## Job Description

Prototype Machinist (3:00 PM - 11:30 PM)

Atomic Machines - Emeryville, CA Pay: $45-$55 per hour Shift: Swing Shift Full-Time Location: Emeryville, California

Company Overview

Atomic Machines is pioneering a new era of micromanufacturing with its revolutionary Matter Compiler technology - a groundbreaking platform that transforms digital designs into fully functional micromachines. By enabling processes and materials that conventional semiconductor manufacturing cannot support, Atomic Machines is unlocking new capabilities in MEMS, micro-mechanical systems, and advanced device manufacturing.

With facilities in Emeryville and Santa Clara, Atomic Machines sits at the intersection of precision CNC machining, automation, metrology, and cutting-edge R&D hardware development.

About the Role

This Prototype Machinist (Swing Shift) role begins on a standard 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM schedule for onboarding and training. After ramp-up, it transitions to a permanent 3:00 PM - 11:30 PM shift.

You will take full ownership of machining projects from concept to completion - including CAM programming, tooling selection, fixturing, CNC machining, inspection, and documentation. Your work directly supports the development and refinement of the Matter Compiler and Atomic Machines' next-generation micromanufacturing capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

- Interpret 3D CAD models and engineering drawings to plan setups and machining workflows.

- Program CAM using Fusion 360, Mastercam, HyperMill, or similar platforms.

- Run a variety of CNC equipment, including: 3-axis, 3+2, and 5-axis CNC mills Live-tool CNC lathes Waterjets & laser cutters

- Machine precision components with tolerances down to 0.0005" ( 13 µm).

- Design and build custom fixtures, tooling, and workholding systems for prototype manufacturing.

- Perform in-process and final inspections using calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and CMM.

- Provide design-for-manufacturing (DFM) feedback to engineering teams.

- Fabricate fixtures, tooling, and prototype structures for R&D hardware.

- Document machining processes, offsets, inspection results, and lessons learned.

- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe machine shop environment.

Qualifications

- 3+ years of CNC machining experience, ideally in a high-mix, low-volume, or R&D prototype environment.

- Proficiency with at least one CAM system (Fusion 360, Mastercam, HyperMill, etc.).

- Strong understanding of GD&T, precision tolerances, and blueprint interpretation (

- CNC experience with aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and other advanced materials.

- Skilled with manual machining equipment (mills, lathes, drill presses, saws).

- Welding certification or practical welding experience is a strong plus.

- Experience with CMM and advanced metrology tools preferred.

- Strong communication skills and ability to document workflows clearly.

- Ability to lift up to 50 lbs as needed.
