We\u2019ll build the tools ourselves so we can quickly iterate and improve.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re building a small team of exceptional, hands-on engineers to make this happen. Mechanical, electrical, hardware, computer, and process. We\u2019ll own the stack from atoms to architecture. Our team is optimistic about the future and we want to continue pushing the limits of technology.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Smaller is better. Faster is better. Building it ourselves is better.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We believe our team and lab can build anything. We\u2019ve set up 3D printers, a wide array of microscopes, e-beam writers, general fabrication equipment &#8211; and whatever is missing, we\u2019ll just invent along the way.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Atomic was founded by Sam Zeloof and Jim Keller.
