About Atomic
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.
Role Overview
We're hiring an IT Specialist to take ownership of our growing IT infrastructure across multiple physical and cloud environments. This person will be responsible for the day-to-day operation, security, scaling, and support of IT systems that span our production facility, engineering team, and remote operations. You’ll work closely with our engineering and manufacturing teams to ensure secure, reliable, and efficient connectivity for mission-critical operations.
This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll build and run the IT backbone of a modern industrial company, from network topology to endpoint security to internal tools. As we scale, you’ll help grow the IT team and define the standards for technology operations across the business.
Key Responsibilities
Must-haves:
Atomic Industries is an equal opportunity employer. We value diversity of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. All hiring decisions are based on business needs, job requirements, and candidate qualifications.
