As a Senior Robotics Manipulation Engineer, you will develop and implement advanced models for robotic manipulation, control, and simulation. Responsibilities include training AI models, collaborating with other engineers, and enhancing software performance to improve Dexterity's robotic systems in automation.
Summary Generated by Built In

As a Senior Robotics Manipulation Engineer, you will be working on a myriad of challenges related to manipulation, control, simulation and learning. You will bring a data driven approach to learned robot controls. You will also stay abreast of the latest progress in reinforcement learning, motion planning and controls, and other related fields in order to further develop Dexterity’s technology foundations in physical AI.


Dexterity’s robotic solutions integrate data from a multitude of sensors, including RGB cameras, depth sensors, force-torque sensors, encoders, system telemetry and human input. To better inform the planning and execution system, you may work on sensor fusion and state estimation techniques to leverage this multimodal sensory data.


You will work closely with the data platform, simulation, and robot operations teams to collect training data to improve your models.


In addition to core manipulation and controls, you will be responsible for building high quality, maintainable, and performant software. Ideally, you will possess strong software system and interface design skills.


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?
