Job description

Prototype Machinist (3:00 PM โ€“ 11:30 PM)

Atomic Machines โ€“ Emeryville, CA
Pay: $45โ€“$55 per hour
Shift: Swing Shift | Full-Time
Location: Emeryville, California

Company Overview

Atomic Machines is pioneering a new era of micromanufacturing with its revolutionary Matter Compilerโ„ข technology โ€” a groundbreaking platform that transforms digital designs into fully functional micromachines. By enabling processes and materials that conventional semiconductor manufacturing cannot support, Atomic Machines is unlocking new capabilities in MEMS, micro-mechanical systems, and advanced device manufacturing.

With facilities in Emeryville and Santa Clara, Atomic Machines sits at the intersection of precision CNC machining, automation, metrology, and cutting-edge R&D hardware development.

About the Role

This Prototype Machinist (Swing Shift) role begins on a standard 8:30 AM โ€“ 5:00 PM schedule for onboarding and training. After ramp-up, it transitions to a permanent 3:00 PM โ€“ 11:30 PM shift.

You will take full ownership of machining projects from concept to completion โ€” including CAM programming, tooling selection, fixturing, CNC machining, inspection, and documentation. Your work directly supports the development and refinement of the Matter Compilerโ„ข and Atomic Machinesโ€™ next-generation micromanufacturing capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

  • Interpret 3D CAD models and engineering drawings to plan setups and machining workflows.
  • Program CAM using Fusion 360, Mastercam, HyperMill, or similar platforms.
  • Run a variety of CNC equipment, including:
    • 3-axis, 3+2, and 5-axis CNC mills
    • Live-tool CNC lathes
    • Waterjets & laser cutters
  • Machine precision components with tolerances down to ยฑ0.0005" (ยฑ13 ยตm).
  • Design and build custom fixtures, tooling, and workholding systems for prototype manufacturing.
  • Perform in-process and final inspections using calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and CMM.
  • Provide design-for-manufacturing (DFM) feedback to engineering teams.
  • Fabricate fixtures, tooling, and prototype structures for R&D hardware.
  • Document machining processes, offsets, inspection results, and lessons learned.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe machine shop environment.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of CNC machining experience, ideally in a high-mix, low-volume, or R&D prototype environment.
  • Proficiency with at least one CAM system (Fusion 360, Mastercam, HyperMill, etc.).
  • Strong understanding of GD&T, precision tolerances, and blueprint interpretation (<0.001").
  • CNC experience with aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and other advanced materials.
  • Skilled with manual machining equipment (mills, lathes, drill presses, saws).
  • Welding certification or practical welding experience is a strong plus.
  • Experience with CMM and advanced metrology tools preferred.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to document workflows clearly.
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs as needed.
