About the Role
You will join as a Controls Engineer within Dexterity’s Product Engineering Team, contributing to the development of embedded systems that power our robotic platforms. This role sits at the intersection of hardware, software, firmware, motion control, and system-level integration. You will collaborate closely with electrical, mechanical and software engineers to help bring robots from prototype to production and support the architecture for motion, safety, and communications. The ideal candidate brings strong mechatronics fundamentals, hands-on controls experience, and a system-level understanding of embedded hardware and software integration in the context of robotics.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop and maintain embedded software and firmware solutions for rover control systems, motion controllers, and safety subsystems.
  • Design, implement, and tune motion‑control systems and associated hardware and software interfaces in our mobile robotic platforms.
  • Debug complex electromechanical systems, analyze hardware‑software interaction, power systems, communications, and perform system diagnostics.
  • Bridge hardware and software teams, supporting embedded software, industrial controller logic, and ensure smooth integration between hardware and software.
  • Define and execute commissioning processes: factory bring‑up of embedded systems, field deployment procedures, and over‑the‑air update architectures.
  • Support product development lifecycle from early prototypes through production and scaling, with attention to reliability, performance, safety, and regulatory compliance.
  • Document system architectures, control algorithms, communications protocols, and troubleshooting results, collaborating across disciplines to ensure clarity and alignment.
  • Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related discipline.
  • Minimum of 3 years of professional experience in controls engineering, embedded systems, mechatronics, or a related field.
  • Strong fundamentals in electrical and mechanical engineering applied to robotics and motion systems.
  • Hands-on experience with motion control systems, feedback loops, servo drives, motors, and associated hardware.
  • Proficiency in embedded software development and familiarity with industrial controller environments.
  • Familiarity with communications protocols commonly used in mechatronics and robotic systems (EtherCAT, CAN bus, etc.).
  • Capability to debug system‑level issues spanning hardware, firmware, and control logic 
  • Ability to read electrical schematics and mechanical drawings and able to engage with electrical and mechanical subsystem teams in depth.
  • Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with functional safety, and safety‑critical systems.
  • Prior work on autonomous mobile robots, warehouse automation, or large‑scale robotic deployments.
  • Familiarity with over‑the‑air software update systems, remote diagnostics, field‑deployed robotic systems, and firmware in deployed hardware.
  • Experience with commissioning, manufacturing bring-up, system testing, production scaling, or test‑fixture development.
  • Knowledge of motion‑related software stacks, distributed real‑time systems, and industrial system architecture.
  • Familiarity with robotic kinematics, and control algorithms used in mobile or manipulator robotics


  • We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
