Robotics Engineer/Mechatronics

We're not just building robots-we're reshaping the future of work. Our vision is simple but bold: unleash the power of robotics to free people from repetitive, physically taxing tasks, so they can focus on what humans do best-creative problem-solving, collaboration, and innovation.

We're on the front lines of the robotics revolution, and warehouse automation is just the beginning. Our cutting-edge, software-driven systems pick, move, pack, and collaborate with human-like skill and awareness-and they're already delivering real impact, with over 15 million items picked in live production environments. Every system we deploy is guided by a relentless focus on empowering our customers to achieve more than they imagined possible.

Backed by world-class investors like Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Obvious Ventures, Dexterity is one of the fastest-growing robotics companies on the planet. We're a tight-knit, multidisciplinary team fueled by trust, passion, and dedication-and we're just getting started.

What You'll Do: Build Robots That Think, Move, and Work Like Humans

As a Robotics Engineer, you'll be at the core of bringing our intelligent robots to life. This is a hands-on role where you'll design, prototype, and iterate complex mechatronic systems that seamlessly integrate hardware, software, and human interaction.

You won't be working on theoretical concepts-you'll be building real-world solutions deployed globally. From motors and pneumatics to control panels and embedded software, you'll be engineering every detail to make our robots smarter, faster, and more reliable.

What You'll Own:

• Design & Prototype: Create scalable, robust electro-mechanical systems across our entire robot stack using tools like SolidWorks, KiCAD, FEA, and AutoCAD.
• Control Systems: Design and integrate PLC-based control panels, safety systems, power electronics, sensors, and actuators, adhering to global standards (IPC, FCC, UL, CE).
• Testing & Debugging: Validate performance, identify bugs, and optimize system health using lab instruments (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, logic analyzers).
• Embedded Development: Work with C/C++ and Python to monitor and refine system performance.
• Documentation & BOM Management: Write clear, detailed documentation to guide manufacturing, testing, and maintenance.
• Reliability & Safety: Perform FMEA analysis to identify and mitigate potential failure modes at every stage-design, production, deployment.
• Project Ownership: Contribute to product lifecycle management using tools like Jira and Arena, ensuring quality and scalability.
• Global Collaboration: Travel up to 25% worldwide (U.S., Canada, India, Taiwan, Japan, Mexico) to support deployments, customer needs, and manufacturing partners.

What You Bring to the Table:

• Degree: Bachelor's in Mechanical, Electrical, or Mechatronics Engineering (or equivalent).
• Experience: 2+ years of hands-on experience in Mechatronics, Robotics, Automation, or related fields.
• Technical Mastery:
  • Electro-mechanical systems design & rapid prototyping (SolidWorks, 3D printing, machining).
  • Industrial automation (PLCs, motor drives, sensors, actuators, safety modules).
  • Controls concepts (PID tuning, bode plots, etc.).
  • Embedded programming in C/C++ & Python.
  • Familiarity with lab test instruments and debugging tools.
  • Process documentation, assembly instructions, and FMEA analysis.
