About Atomic Industries
Atomic Industries is reinventing how the world makes things. From cars and aerospace systems to medical devices and packaging, most physical goods begin life in a mold or are shaped by a manufacturing tool. Producing these tools has always been slow, manual, and dependent on scarce expertise, taking weeks or months. We’re changing that.
At our Detroit headquarters, we combine the industrial DNA of America’s manufacturing heartland with the speed, intelligence, and precision of Silicon Valley. Our AI-driven platform tackles the hardest problems in geometry, process planning, and fabrication, collapsing production timelines from months to days and soon, minutes. We don’t just build software; we run a fully operational factory where our technology produces production-grade tooling every week, enabling tight feedback loops and rapid iteration.
Backed by top-tier investors, we’re restoring speed, flexibility, and capability to the American industrial base. Our mission is to make manufacturing as agile and scalable as the digital world, and in doing so, rebuild the infrastructure of the physical economy.
Position Overview
We are looking for a skilled and hands-on Injection Molding Process Technician to support setup, optimization, and troubleshooting across our press lineup. You’ll be responsible for ensuring machines run efficiently and consistently—meeting quality targets, minimizing scrap, and reducing downtime.
This role is critical to our ability to run complex molds at high volumes with the tightest tolerances.
Material dryers, loaders, and temperature controllers
Vision systems and in-cavity sensors (where applicable)
Comfortable with high-volume, fast-paced production environments
Bonus: Familiarity with ISO 9001 or IATF environments; RJG or Paulson training; experience with startup facilities
Competitive pay, benefits, and equity opportunity
Involvement in advanced production cell design and software integration
Career path toward Lead Tech, Process Engineer, or Automation Specialist
A front-row seat in shaping a smarter, vertically integrated manufacturing company.
