Who we are
Atoms is building the machines that power the next era of progress.
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
Because Atoms employs its drivers and operations staff as W-2 team members, workers’ compensation is one of our most significant and people-critical exposures. As Workers’ Compensation Specialist, you will own our WC program end to end and across multiple states—managing claims from first report through resolution, driving injured team members back to health and work, and partnering with People, Safety, and Operations to prevent injuries in the first place.
What you’ll do
Manage the full lifecycle of workers’ compensation claims across all Atoms markets, from first notice of injury through resolution and closure.
Serve as the primary liaison to our TPA, carrier(s), and defense counsel; monitor adjuster performance, reserves, and claim strategy.
Own and administer return-to-work and modified/light-duty programs in partnership with People and Operations to reduce lost time and indemnity cost.
Coordinate incident investigation with Safety, ensuring root-cause findings feed back into injury-prevention efforts.
Ensure compliance with multi-state workers’ compensation statutes and posting/reporting requirements (California and Texas in particular).
Maintain OSHA 300/300A logs and support all regulatory recordkeeping and injury reporting.
Track and analyze claim trends, frequency/severity, and cost drivers; deliver regular reporting to leadership.
Manage medical provider networks and support timely, appropriate care for injured team members.
Provide loss and exposure data to support annual WC program renewals.
What we’re looking for
4+ years of hands-on workers’ compensation claims experience, ideally multi-state; California WC experience strongly preferred.
Working knowledge of California and Texas workers’ compensation statutes, benefit structures, and dispute processes.
Experience managing TPAs, adjusters, and defense counsel, and holding them accountable to outcomes.
Proven success building or running return-to-work / modified-duty programs.
Strong organization, written communication, and comfort with a fast-moving, high-volume environment.
Nice to have: professional designation (e.g., WCCP, ARM, CPCU coursework), RMIS experience, and exposure to a distributed/multi-site workforce.
What success looks like
Injured team members feel supported, informed, and return to work safely and promptly.
Lost-time claims and total WC cost trend down relative to headcount growth.
Stay fully compliant across every market it operates in.
