Atomic Machines is ushering in a new era in micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler (MC) technology. The MC 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. The MC promises to unlock MEMS manufacturing both for the many device classes that never could be made by semiconductor methods but also to open up entirely new classes. Furthermore, the MC is fully digital in the way 3D printing is digital, but where 3D printing produces parts of a single material using a single process, the MC is a multi-process, multi-material technology: 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 – that we will be unveiling to the world soon.

Our offices are in Emeryville and Santa Clara, California.

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Director of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) to join our management team and ensure our operations meet the highest standards of safety, compliance, and environmental responsibility.

• Serve as the primary advisor to senior leadership on all EHS-related matters.

• Approver for design for safety on all equipment used at AM sites
• Ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local EHS regulations, including OSHA, EPA, CDRH, and relevant international standards.
• Oversee audits, inspections, and incident investigations, ensuring timely corrective actions and reporting.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of EHS legislation and emerging industry trends.
• Program Development & Implementation
• Design and implement robust safety programs for handling and working around chemicals, lasers, robotics, electrical energy, and other hazardous operations.
• Develop emergency response plans, training programs, and safety protocols tailored to each location's unique needs.
• Implement and manage environmental initiatives, including waste management, emissions reduction, and sustainability projects.
• Conduct risk assessments and hazard analyses for all operational processes, including the use of chemicals, lasers, electrical circuits and robotics.
• Define procedures for the safe on-boarding of new processes and equipment.
• Monitor safety metrics, analyze trends, and drive continuous improvement in EHS performance.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate EHS considerations into product and equipment design, operations, and supply chain activities.
• Lead and mentor site-specific EHS teams and professionals, fostering skill development and accountability.
• Oversee company-wide training programs to ensure employees are informed and empowered to work safely.
• Act as the primary liaison with regulatory bodies, external auditors, customers, corporate partners, and community stakeholders on EHS matters.
• Communicate EHS performance, challenges, and achievements to internal and external stakeholders.
