Job Description

Atomic Machines is ushering in a new era of micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler™ technology platform. This platform enables new classes of micromachines to be designed and built by providing manufacturing processes and a materials library that are inaccessible to semiconductor manufacturing methods. It unlocks MEMS manufacturing not only for device classes that could never be produced by semiconductor methods, but also for entirely new categories. Furthermore, this digital platform is fully programmable in the way 3D printing is digital—but whereas 3D printing produces parts of a single material using a single process, the Matter Compiler™ technology platform is a multi-process, multi-material system: bits and raw materials go in, and complete, functional micromachines come out. The Atomic Machines team has also created an exciting first device—made possible only through the Matter Compiler™ technology platform—that we will be unveiling to the world soon.

Our offices are in Emeryville and Santa Clara, California.

About the role:

We are looking for a full-time Executive Assistant to be a critical partner to our founding team: our CEO and Head of Strategic Growth.

Our mission requires solving problems no one has solved and building capabilities that don't yet exist. It also requires operating differently from organizations built to optimize known systems. That means no role here is beneath anyone. Everyone at Atomic Machines is here to make the company succeed, and supporting the founders in that goal, whether the task is small or enormous, is critical work. If you are the kind of person who sees what needs to happen and does it, you will thrive here.

You will have a front-row seat to how a fast-growing Physical AI company is built and run. Working alongside the founders, you will see how decisions get made, how the business executes, and how a company scales to commercial manufacturing. You'll keep two fast-moving leaders focused on their highest-impact work, and you will grow alongside the company as you do it. Intelligence is getting cheap. Matter is still hard. Come work on the hard part with us.

This role is based in our Santa Clara office 3-4 days a week, with 1-2 days a week at our Emeryville office.

What you'll do:

• Run the executives' schedules, priorities, and incoming requests, using sharp judgment to protect their time and focus
• Coordinate domestic and international travel and logistics
• Be the point of contact between the executives and our internal team, investors, customers, and partners
• Represent the executives in meetings and communications with professionalism and a clear understanding of their priorities
• Draft and send communications on their behalf in their voice, at a high standard of quality
• Prepare the briefings, documents, and presentations that help the founders walk into every room ready
• Drive projects across the company and follow up until they are done
• Manage expenses, offsites, events, and hosting of guests, partners, and candidates
• Handle highly sensitive information with complete discretion

Who we are looking for:

We care less about years of experience than about who you are. You might be an experienced executive assistant ready for a bigger mission, or someone earlier in your career with unusual drive. What matters most:

• Tenacity and grit: You keep going when the work is hard, the priorities shift, and the answer is not obvious.
• High judgment: You know what to escalate, what to handle, and what to say no to, and people trust your calls.
• Mission alignment: You are energized by doing something big and hard, and you want to be part of building it.
• Resourcefulness: You figure it out without waiting to be told.
• Discretion: You can see everything and handle it with total confidentiality.
• Curiosity: You want to understand how the business works and why.
• Polish and warmth: You represent the company well with people at every level.
• Tools: Proficient in Google Workspace and quick to pick up new tools
• Education: Bachelor's degree required

The compensation for this position also includes equity and benefits.
