About Atomic Industries
Atomic Industries is reinventing how the world makes things. From cars and aerospace systems to medical devices and packaging, most physical goods begin life in a mold or are shaped by a manufacturing tool. Producing these tools has always been slow, manual, and dependent on scarce expertise, taking weeks or months. We’re changing that.
At our Detroit headquarters, we combine the industrial DNA of America’s manufacturing heartland with the speed, intelligence, and precision of Silicon Valley. Our AI-driven platform tackles the hardest problems in geometry, process planning, and fabrication, collapsing production timelines from months to days and soon, minutes. We don’t just build software; we run a fully operational factory where our technology produces production-grade tooling every week, enabling tight feedback loops and rapid iteration.
Backed by top-tier investors, we’re restoring speed, flexibility, and capability to the American industrial base. Our mission is to make manufacturing as agile and scalable as the digital world, and in doing so, rebuild the infrastructure of the physical economy.
About the Role
As an Infrastructure Engineer at Atomic, you’ll own the systems that power high-performance simulation, geometry processing, and factory automation. You’ll be responsible for building and maintaining the hybrid infrastructure that spans cloud, on-prem, and GPU compute environments.
This role is ideal for engineers who thrive at the intersection of reliability, performance, and engineering velocity.
What You’ll Do
Manage and improve CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Terraform, HashiCorp stack)
Orchestrate compute workloads across cloud and bare-metal GPU clusters
Design systems for secure, fault-tolerant deployment and observability
Build internal tooling to accelerate developer workflows and operations
Partner with engineers on simulation, ML, and backend teams to scale infrastructure
Monitor and tune system performance under high computational loads
What We’re Looking ForMinimum Qualifications
5+ years in DevOps, infrastructure, or site reliability engineering
Proficiency with container orchestration (Nomad, Kubernetes), IaaC, and Linux
Strong scripting and programming skills (Python, Bash, Go)
Experience with hybrid (cloud + on-prem) infrastructure
Familiarity with distributed systems, caching layers, and observability tools
Background supporting ML, simulation, or HPC workloads
Experience managing large GPU fleets or multi-node compute tasks
Security or compliance experience (ITAR, SOC2, CMMC)
Track record of building tooling for high-autonomy engineering teams
How We Work
Fast iteration: We deploy code daily and validate it in the factory every week
Factory-first mindset: Engineers spend time on the shop floor to understand the real-world impact of their work
Low ceremony, high ownership: We value well-written design docs, tested code, and real results — not meetings
Collaborative culture: Geometry, AI, and robotics teams are tightly integrated and co-develop the product together
Benefits
Competitive salary and generous equity package
Full medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents
401(k)
PTO with a 15-day minimum
Quarterly team travel to Detroit
Visa support for TN, E‑3, and O‑1 candidates
Hardware stipend and on-site prototype lab access
