Senior Manager - Network and Information Security
Atomic Machines · Emeryville or Santa Clara, California
Extracted from the posting
Senior Manager leading network and security infrastructure for AI-native manufacturing systems. Manages small team of network/security engineers. Responsible for enterprise network architecture, AWS cloud networking, firewalls, and 24/7 operations across San Francisco Bay Area manufacturing sites.
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.
