Atomic Machines is ushering in a new era in micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler (MC) technology. The MC 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. The MC promises to unlock MEMS manufacturing both for the many device classes that never could be made by semiconductor methods but also to open up entirely new classes. Furthermore, the MC is fully digital in the way 3D printing is digital, but where 3D printing produces parts of a single material using a single process, the MC is a multi-process, multi-material technology: 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 – that we will be unveiling to the world soon.
Our offices are in Berkeley and Santa Clara, California.
About this Role:
As VP of Production Manufacturing, your overarching responsibility is to plan, stand up and operate a new generation of fully autonomous commercial fabs based on Atomic Machines’ groundbreaking Matter Compiler manufacturing technology, to achieve the company’s aggressive growth goals. Your organization will include Supply Chain, Shipping/Receiving, Fab Operations, Facilities, Manufacturing Partnerships, Quality & Reliability, ERP Systems and Foundry Services. You will make heavy use of your network and knowledge of the manufacturing industry to select and bring up contract manufacturing partners to enable flexible and rapid scaling of internally designed Matter Compiler equipment.
The Matter Compiler technology enables a new generation of fab that is modular, fully autonomous, digital and AI-controlled. Many traditional manufacturing patterns will not apply (e.g. the extremely high degree of automation, the high-mix/high-volume interchangeability, the deterministic process control, the real-time nature of the MC, the Digital Materials approach, etc.): this leader must simultaneously bring a deep understanding of manufacturing/operations theory and practice and first-principles thinking, as we are charting significant new territory in advancing the human command of matter.
