Manufacturing Maintenance Technician (2:00pm-10:30pm)

About the Role:

Please note: This role will start on the day shift (9:00 AM to 5:30 PM) to support ramp-up and training, and will transition within the first 3 months to a permanent Second Shift, with operating hours from 2:00 PM to 10:30 PM.

About the Role:

At Atomic Machines, we’re pioneering the Matter Compiler technology, a first-of-its-kind manufacturing platform built from the ground up. Under the direction of the Equipment Supervisor, you’ll partner with Operations and Engineering to optimize, maintain, and enhance the advanced equipment that powers the production of our next-generation MEMS products.

A successful candidate will embrace our values and take ownership of maintaining and troubleshooting the Matter Compiler and other equipment used on our production line.

You will be responsible for sustaining system functionality, performing scheduled preventive maintenance (PMs), responding to unscheduled equipment downtime, and conducting equipment qualification. You will also develop a detailed understanding of Fab processes, ensuring equipment meets or exceeds performance and process criteria.

What You’ll Do:

• Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on a wide range of production and R&D equipment, production automation equipment, production manual equipment, and robotics. 
• Partner cross-functionally with our engineering teams to troubleshoot, diagnose, and resolve mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and software issues.
• Execute equipment qualifications, calibrations, and performance verification to ensure uptime, repeatability, and compliance with process requirements.
• Track maintenance activities, equipment status, and repairs in detailed documentation to support traceability and continuous improvement.
• Develop and refine preventive maintenance procedures, spare-parts strategies, and equipment upgrade plans.
• Support installation, commissioning, and decommissioning of manufacturing tools and infrastructure as the facility scales.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to identify and implement improvements in reliability, throughput, and safety.
• Maintain a safe, clean, and organized work environment, modeling best practices for equipment care and facility stewardship.

What You’ll Need:

• 5+ years of high tech production machine maintenance experience.
• Experience working on manual and automated systems
• Experience working with systems that use chemicals and knowledge of safe working practices
• Hands-on expertise with mechanical, electrical, PLC, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems.
• Strong first-principles troubleshooting skills and a proven record of repairs and continuous improvement.
• Excellent documentation habits — clear, concise, and accurate recordkeeping.
• Safety-first mindset with knowledge of LOTO and high-voltage/gas safety best practices.
• Startup-ready attitude: positive, flexible, and solutions-oriented.
• Physical capability to continually bend, squat, kneel, lift, twist, climb, reach, stand, and walk during an 8-hour shift; perform repetitive hand motions; frequently lift up to 50 lbs and move over 100 lbs as needed.
• PLC programming understanding a plus.
• A High School diploma is required. A two-year technical degree is a bonus.

Bonus:

• Experience working with gloveboxes in controlled environments.
• Hands-on experience with PVD processes.
• Familiarity with ECP or laser machining technologies.
• Advanced knowledge of CNC machining and control systems.
