Senior Manager - Network and Information Security

Emeryville or Santa Clara, California 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.

This strategic leadership role is responsible for architecting, building, and governing enterprise network and security infrastructure across a high-tech manufacturing environment. The Senior Manager blends deep technical expertise in network architecture, cloud networking (AWS), and cybersecurity with hands-on people management to deliver secure, resilient, and scalable connectivity across all production and corporate sites. This role serves as the principal authority on network and security, working cross-functionally with IT, engineering, and business stakeholders to align network capabilities with manufacturing operational goals.

• Leadership, Team and Vendor Management
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a small team of network and security engineers, providing technical guidance and career development.
  • Set team priorities, manage workloads, and ensure 24/7 operational coverage through on-call rotations and escalation protocols.
  • Manage external vendors, holding all parties accountable to defined SLAs, quality standards, and outcomes.
• Network Architecture and Design
  • Own end-to-end enterprise network architecture, including LAN/WAN, SD-WAN, wireless, and OT/IT segmentation.
  • Architect scalable, high-availability solutions supporting manufacturing operations, IoT devices, and enterprise applications.
  • Lead routing and switching design (BGP, OSPF, VLAN segmentation, QoS) and manage equipment lifecycle.
  • Maintain network architecture diagrams, standards documentation, and lifecycle roadmaps; evaluate emerging technologies and vendors to address capability gaps.
• Cloud Networking
  • Design, implement, and manage networking constructs including VPCs, Transit Gateways, Direct Connect, VPN, Security Groups, and NACLs.
  • Architect hybrid connectivity between on-premises sites and cloud services, ensuring low-latency, secure, and resilient integration.
  • Partner with engineering and Dev Ops teams to define network guardrails, tagging standards, and organization-level policies.
  • Optimize cloud networking costs and performance through right-sizing and architectural reviews.
• Network Security
  • Lead design and enforcement of network security policies, including firewall rule management, ZTNA, NAC, and micro-segmentation.
  • Manage firewalls, IDS/IPS, proxies, and related security appliances through their full lifecycle.
  • Oversee vulnerability assessments and penetration test scoping; ensure timely remediation and report risk to stakeholders.
  • Support compliance activities (NIST, SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.) through controls documentation, audit evidence, and remediation execution.
• Operations & Incident Management
  • Lead day-to-day network operations, ensuring high availability and performance across enterprise and manufacturing segments.
  • Serve as the senior escalation point for network and security incidents, both internal and vendor-related.
  • Oversee network monitoring platforms (e.g. Grafana, Datadog, Logic Monitor, etc.); define alerting thresholds, dashboards, and response runbooks.
  • Drive root cause analysis (RCA)…
