About the Role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer you are the front line leading Dexterity's robots into new opportunities. You will work to bridge any gaps between Dexterity's standard product and the particular challenges of new customer engagements or new market segments. Your mission is to bring new applications online in the field and demonstrate all the operational metrics necessary to rapidly unlock fleet-wide scaling at each new customer opportunity.

This role is ideal for engineers with a passion for developing robotic solutions that operate in the real world at scale. This role requires broad, systems level understanding of the full robotic tech stack, both software and hardware. You will be expected to do system level performance analysis and drive system level solutions through hands on engineering, partnering with other teams across Dexterity, third party partners and the customer.
