Full description
Atomic Machines is building the Matter Compiler™, the first in a new class of AI-native, all-digital manufacturing systems that build working machines directly from code. The Matter Compiler (MC) is aimed at micro-machines: motors and gears the size of a grain of sand, robots small enough to work inside the body, cooling built directly into the chips that run AI, and the many devices like them that have been waiting on a way to build them. Its first product is PrimeSwitch™, an electromechanical power relay the size of a button battery that carries 150 amps continuous current and opens in 50 microseconds, about a thousand times faster than a conventional contactor. Founded by Jeff Holden — serial entrepreneur, ex-Amazon SVP and Uber’s first Chief Product Officer — the company has raised $250 million to date.
Atomic Machines is based in the San Francisco Bay Area, with offices in Emeryville and Santa Clara.
About The Role:
We are seeking a detail-oriented and experienced Quality Inspector to join our manufacturing team. As a Quality Inspector, you're not just checking boxes – you will be the leader of product integrity and the driving force for continuous improvement within the production process. You'll be proactively enhancing our inspection processes, tackling a backlog challenge, and implementing deviation procedures to ensure every product is produced with materials that meet Atomic Machines high quality standards. You're not just identifying problems – you're driving solutions and improvements that have measurable impact. The Quality Inspector is responsible for inspecting materials, parts, and products to ensure they meet established quality standards and specifications.
What You’ll Do:
- Perform visual and dimensional inspections of incoming materials in a timely manner. This includes raw materials and components.
- Enhancing and maintaining IQC practices/procedures to support company goals.
- Ability to understand and follow inspection work instructions.
- Use precision measuring tools such as automated laser measurement systems, CMMs, calipers, micrometers, gauges, and vision systems.
- Review, enhance, and advise on Standard Operating Procedures and Work Instructions.
- Develop a plan and implement a process to clear up a backlog of uninspected materials.
- Verify materials and parts are in line with drawing requirements.
- Document inspection results accurately and maintain quality records in accordance with company procedures.
- Work cross-functionally to develop and implement a deviation process for incoming materials.
- Identify and report non-conformances, aid in driving root cause analysis and corrective/preventive actions.
