What the job involves
- We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to join Dexterity’s Hardware Product team. In this role, you will collaborate closely with a world-class cross-functional engineering team and be instrumental in the design, integration, and testing of electrical systems that power our next-generation super-humanoid robot
- You will contribute to product development at various stages, from early design concepts to production-ready hardware, and gain exposure to the full lifecycle of hardware engineering
- Own the architecture and design of electrical systems for robotic automation products, ensuring reliability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness
- Own components selection and their integration into the design, ensuring safe and optimal functionality
- Design for signal integrity, minimize noise interference and establish effective grounding practices to maintain system performance and reliability
- Utilize advanced eCAD tools to meticulously create and review electrical schematics, ensuring alignment with product requirements, mechanical considerations, and adherence to electrical safety standards
- Create wiring configurations and harness designs for reliable electrical performance, ease of assembly, and serviceability
- Write and maintain design documentation that clearly communicates design considerations and trade-offs
- Support the initial product installations at customer facilities, including troubleshooting and training
- Collaborate with the Mechanical engineering counterparts to ensure seamless integration of electrical modules/PCBAs and harnesses into the product CAD designs
- Collaborate with Hardware Test engineers to develop and execute robust testing plans to verify the functionality and performance of electrical systems, analyzing test results to drive continuous improvement
- Collaborate with Manufacturing engineers (internal/external) to ensure accuracy in BOM, define and oversee assembly and testing processes, and troubleshoot any electrical system issues to unblock manufacturing
- Engage in cross-functional collaboration with Mechatronics engineers to facilitate the development and integration of drivers essential for operation and communication within the robotics solutions
- Work with design partners or ODMs to jointly develop next-generation HW components to optimize the performance and cost of our products
Our take
Dexterity emerged from stealth at an opportune, albeit tough, time in 2020, just as an accelerating labour crunch drove major demand for automated solutions in factories and warehouses. The company managed a major fundraise and immediately moved on to bigger and better things: expanding into the Japanese market, partnering with supply chain automation leader Dematic and achieving unicorn status with a greater than $1 billion valuation.
Unlike other companies which are fixated on developing increasingly sophisticated, more human-like robots, Dexterity takes a comparatively simple hardware approach. Its machines take care of highly repetitive tasks, while its SaaS platform shares everything it learns with each robot, amplifying intelligence across the fleet. Rather than seeking to replace human workforces it aims to augment them, freeing skilled workers for more complex tasks.
Considering that the worldwide labour shortage is heavily impacting the industrial sector, Dexterity is in a promising position to continue its upward trajectory over the next few years. Indeed, its recent partnerships with Sumitomo to supply 1,500 Dexterity robots in their warehouses and with FedEx for autonomous trailer loading are encouraging signs of things to come for the company.
