About 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!

Responsibilities:

• Design and prototype simple, scalable and robust electro-mechanical systems, including mechatronic assemblies for the entire robot stack, such as motors, power electronics, motor controllers, pneumatics, physical sensing using SolidWorks, KiCAD, FEA, and AutoCAD; design power and control panels with PLC integration, functional safety modules, and industrial machinery while adhering to standards like IPC, FCC, UL, and CE; test mechatronic solutions to quantify system performance and troubleshoot bugs utilizing lab test instruments (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, function generators, logic analyzers etc.); measure, log and debug system health and performance using embedded C/C++ and Python; write and maintain design documentation and BOM, that clearly communicates device design, capabilities, and manufacturing / assembly / test / installation / maintenance procedures; perform FMEA analysis to identify possible modes of failure during design, manufacturing, deployment and maintenance; and utilize product lifecycle management tools, such as Jira and Arena.
• Multiple positions open. 25% travel required globally in the US, Canada, India, Taiwan, Japan, and Mexico.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, or Electrical Engineering, or foreign degree equivalent, plus 2 years of experience as an Engineer, intern or co-op in one of the following engineering fields: Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical, Product Operations Manufacturing, Robotics, or Automation Engineering. 
• Experience must include designing and prototyping mechanical and electrical systems; electronics for industrial automation (PLCs, motor drive, industrial machinery, functional safety modules, sensors, actuators, etc.); mechanical design (SolidWorks or equivalent) and rapid prototyping (3D printing, laser cutting, machine shop skills);  debugging and lab test instruments (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies); fundamental controls concepts (PID, deadband, bode plots, etc.)
• Basic Embedded programming utilizing C/C++ and Python; product lifecycle management tools, such as Jira, Arena or equivalent; create assembly instructions, process documentation, preventive maintenance and control plans; and FMEA analysis to identify possible modes of failure.
