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

We are seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Site Engineer to join our project delivery team in the UAE. This is a site-based role that plays a critical part in ensuring construction and fit‑out activities are executed efficiently, safely, and in line with technical, quality, and operational requirements. The Site Engineer will work closely with internal teams, consultants, and contractors to support the successful delivery of KitchenPark facilities, from site readiness through to handover.

The successful candidate will initially be assigned to projects in Abu Dhabi for approximately six months, supporting the delivery of multiple new sites. Following this period, they will transition to overseeing projects based in Dubai and other Emirates locations.

• Support projects from design approvals through construction, commissioning, and handover to Operations.
• Coordinate with local authorities and support inspections and regulatory approvals.
• Organizing materials and ensuring sites are safe and clean
• Preparing cost estimates and ensuring appropriate materials and tools are available
• Providing technical advice and suggestions for improvement on particular projects
• Diagnosing and troubleshooting equipment as required
• Drawing up work schedules and communicating any adjustments to crew members and clients
• Gathering data, compiling reports and delivering presentations to relevant stakeholders
• Delegating tasks and scheduling meetings and training sessions where required
• Working alongside civil engineers, structural engineers, architects and surveyors, to make sure that building sites are fit for purpose
• Maintain detailed documentation of all site engineering activities
• Collaborate with management to align activities with desired business outcomes

What we are looking for

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering (Civil, Construction, Mechanical, or related field preferred)
• 3–5 years of relevant experience in site engineering, construction, or project delivery roles
• Industry experience in F&B‑related environments such as cloud kitchens, commercial kitchens, food production facilities, or similar operational spaces is preferred
• Experience supporting on‑site execution, contractor coordination, and fit‑out works
• Ability to work in fast‑paced, site‑based environments with multiple stakeholders
• Strong coordination, documentation, and communication skills
• Familiarity with local construction codes, safety standards, and authority requirements in Qatar is an advantage
• Must have your own car and drivers license

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 Dubai office. As a company driven by innovation and continuous change, close collaboration is essential. We’re constantly reimagining our industry, creating new products, and refining our processes, and we do our best work together. That’s why all of our office‑based teams work onsite, five days a week.

Ready to join us as we serve those who serve others?
