About the role
- This role sits at the intersection of hardware and software.
- You'll be expected to work across both: running root cause failure analysis on a failed actuator or PCBA in the morning, then tracing a communication or network fault on a deployed system in the afternoon.
- You don't need to be a specialist in every area, but you do need a methodical approach to problems, a willingness to learn, and the ability to communicate your findings clearly to both engineering teams and customers.
Responsibilities
- Dexmate is building the foundation for physical AI - combining a new generation of robots with a universal Physical AI OS, making robots as easy to build and deploy as software.
- If you want to help shape the next layer of human capability - and believe the future of robotics should be built together, not in isolation - we'd love to build it with you.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Mechanical, Electrical, Software/Firmware, and Manufacturing teams to identify and implement corrective actions
- Write and maintain clear repair runbooks, failure analysis reports, and troubleshooting guides that other team members can follow
- Supervise and drive supplier failure analyses when issues trace back to vendor components
- Support bring-up and testing of new hardware revisions: verify power sequencing, communication interfaces, and peripheral behavior
Requirements
- Experience using bench tools: oscilloscope, multimeter, power supply, or logic analyzer
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, Materials Science, or a related technical field - or equivalent hands-on experience
- 2-5 years of experience in hardware failure analysis, field service, test engineering, or hardware debug, preferably in robotics, automotive, automation, or consumer electronics environments
- Real-world product development or failure analysis experience in at least two relevant areas such as PCBAs, battery cells/packs, harnesses/connectors, metals, plastics, or actuators/moving parts
Nice to have
- Experience with NVIDIA Jetson platforms or embedded Linux bring-up
- Experience with IP networking and Ethernet-based embedded systems
- PCB rework experience, including cable assembly and technically challenging rework
- Familiarity with PCB schematic or layout tools such as Altium
- Experience with mechanical CAD tools (e.g., CATIA, SolidWorks) for reviewing designs
- Experience with Instron or similar material testing systems
- Experience working with contract manufacturers or managing supplier quality
- Background in robotics, automation, or electromechanical systems
Skills
- Ability to read schematics and electrical block diagrams
- Some familiarity with serial communication protocols such as CAN, Ethernet, Ethercat, I²C, SPI, or UART
- Comfortable working in a Linux environment at the command line
Company info
- Our mission is to democratize robotics by lowering the barrier to entry, delivering a plug-and-play platform for developers, researchers, and enterprises, and cultivating an open ecosystem that accelerates the evolution of physical AI.
