Systems Engineer

Systems Engineer Location: on-site, Detroit, MI Department: Engineering 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 looking for a Systems Engineer to own the infrastructure that runs our factory and engineering operations—from servers and on-prem clusters to shop floor machines and network architecture. This is a hands-on role. You'll be in the plant configuring CNC machines, in the server room managing our compute cluster, and at your desk automating the stuff that shouldn't require a human. Our environment is hybrid, multi-platform, and industrial: Windows Server domains, Mac and Linux workstations, on-prem compute clusters, cloud infrastructure, and a production floor full of CNCs, EDMs, CMMs, and the networking and integration layers that connect it all. We need someone who can unify IT management across this entire stack—not just keep the lights on, but build the systems and tooling to manage it all coherently as we scale. If you've only worked in pure cloud environments, this isn't the role. If you've managed real infrastructure in a manufacturing or industrial setting and want to build something from the ground up, keep reading. What You'll Do - Build unified endpoint management across Windows, Mac, and Linux—provisioning, configuration, patching, security, and lifecycle management under a coherent system - Administer and scale Windows Server infrastructure: Active Directory, Group Policy, file services, DNS, DHCP, and related services - Manage on-premise server clusters and compute infrastructure—hardware, virtualization, storage, backups, and disaster recovery - Own network architecture end-to-end: switching, routing, VLANs, firewalls, VPNs, and wireless across office and production floor environments - Integrate and support manufacturing equipment: CNC machines, EDMs, CMMs, PLCs, and shop floor sensors. Get machines on the network, pulling data, and talking to our systems - Build secure network segmentation between IT and OT environments - Connect on-prem infrastructure to cloud platforms (AWS/GCP) in a hybrid architecture; use Terraform and infrastructure-as-code to manage cloud resources - Support ERP/MRP systems and integrations with shop floor software and business systems - Automate relentlessly: scripting, configuration management, monitoring, alerting—if you're doing it twice, script it - Implement and maintain security controls aligned with CMMC and NIST frameworks—access management, monitoring, incident response, and audit readiness What We're Looking For - 4+ years managing infrastructure in manufacturing, industrial, or similarly hands-on environments - Strong experience across Windows, Mac, and Linux administration—you've managed mixed-OS environments and know how to unify them under common tooling (Jamf, Intune, Kandji, Fleet, or similar) - Deep Windows Server experience: AD, GPO, DNS, DHCP, file services, clustering.
