About Atomic
Atomic Industries is reinventing how the world makes things. From cars and aerospace systems to medical devices and packaging, most physical goods begin life in a mold or are shaped by a manufacturing tool. Producing these tools has always been slow, manual, and dependent on scarce expertise, taking weeks or months. We’re changing that.
At our Detroit headquarters, we combine the industrial DNA of America’s manufacturing heartland with the speed, intelligence, and precision of Silicon Valley. Our AI-driven platform tackles the hardest problems in geometry, process planning, and fabrication, collapsing production timelines from months to days and soon, minutes. We don’t just build software; we run a fully operational factory where our technology produces production-grade tooling every week, enabling tight feedback loops and rapid iteration.
Backed by top-tier investors, we’re restoring speed, flexibility, and capability to the American industrial base. Our mission is to make manufacturing as agile and scalable as the digital world, and in doing so, rebuild the infrastructure of the physical economy.
About the Role
We are seeking a manufacturing engineer to help build and launch a high-volume, highly automated injection molding plant. You will work closely with the Plant Manager to design and bring up molding cells, specify and commission equipment, and engineer production lines to run at high yield and uptime from day one.
This is a hands-on, execution-focused role. You will be responsible for engineering the full molding cell—from material handling to press automation to part packaging—not just optimizing isolated processes. The ideal candidate has launched automated molding lines in fast-moving, high-mix environments and is comfortable taking ownership of throughput, quality, and cycle time from end to end.
Responsibilities
-
Engineer, design, and commission complete injection molding cells, including presses, EOAT, robotics, dryers, vision systems, material handling, and packaging equipment
-
Collaborate with tooling and automation teams to ensure that molds and fixtures are designed for automation, reliability, and maintainability
-
Specify, install, and validate manufacturing equipment, including thermal systems, drying/blending systems, and auxiliary automation
-
Own cell layout, material flow, and process integration; optimize for uptime, cycle time, and changeover efficiency
-
Drive qualification activities including FAT/SAT, DOE, Cpk, GR&R, and root cause analysis
-
Integrate sensor feedback and process monitoring systems in collaboration with automation and software teams
-
Generate and maintain clear, concise documentation including process instructions, validation protocols, and standard work
-
Work alongside quality and process technicians to establish control plans and quality checkpoints
Qualifications
-
5+ years in manufacturing engineering for injection molding operations, with experience launching automated production cells
-
Demonstrated ownership of equipment specification, vendor interaction, process integration, and startup in a production setting
-
Strong working knowledge of mold tooling, press systems, cycle time optimization, and automation integration
-
Experience with high-volume or high-mix operations in plastics manufacturing
-
Familiarity with robotic systems, vision inspection, thermal management, and downstream automation
-
Proficient in root cause analysis, process validation, and lean manufacturing principles
-
Able to work cross-functionally and move quickly with minimal oversight in a startup environment
Preferred
-
Experience with Moldflow, RJG, or scientific molding techniques
-
Exposure to MES or real-time factory monitoring systems
-
Proficiency in CAD (SolidWorks, Creo, or equivalent) and engineering documentation systems
-
Background in high-performance, fast-paced manufacturing environments that emphasize quality, speed, and iteration
Benefits
-
Competitive salary and generous equity package
-
Full medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents
-
401(k)
-
PTO with a 15-day minimum
-
Quarterly team travel to Detroit
-
Visa support for TN, E‑3, and O‑1 candidates
-
Hardware stipend and on-site prototype lab access
