What is a machine control system?

A machine control system is used in jobs like machine control operators to automate and manage heavy equipment such as excavators, bulldozers, and cranes. These systems utilize sensors, controllers, and software to ensure precise operation, improve safety, and increase efficiency on construction or mining sites. Familiarity with control software and safety protocols is often required for these roles.

What is the difference between Machine Control vs Equipment Operator?

AspectMachine ControlEquipment Operator
CertificationsOSHA safety training, equipment-specific certificationsOSHA safety training, equipment-specific certifications
Work EnvironmentConstruction sites, mining, heavy constructionConstruction sites, manufacturing, agriculture
Job RoleProgram and operate machinery with advanced control systemsOperate machinery manually or semi-automatically
Industry UsageHeavy construction, civil engineeringConstruction, manufacturing, agriculture

Machine Control specialists focus on programming and operating advanced machinery with GPS and automation systems, while Equipment Operators handle manual operation of various machinery. Both roles require safety certifications and are vital in construction and heavy industry sectors, but Machine Control roles emphasize technology and precision, whereas Equipment Operators focus on manual skills.

Job description

About Atomic Machines

Atomic Machines is ushering in a new era of micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler™ technology. This full-stack technology 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. It promises to unlock MEMS manufacturing for the many device classes frustrated by semiconductor methods and to open up entirely new product classes. The Matter Compiler™ technology fully realizes the digital manufacturing dream: 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™ technology—that we will be unveiling to the world soon.

Our offices are in Emeryville and Santa Clara, California.

About the Role

We are looking for a well-rounded, experienced Senior Electrical Engineer who enjoys working in an agile environment. We expect our engineers to be self-motivated, willing, and capable of making decisions based on incomplete information, and to have a get-it-done attitude.

The main line of work will be to build and integrate machine control systems for our custom manufacturing nodes. Our system is built around a multiprocessor architecture, with distinct processors handling networking, general machine control, and specialty controls such as vision and motion. Interconnect selection, prototype cabling, and bring-up firmware are also important aspects of the job.

We emphasize modularity for reuse to speed up subsequent builds of nodes with similar needs.

What You'll Do:

  • Participate in system architecture definition and drive electrical architecture
  • Design and build custom electronics for our automated manufacturing systems
  • Integrate third-party electronics
  • Support the building of engineering fixtures
  • Create and maintain component and module libraries for reuse
  • Generate manufacturing data and interact with vendors
  • Work closely with embedded systems, software, and mechanical engineering teams

What You'll Need:

  • 6-10+ years experience as an Electrical Engineer
  • Maker mentality—being hands-on to quickly build, integrate, and test proof of concepts
  • Schematic entry, layout, and library management (Altium Designer preferred)
  • Excellent bring-up and debugging skills
  • Ability to write bring-up code for processors in C/C++ and test scripts in Python
  • Strong background in mixed-signal circuit design
  • Familiarity with a range of sensors and actuators
  • SPICE simulation knowledge
  • SMD soldering skills and familiarity with test and measurement equipment
  • Good working knowledge of signal integrity, EMI, and ESD handling
  • Cable harness design
  • Good documentation habits
  • First-principles thinking with sound instincts for strategic tradeoffs.
  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or related field

Bonus Points For:

  • Motor control experience
  • Flex PCB design
  • High reliability design
  • Expertise in FMEA

The compensation for this position also includes equity and benefits.
