Robotics Software Engineer

As a Robotics Software Engineer you will develop software to enable real time control, low latency vision systems, optimal planners, and much more. You will design & integrate features such as grasp handling, real time decision making and interface with various sensors. Design and development of novel robotic behaviors for Dexterity’s robotics applications will also be part of your responsibility. You will develop tests, integrate with observability and diagnostics tools to understand the behavior of your software, and make improvements. You will monitor and maintain production software and work on reducing interventions and improving scale. 

About Dexterity: At Dexterity, we believe robots can positively transform the world. Our breakthrough technology frees people to do the creative, inspiring, problem-solving jobs that humans do best by enabling robots to handle repetitive and physically difficult work.

We’re starting with warehouse automation, where the need for smarter, more resilient supply chains impacts millions of lives and businesses around the world.   Dexterity's full-stack robotics systems pick, move, pack, and collaborate with human-like skill, awareness, and learning capabilities.  Our systems are software-driven, hardware-agnostic, and have already picked over 15 million goods in production.  And did we mention we’re customer-obsessed?  Every decision, large and small, is driven by one question – how can we empower our customers with robots to do more than they thought was possible?

Dexterity is one of the fastest growing companies in robotics, backed by world-class investors such as Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Obvious Ventures.  We’re a diverse and multidisciplinary team with a culture built on passion, trust, and dedication.  Come join Dexterity and help make intelligent robots a reality!
