About the role

Compute Technician Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress. We're changing the physical world, where food is made, minerals are mined, goods are moved, and industries are run, to be more intelligent, efficient, and productive. As a Compute Technician, you will build the custom compute units that power autonomous vehicles. Working at a production bench from documented work instructions, you will assemble electronic and mechanical components into finished compute boxes, load software onto them, and verify quality before they move to vehicle installation. This is precision bench work with daily build targets in a scaling production environment.

What you'll do:

Assemble compute units at a production station per work instructions: install circuit boards, compute modules, storage, and internal electronic components into enclosures
Perform careful cable dressing, connector seating, and torqued fastener installation to specification
Follow ESD-safe handling procedures for all boards and electronic components
Perform in-process and final quality checks; record serial numbers and results for traceability
Pull parts from kitted bins and carts, verify kit completeness, and flag missing, wrong, or damaged parts before starting a build
Meet daily build targets while maintaining quality standards
Follow standard operating procedures and flag gaps, errors, or improvement ideas from the bench
Keep the workstation clean, organized, and stocked

What we're looking for:

High school diploma or equivalent
Background in box build, PC assembly, avionics, or electromechanical assembly
Experience in an ESD-controlled or electronics manufacturing environment, electronics assembly, hardware assembly, or precision production work
Comfortable with hand tools, torque drivers, and small fasteners
Ability to read and follow assembly documentation, diagrams, and checklists
Familiarity with flashing or imaging devices, or basic command-line comfort
Experience with quality inspection and traceability documentation
Strong attention to detail and ability to perform repetitive precision tasks with consistent quality

Physical Requirements:

Ability to stand and work at a bench for extended periods
Ability to lift and move materials up to 40 pounds
Ability to handle small components and perform fine motor tasks throughout the workday
