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
The HR Manager is a key leadership role supporting a high-volume, complex transportation operation across multiple Los Angeles depots. This role directly manages a team of three HR Coordinators and serves as the primary HR partner to the Director of California Operations, and frontline leadership to support a high-volume, fast-paced operation with a large hourly workforce.

You will lead employee relations, work closely with internal claims administrators and insurance providers on leave and workers’ compensation processes, and guide managers through complex people situations – all while building a culture of compliance and care.

- Manage and develop a team of HR Coordinators to scale market support and ensure consistent application of HR practices
- Partner with local leaders on employee relations, terminations, policy enforcement, and frontline coaching
- Support operational incident response, including coordination with insurance providers on WC claims, HR escalations, and employee concerns
