Job description

Atomic Machines is hiring Electrical Integration Engineers (Electromechanical Focus) to design, build, document, and troubleshoot the electrical systems used in our custom manufacturing equipment.

You will own the electrical integration of electromechanical modules and subsystems, from selecting and interfacing sensors, actuators, and third‑party electronics through first‑article build, bring‑up, validation, and documentation. Interconnect design is an important part of the work, alongside prototype implementation, fixture development, physical integration and packaging, and troubleshooting across electronics, wiring, firmware, and mechanisms. You will work closely with electrical, mechanical, embedded systems, and manufacturing engineers to turn early prototypes into reliable, repeatable, and serviceable designs.

What You’ll Do:

• Select and integrate sensors, actuators, third‑party electronics, power components, cables, connectors, and communication interfaces.
• Design and build prototype interconnects, fixtures, and subsystem test setups.
• Collaborate with mechanical engineers on packaging, routing, retention, access, serviceability, and assembly strategy.
• Troubleshoot issues spanning electronics, wiring, firmware, configuration, and mechanical behavior.
• Create and maintain ICDs, interconnect and cable drawings, work instructions, and bring‑up procedures.

What You’ll Need:

• 5+ years of relevant engineering experience, or equivalent substantial hands‑on experience.
• Experience building, bringing up, or troubleshooting electromechanical hardware.
• Experience with crimping cables
• Ability to read schematics, block diagrams, pinouts, interface documents, and component datasheets.
• Experience integrating and bringing up sensors, actuators, electronics, and wiring within an electromechanical module or machine.
• Experience troubleshooting issues across electronics, wiring, sensors, actuators, and firmware using schematics, datasheets, and common lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzer, multimeters, etc)
• Experience creating and maintaining electrical integration documentation, including ICDs, interconnect diagrams, cable drawings, pin tables, and work instructions.
• Hands‑on experience building, modifying, and testing prototype wiring, cable assemblies, fixtures, or electromechanical hardware.
• Strong documentation and cross‑functional communication skills.
• Relevant hands‑on experience or formal education in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field, including an associate's or bachelor's degree or completion of a trade/technical program.

Bonus Points

• Experience with robotics, automation equipment, scientific instruments, or other complex electromechanical systems.
• Familiarity with motor control, grounding, shielding, EMI, or ESD.
• Experience working with cable vendors, electronics vendors, or contract manufacturers.
