Technical Sourcer

Atomic Machines is ushering in a new era of micromanufacturing with its Matter Compiler™ technology platform, enabling the design and build of new classes of micromachines through a multi‑process, multi‑material system. This digital platform unlocks MEMS manufacturing for device classes that cannot be produced by traditional semiconductor methods and has already resulted in the creation of an exciting first device that will be unveiled soon. Our offices are in Emeryville and Santa Clara, California. About The Role: We’re looking for a Technical Sourcer who excels at mapping markets quickly, building precise talent pipelines, and securing responses from passive candidates at a high rate. You will own top‑of‑funnel sourcing across our most complex technical searches—including robotics software engineers, AI researchers, and manufacturing engineers—partnering tightly with recruiters and hiring managers to define what “great” looks like and then finding it. What You’ll Do: Build and execute targeted sourcing strategies for highly technical roles across software, hardware, robotics, and manufacturing engineering. Own top‑of‑funnel pipeline development using LinkedIn Recruiter, Juicebox, Metaview, and other internal specialized tools. Write personalized, research‑driven outreach, achieving 25%+ response rates on passive candidates. Conduct qualification screens to assess technical fit, motivation, and compensation alignment before passing to full‑cycle recruiters. Develop and maintain search strings, target company lists, and talent maps by role family. Partner with recruiters and hiring managers on intake, calibration, and iterative search refinement. Track sourcing metrics (outreach volume, response rates, pipeline conversion) and report weekly on pipeline health. Use AI tools to accelerate research, draft outreach variations, and identify non‑obvious candidate pools. What You’ll Need: 2–5 years of technical sourcing or recruiting experience at a technical company or staffing firm. Deep fluency with LinkedIn Recruiter and at least one additional sourcing platform (Juicebox, Metaview, Gem, Findem, or similar). Demonstrated ability to build sourcing pipelines for niche, hard‑to‑fill technical roles—finding people who are not actively looking. Strong working knowledge of AI tools as a sourcing accelerator (ChatGPT, Claude, or similar). Strong written communication skills with a track record of outreach messages that get replies. Ability to read a technical job description, ask the right intake questions, and independently construct a sourcing strategy without hand‑holding. Experience with ATS platforms (Greenhouse preferred) for pipeline management, tagging, and reporting. Comfort with ambiguity and willingness to iterate on sourcing strategies. A first‑principles approach to candidate evaluation quality. Bachelor’s degree required. Willingness to work onsite in Emeryville or Santa Clara, 2‑3 days a week. The compensation for this position also includes equity and benefits. Salary Range $130,000 - $200,000 USD Location: Emeryville or Santa Clara, California (onsite 2‑3 days a week). #J-18808-Ljbffr
