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 Accounting Manager to help build and operate the accounting function at Atomic as we scale following our Series A. You will run day-to-day accounting operations, lead the monthly close, and establish the policies and processes that ensure clean, accurate financial statements. You’ll collaborate with the Head of Finance and work cross-functionally to build the financial backbone for a complex, AI-driven manufacturing business.

This is a critical role for someone who wants the opportunity to lay the foundation for a scalable accounting function in a dynamic, rapidly growing company.

What You’ll Do

  • Run the monthly close and produce accurate financial statements in a timely manner, with a focus on improving efficiency as processes mature.

  • Design and maintain the financial architecture to ensure accurate, consistent, and scalable reporting.

  • Define and apply accounting policies for revenue recognition, expense classification, capitalization, and depreciation.

  • Own cost accounting and inventory processes, including standard costing, inventory valuation, and variance analysis.

  • Partner cross-functionally to ensure reliable data capture, accurate cost allocation, and alignment between operations and financial reporting.

  • Oversee fixed asset accounting, including capitalization policies, depreciation methodology, and accurate reporting of asset values.

  • Design and implement practical internal controls, and ensure reconciliations and documentation are maintained for transparency and audit readiness.

  • Manage relationships with external accounting firms and auditors.

  • Own the integrity of accounting systems and ERP data, ensuring accurate flow of transactions and information across the business.

What We’re Looking For

  • 7+ years of progressive accounting experience, with a foundation in corporate accounting and meaningful exposure to manufacturing cost accounting.

  • CPA or equivalent credential.

  • Big 4 or equivalent background strongly preferred.

  • Background in a hard-tech or high-growth technology company.

  • Ability to operate independently in a fast-paced environment.

  • Strong communication skills with the ability to explain accounting concepts across non-finance teams.

  • Proven ability to streamline and improve accounting processes.

  • Strong Excel skills; SQL familiarity a plus.

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with manufacturing, tooling, or high-mix production environments.

  • Experience with revenue recognition in a manufacturing or contract-based business (ASC 606).

  • Experience with ERP configuration and accounting workflow design.

Compensation

  • Base Salary Range: $130,000 – $160,000

  • Equity: Competitive equity package

  • Bonus: Performance-based bonus tied to financial and operational milestones

  • Benefits: Full medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, and relocation support if needed

Equal Opportunity Employer

Atomic Industries is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, national origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, or disability status.

Technology

Atomic currently offers a challenging environment for engineers from computational geometry/meshing, CFD, to physical HPC + ML problems. We're excited to break down barriers of traditional physics solvers using deep learning and other advanced methodologies. We're highly focused on a single application and value chain, so we're not recreating the wheel in terms of making broad platforms for users. We're actually doing the opposite, creating a computational API that places humans in the back seat. You'll be working on problems that fundamentally move the field of human creativity and design forward.
