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. About The Role Procurement is a critical lever in how we scale efficiently and operate at a high standard across hundreds of facilities.

Manage key vendor relationships, including performance, pricing, contracts, payment terms, risk, and compliance. Partner with construction teams to ensure materials and services are sourced and delivered according to project schedules and key milestones. Monitor market trends, material costs, vendor capacity, and supply risks that could impact construction timelines or budgets. Develop and improve procurement processes, tools, reporting, and vendor management practices as the company scales. Manage multiple sourcing initiatives independently and provide recommendations and results to senior leadership. What We’re Looking For A self-starter with an ownership mindset, driven to learn fast, go deep, and become a true expert in procurement, construction, and supplier strategy. A builder who can own cost from concept to completion, coordinating estimates across design phases, procuring GCs, architects, and engineers, and managing contracts while maintaining tight control over project cash flow.
