Technical Writer

Who we are

Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress.

Over the last decade, software has transformed the digital world. But the physical world, where food is made, minerals are mined, goods are moved, and industries are run, remains far less intelligent, far less efficient, and far more constrained. We’re changing that.

Atoms builds Physical AI— real-world robots for the industries that move civilization forward, starting with food, mining, and transport. Our systems are designed to understand, predict, and control the real world with precision, turning complex physical operations into something more reliable, more scalable, and more productive.

This work requires more than robotics. It requires deep integration across hardware, software, AI, operations, manufacturing, and real estate. We don’t just build machines in a lab. We deploy them into real environments, operate them, learn from them, and improve them until they work at scale.

We are roboticists, engineers, operators, and builders. We believe the next great technology companies will not only transform information, but the physical systems that shape everyday life.

If you want to work on hard problems with real-world impact, join us.

We're looking for a Technical Writer to build and maintain the documentation backbone of our manufacturing and engineering operations as we scale toward mass production. You'll work directly with production, engineering, and quality teams to turn tribal knowledge and in-progress processes into clear, consistent, and easy-to-follow documentation — work instructions, test procedures, troubleshooting guides, and engineering release notes. This is a hands-on, floor-facing role: you'll spend real time at workstations observing builds, talking to technicians, and capturing process detail firsthand, not just editing documents at a desk.

This is a high-impact, early-stage hire. As we add workstations, introduce design changes, and ramp build volume, the quality of our documentation directly affects build consistency, training speed, and downtime. You'll be the person who keeps that foundation solid.

• Standardize work instructions across every manufacturing workstation, ensuring a consistent format, level of detail, and visual style
• Maintain a living build-step instruction set that stays current as workstations multiply, processes evolve, and engineering changes are introduced
• Build, update, and revise procedures for test steps, test programs, rework processes, and build procedures as they change
• Organize and maintain our knowledge base
  , building out new pages and improving structure so information is easy to find and keep current
• Review BOM changes and publish release notes coming from engineering, ensuring production teams see and understand what changed and why
• Build troubleshooting and diagnostic documentation from field diagnostic data, working to reduce downtime by making root-cause and resolution paths easier to follow
• Support engineering documentation standards
  , helping formalize how design and process documentation is created and maintained as the team grows

• Experience writing technical or process documentation in a manufacturing, hardware, automotive, aerospace, or similarly hands-on production environment
• Comfort working directly on the production floor — observing builds, interviewing technicians, and translating hands‑on process knowledge into clear written and visual instructions
• Strong organizational instincts; you naturally think in terms of structure, version control, and findability, not just individual documents
• Experience with Notion and Linear (or similar knowledge‑base tools) for building and organizing documentation systems
• Abil…
