Careers / 2026

Build the machines that keep humans on the floor.

ATLAS exo is a small, ship-focused hardware team. We're hiring engineers, designers, and operators who want their work on a person's back, in a warehouse, on a Tuesday.

Why ATLAS

Field-first engineering

Every part we design gets strapped to a person before it gets a part number.

Hardware that ships

We build for the warehouse floor, not the trade-show booth. If it can't take a shift, it doesn't leave the shop.

Operators are users

The person wearing ATLAS has the final word on whether ATLAS is good. We design with them, not for them.

Safety as a product

Redundant systems, fail-safe locking, and emergency release are features, not paperwork.
