Job description

About Atomic Industries

Atomic Industries is reinventing how the world makes things. From cars and aerospace systems to medical devices and packaging, most physical goods begin life in a mold or are shaped by a manufacturing tool. Producing these tools has always been slow, manual, and dependent on scarce expertise, taking weeks or months. We’re changing that.

At our Detroit headquarters, we combine the industrial DNA of America’s manufacturing heartland with the speed, intelligence, and precision of Silicon Valley. Our AI-driven platform tackles the hardest problems in geometry, process planning, and fabrication, collapsing production timelines from months to days and soon, minutes. We don’t just build software; we run a fully operational factory where our technology produces production‑grade tooling every week, enabling tight feedback loops and rapid iteration.

Backed by top‑tier investors, we’re restoring speed, flexibility, and capability to the American industrial base. Our mission is to make manufacturing as agile and scalable as the digital world, and in doing so, rebuild the infrastructure of the physical economy.

Position Overview

We’re seeking a detail‑oriented and dependable Quality Inspector to support quality control and inspection across our injection molding operations. You’ll be on the floor inspecting parts, maintaining records, and working closely with process engineers and production to ensure every part meets Atomic’s exacting standards.

This is a key hands‑on role as we scale high‑volume production and build out our ISO‑compliant quality systems.
