down to the hardware.
- 10 + years of industry experience with embedded systems programming, particularly for ARM architectures and real-time operating systems (RTOS)
- Bachelor of Science in Computer Science or a related field.
- Multi programming language fluency. Ability to code fluently in multiple languages, at multiple levels of the stack. Our embedded engineers primarily use C++ and Python. Experience with similar languages is ok, and knowledge of Go is a bonus.
- A deep understanding of how computers work. Our work involves a variety of processors and computing environments – Linux, FreeRTOS, and bare metal.
- Undergraduate-level knowledge of Operating systems, Networks, Concurrency & execution models, and Computer architecture.
- Experience designing, building, and shipping complex distributed software systems that control hardware, as part of a team.
Bonus Points For
- Experience writing APIs and infrastructure that support operation of manufacturing nodes, material transport systems, and the system-level controller. Our monolithic central controller (Go, Postgres, gRPC) communicates with a distributed network of physical machines.
- Experience with instrumenting software for observability and debugging.
- Experience with version control, Infrastructure-as-Code, and DevOps workflows.
- Familiarity with the fundamentals of robotic systems, such as feedback control systems, motion planning, and computer vision.
- Familiarity with CAD and CAM software, focusing on geometry engines, toolpath generation, and machining strategies.
The compensation for this position also includes equity and benefits.
Salary Range: $150,000 USD - $180,000 USD

Align your resume to Atomic Machines job requirements
Software Engineer roles at Atomic Machines often emphasize systems-level or hardware-adjacent software work. Tailor your resume to reflect low-level programming, embedded systems, or precision hardware experience before applying, not after.
Confirm your OPT authorization covers your start date
If you're on F-1 OPT, your EAD card must be valid on day one of employment. USCIS recommends applying 90 days before your program end date, so plan your Atomic Machines application timeline around that window.
Research Atomic Machines open roles before reaching out
Atomic Machines posts Software Engineer openings across multiple specializations. Use Migrate Mate to filter active roles by visa type so you're targeting positions where sponsorship is already part of the hiring plan.
Understand how TN status works for Software Engineers
Canadian and Mexican nationals can enter on TN status under the Computer Systems Analyst or similar qualifying category. Confirm your job title and duties align with a TN-eligible occupation before your offer letter is finalized with Atomic Machines.
Clarify H-1B cap timing early in your offer discussion
H-1B cap registrations open each March for an October 1 start. If you receive an offer outside that window, ask Atomic Machines whether cap-exempt employment or a bridging arrangement is available while you wait for the next cycle.
Gather your degree equivalency documentation before interviews
H-1B specialty occupation requires a U.S. bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in a related field. If your credential is from outside the U.S., obtain a credential evaluation from a NACES-member organization before Atomic Machines initiates your I-129 petition.

Find Software Engineer at Atomic Machines JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Atomic Machines sponsor H-1B visas for Software Engineers?
Yes, Atomic Machines sponsors H-1B visas for Software Engineer roles. The company has a history of supporting international candidates through the visa process for technical positions. Because H-1B sponsorship requires the employer to file a Labor Condition Application with the DOL and petition USCIS, it's worth confirming sponsorship intent directly when you receive an offer.
How do I apply for Software Engineer jobs at Atomic Machines?
Applications go through Atomic Machines' careers page, where Software Engineer openings are listed by specialization. You can also browse and filter current Atomic Machines roles by visa type on Migrate Mate, which lets you confirm sponsorship eligibility before you apply. Having your resume tailored to the specific role requirements before submitting gives you a stronger start.
Which visa types does Atomic Machines support for Software Engineer roles?
Atomic Machines supports H-1B, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, and TN visas for Software Engineer positions. F-1 CPT is typically available during a degree program for internship or co-op roles, while OPT and H-1B cover post-graduation employment. TN is an option for Canadian and Mexican nationals whose job duties fall within a qualifying USMCA occupation category.
What qualifications does Atomic Machines look for in Software Engineer candidates?
Atomic Machines operates in the precision hardware and advanced manufacturing space, so Software Engineer roles typically require strong fundamentals in systems programming, embedded software, or hardware-software integration. A bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, computer engineering, or a closely related field is the baseline, and hands-on experience with low-level or real-time systems is frequently reflected in job postings.
How do I time my H-1B sponsorship process when applying to Atomic Machines?
The H-1B cap registration window opens each March, with approved petitions taking effect October 1. If you secure an offer outside that window and your current status is expiring, ask whether Atomic Machines can structure your start date around cap timing or whether a status bridge is possible. USCIS premium processing is available to expedite petition adjudication once a registration is selected.
