Member of Technical Staff – Robotics (Manipulation or Navigation)
TLDR
Own end-to-end manipulation or navigation systems, applying strong theoretical grounding to deploy robotics from lab to production across arms, mobile, and legged platforms.
About Dimensional
Dimensional is building the foundation for physical intelligence in general-purpose robotics. We develop a unified framework that enables robots to perceive, reason, learn, and act across diverse real-world environments and embodiments. Dimensional’s mission is to make physical intelligence programmable, scalable, and accessible -- accelerating the development of generalist robots that can adapt, learn, and perform reliably in the real world.
Our platform sits between robot hardware and AI models, providing a modular, composable architecture for training and deploying robotic intelligence at scale. By abstracting hardware differences and standardizing core capabilities—such as perception, spatial understanding, decision-making, and control—Dimensional allows developers and partners to build, transfer, and operate robotic skills efficiently across platforms.
About This Role
We’re looking for full-stack roboticists to own either manipulation or navigation systems end to end. These roles require strong theoretical grounding combined with real-world deployment experience. You’ll be working on robotic arms, mobile robots, and/or legged systems, helping take advanced robotics capabilities from lab-quality to production-ready.
Core Responsibilities
Design and implement robotic manipulation and/or navigation systems.
Deploy and operate robotic systems on real-world hardware.
Work across perception, planning, control, and end-to-end software integration.
Debug, iterate, and improve real-world robotic behavior in production environments.
Collaborate closely with software and infrastructure teams to deliver robust, integrated systems.
What We Look For
Relevant industrial or research experience in SLAM, Motion Planning, Controls.
Experience deploying robotics systems. Field Robotics or Systems Engineering is highly regarded and prioritized.
Comfort working across the full robotics stack, from perception and planning through control and system integration.
Preferred Qualifications
Educational background from leading robotics or computer science programs (e.g., MIT, CMU, Penn, Caltech, or equivalent institutions).
Industry experience working with robotic arms, mobile robots, quadrupeds, or similar robotic platforms.
Demonstrated experience transitioning robotic systems from prototype or research stages into production environments.
Dimensional Inc. is developing a unified framework that enables general-purpose robots to perceive, reason, learn, and act effectively in diverse environments. Our platform serves as a bridge between robot hardware and AI models, providing a modular architecture for scalable training and deployment of robotic intelligence. By standardizing foundational capabilities like perception and decision-making, we empower developers to efficiently build and operate adaptable robotic skills across various platforms.
