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.

• Outside Counsel and Vendor Management: Directly manage external corporate secretarial firms, registered agents, and legalisation agents across APAC to ensure high quality, cost efficient, and timely delivery.

Role Qualifications & Competencies

• Singapore Professional Qualification: Chartered Secretary / Chartered Governance Professional credential (e.g., CSIS / SAICSA membership).

• Years of Experience: 5 years of corporate secretarial and/or corporate paralegal experience within a top-tier Singapore law firm, corporate service provider, or multinational in-house legal department.

• Language Capabilities: Proficiency in Mandarin (written and spoken) is preferred to effectively liaise with Chinese-speaking stakeholders, partners, and local service providers.
