Who we are
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.
About the role
We’re looking for a resourceful, hands-on Shop Manager with strong technical expertise and a builder-oriented mindset to lead maintenance operations and support future fleet growth beyond the market. This role owns the full maintenance lifecycle, from facility setup and operational buildout to daily shop operations, fleet uptime, and continuous improvement. You will build scalable maintenance operations from the ground up, develop high-performing technician teams, drive fleet reliability and readiness, manage vendors and maintenance KPIs, and establish best-in-class EV fleet operations focused on safety, compliance, efficiency, and vehicle availability. This role is critical to ensuring our fleet remains safe, operational, and ready to support day-to-day transportation operations.
What you'll do
At first, you're a hands-on builder who thrives in the ambiguity of building and scaling maintenance operations from zero to one. You take ownership of fleet uptime, operational readiness, and reliability while balancing speed, safety, compliance, and quality standards. You bring deep technical fluency across EV platforms, high-voltage systems, diagnostics, charging infrastructure, and modern fleet operations. You're equally comfortable turning a wrench, troubleshooting operational inefficiencies, reviewing KPIs, or communicating fleet readiness metrics to leadership. You are a data-driven operator and strong problem solver who builds scalable systems, drives accountability, and performs well in fast-moving, high-growth environments. You build strong teams, develop technicians, and lead from the front while maintaining tight control over vendors, tools, documentation, and fleet maintenance operations.

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.
