Job description

Who We Are

Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress.

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

• Manage benefits brokers, vendors & carrier representative relationships.
• Design and implement global programs that support Atoms’ benefits philosophy.
• Manage Global and US annual renewals and lead US open enrollment planning, budget management to include identifying and recommending changes/enhancements to benefits and/or cost-sharing.
• Oversee US Compliance filings and Audits (ie: 5500 or state filings)
• Provide guidance to the People team on benefits administration responsibilities, including employee inquiries, claims assistance, eligibility, billing, COBRA, ACA, leave of absence & disability.
• Manage and administer the global design, implementation, and administration of benefit plan programs, including health, welfare, retirement, leave of absence, and other offerings.
• Conduct benchmarking, gap analysis & make thoughtful recommendations to ensure the competitiveness and cost efficiency of Atoms programs.
• Seek opportunities for process improvements and recommend solution
• Manage a small team of benefit associates

What We’re Looking For

• Global Benefits Experience: Experience designing, implementing, or managing global benefits programs across multiple countries.

• Benefits Administration: Experience with open enrollment, benefits renewals, and program administration.
• Stakeholder Management: Ability to partner with HR, Finance, and leadership to support benefits strategy and operations.

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.
