About Atomic Industries
At Atomic Industries, we're revolutionizing the manufacturing landscape. From automotive and aerospace to medical devices and packaging, our mission is to expedite the creation of the tools that shape our physical world. Traditional manufacturing processes are often slow and reliant on limited expertise, taking weeks or months to accomplish. We are changing this narrative.
Our Detroit headquarters blends the rich industrial heritage of America's manufacturing hub with the agility, intelligence, and precision characteristic of Silicon Valley. Our AI-enhanced platform addresses complex challenges in geometry, process planning, and fabrication, dramatically reducing production timelines from months to mere days—or even minutes. We are not just developers; we operate a fully functional factory that produces production-grade tooling every week, fostering rapid iteration and tight feedback loops.
With the backing of elite investors, we are revitalizing speed, adaptability, and capability within the American industrial sector. Our goal is to render manufacturing as nimble and scalable as the digital realm, thereby reconstructing the infrastructure of the physical economy.
Role Overview
We are seeking a Systems Engineer to oversee the infrastructure that powers our factory and engineering operations—from servers and on-site clusters to floor machines and network architecture. This is a hands-on position. You will be configuring CNC machines in the plant, managing our compute cluster in the server room, and automating processes that should not require human intervention.
Our work environment is hybrid, multi-platform, and industrial: Windows Server domains, Mac and Linux workstations, on-prem compute clusters, and cloud infrastructure, all integrated with a production floor filled with CNCs, EDMs, CMMs, and the networking layers that bind it all. We need someone capable of consolidating IT management across this entire spectrum—not just keeping the systems operational, but building the frameworks and tools necessary for coherent management as we scale.
If your experience is solely in cloud environments, this position may not be the right fit. However, if you have managed real infrastructure in a manufacturing or industrial context and aspire to build something from the ground up, we want to hear from you.
