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

As part of the real estate team that delivers, maintains and modifies kitchens facilities to support Atoms and CloudKitchens operations. as well as third-party partners, you will be the primary owner of project execution across multiple simultaneous projects.

• Own end-to-end delivery of kitchen modifications for major enterprise customers and/or robotics installations: design, permitting, construction, inspection, and handoff to operations.
• Manage construction budgets and cost controls across a high volume of concurrent, small-to-medium scale projects.
• Navigate permitting and inspection processes across varied jurisdictions, staying ahead of code constraints and AHJ requirements.
• Direct cross-functional and technical teams — engineering, construction, and kitchen onboarding — finding shortcuts and unblocking critical path items wherever possible.
• Manage relationships with internal stakeholders and external clients across a multitude of simultaneous projects with many moving parts.
• Apply technical understanding of engineering systems and code constraints to solve complex, kitchen-specific build challenges

What We’re Looking For

• Experience developing commercial kitchens, or technically similar environments, with a strong grasp of construction budgeting and cost control.
• A track record in permitting and inspection processes, with working knowledge of code constraints across jurisdictions.
• Strong stakeholder and client management skills — comfortable owning relationships with both internal teams and external customers.

Core Competencies

• Development of commercial kitchens or technically similar builds
• Construction budgeting and cost control
• Permitting and inspection processes
• Stakeholder (internal) and client (external) management
• Technical understanding of engineering systems and code constraints

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.
