Additional Information

At Dexory, we build, deploy, and operate autonomous robots that transform logistics and warehouse operations. In just six months, we went from the first CAD model to a deployed robot at a customer site in May 2023. Two years later, we've built and deployed over 150 robots, grown from a team of 10 to more than 250 people, and continue to scale at startup speed. Our ambition now is to scale our robotics and autonomy stack to hundreds, soon thousands, of robots operating in dynamic, real-world environments. As a Robotics Engineer at Dexory, you'll help us make that possible: designing systems that can be deployed every two weeks to our global fleet, with zero manual customisation. The challenge is immense: how do you build a scalable, reliable robotics core that powers a rapidly growing Robot-as-a-Service platform? If solving that at speed excites you, you'll feel right at home here. When you apply, provide a few sentences why you think you're the right person for this role. *We value the right attitude, humility and we're as interested in your character as we are in your talent. Please apply, even if you feel you only meet part of our listed criteria. Diversity drives innovation and we offer an international and friendly work environment with an energetic company culture. What does this role involve? Developing and maintaining autonomy software for real-world robotic systems Working with ROS 2, using modern C++ (17/20), and Python Developing and maintaining our lidar odometry Developing and maintaining our lidar-based SLAM approaches (we need a few) Collaborating with deployment teams to support complex field operations Occasionally travel for hands-on deployment support
