About DexterityAt 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 worldwide. Dexterity's full-stack robotics systems pick, move, pack, and collaborate with human-like skill, awareness, and learning capabilities. Our systems are software-driven and 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! About The RoleTo meet growing demands from the Japanese market, especially from the top Japanese logistics companies, we are now looking for a new engineer who could manage ongoing and upcoming projects in Japan. The projects are expected to be complex and dynamic, involving external and internal stakeholders from customers to system integrators to Dexterity’s core engineering teams in the US. You will play a critical role in coordinating successful product development and deployment at scale. As a Robotics Software Engineer, you will be developing software to enable real time control, low latency vision systems, optimal planners, and much more. You will be designing & integrating features to improve robotics systems in production such as grasp handling, real time decision making from external sensors, and novel robotic behaviors for Dexterity’s robotics applications. You will develop introspection, unit tests, and debugging tools to understand the behavior of your software, and deploy it in the field.
Responsibilities (including but not limited to)
Work closely with Dexterity HQ’s engineering teams to develop products/systems to meet the requirements of Japanese customers
