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: This isn't your typical recruiting role-it's dynamic, immersive, and deeply rewarding. We're building breakthrough technology and will require our recruiter to be eager to learn across multiple engineering and operational disciplines, including mechanical systems, hardware, processes, design, production, and manufacturing. Every hire matters, and our standards are high-but they're fair, clearly defined, and rooted in first principles. We're looking for a technically fluent recruiter who can engage confidently across domains-someone who can speak the language of engineers, understand how different disciplines intersect, and communicate the complexity and excitement of what we're building. You'll be embedded in the work: learning how our systems operate, and helping top engineering talent see the impact they can make here. We operate as one integrated team-collaboration, curiosity, and adaptability are key. As a Startup Recruiter, you'll drive full-cycle recruiting for our technical and non-technical teams. You'll partner closely with hiring managers and interviewers to execute high-quality searches, maintain strong candidate pipelines, and help build the multidisciplinary foundation of a company that's redefining how things are made. This role may be based out of Emeryville or Santa Clara, California What You'll Do: * Own full-cycle recruiting for roles across multiple engineering and operational domains-mechanical, electrical, embedded systems, finance, operations and manufacturing-from kickoff through close. * Develop creative sourcing strategies that reach exceptional, often passive, technical talent from leading engineering and technology companies. * Collaborate with engineers to learn the technology, understand the challenges, and authentically communicate our mission to candidates. * Maintain clear, consistent communication to deliver a high-quality candidate experience from first touch to offer. * Share standout talent and collaborate across the recruiting team by contributing to shared pipelines and feedback loops that drive transparency, teamwork, and company-wide hiring success. * Continuously improve recruiting processes, tools, and metrics to increase speed, quality, and candidate engagement. * Jump in where needed-whether it's refining a pitch, sourcing for a new function, or helping a teammate close a critical hire-this is a collaborative startup environment where adaptability matters. What You'll Need: * 3-5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience across technical or engineering disciplines, with demonstrated success in high-growth startup environments. * A proven ability to engage and hire top engineering talent across multiple domains, such as program management, finance, software, or manufacturing. * First-principles recruiting mindset - you question assumptions, dig into the "why" behind role needs, and design sourcing and evaluation strategies from the ground up rather than relying solely on precedent. * Demonstrated success in developing and executing sourcing strategies that attract and engage passive talent. * Experience using applicant tracking systems such as Greenhouse, Lever, or Ashby. * Strong closing skills-you drive the process end-to-end with persistence, judgment, and finesse. * A high degree of judgment and ability to operate autonomously while knowing when to collaborate or escalate. * A genuine curiosity for complex technology-you ask questions, dig in, and build fluency in what our teams are developing. * A collaborative mindset-you thrive in a team-driven recruiting culture that values shared wins and open communication. * Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with attention to tone, clarity, and detail. * Strong multitasking skills-you can balance multiple searches while maintaining a high bar for quality and candidate experience. * Bachelor's degree. * Availability to be on-site in Emeryville or Santa Clara, 3 days a week, working side-by-side with engineers and hiring managers. The compensation for this position also includes equity and benefits. Salary Range $120,000-$150,000 USD
