Over the last decade, software has transformed the digital world. But the physical world, where food is made, minerals are mined, goods are moved, and industries are run, remains far less intelligent, far less efficient, and far more constrained. We’re changing that. Atoms builds Physical AI – real-world robots for the industries that move civilization forward, starting with food, mining, and transport. Our systems are designed to understand, predict, and control the real world with precision, turning complex physical operations into something more reliable, more scalable, and more productive. This work requires more than robotics. It requires deep integration across hardware, software, AI, operations, manufacturing, and real estate. We don’t just build machines in a lab. We deploy them into real environments, operate them, learn from them, and improve them until they work at scale. We are roboticists, engineers, operators, and builders. We believe the next great technology companies will not only transform information, but the physical systems that shape everyday life. If you want to work on hard problems with real-world impact, join us. ### About the role As the first HR Generalist on the Transport & Mining HR team, you'll work directly with the Head of HR for Transport & Mining to build the people foundation for two fast-scaling businesses. This role is designed for someone with 3-5 years of HR experience who wants to grow in employee relations, manager coaching, data-driven HR, and operational excellence. You'll support employees and managers across a diverse workforce: engineers and operations teams in San Francisco, manufacturing technicians, and hourly field teams at customer sites in the US and internationally. You'll own day-to-day HR operations, keep our people data accurate, ensure compliance, and help deliver the people programs that let these teams scale. Your job is to help us move from reactive to proactive while the organization is still being built. The ideal candidate brings a service mindset, exceptional attention to detail, and sound judgment in a fast-paced environment. You'll be equally comfortable supporting an engineer in HQ and a technician on a shift schedule. ### What you’ll do ### Employee Relations & Manager Coaching - Serve as the first point of contact for employee and manager questions across Transport & Mining, providing guidance on HR policies, benefits, leaves, and local requirements. - Handle employee relations intake, documentation, resolution tracking, and trend spotting, and partner with Employee Relations on investigations and complex cases. - Coach managers on performance, conduct, and attendance issues, including coaching conversations, documentation, and performance improvement plans. - Coach new and first-time managers on everyday people practices, and help build simple resources they can use on their own. ### HR Operations & Compliance - Own onboarding and offboarding for a high volume of employees across office, field, and manufacturing roles, from HRIS setup, background checks, and site readiness to termination entries, final pay, and system deactivation. - Process job changes, transfers, and pay changes with high accuracy, and keep employee data clean as T&M teams move onto Atoms' core HR systems. - Partner with Payroll on timekeeping audits for hourly and shift-based employees, including overtime and premium pay, and help make sure roles are classified correctly as exempt or non-exempt. - Coordinate workers' compensation claims from intake to resolution with operations, safety, and insurance partners, and conduct regular audits across HR focus areas to ensure ongoing compliance and operational accuracy. - Support M&A integration efforts, including employment agreements, benefits transitions, and onboarding into Atoms programs and systems. ### Business Partnership & People Programs - Partner with engineering, operations, and manufacturing leaders on org changes, team health, and headcount planning, bringing data and a point of view to the conversation. --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app).
