Job Description:

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.

Job Responsibility:

  • 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

Requirements:

  • Solid understanding of LiDAR-based SLAM algorithms (e.g., Cartographer, LOAM, LIO-SAM, HDL Graph SLAM, etc.)
  • Experience with pose graph optimization, scan matching, and sensor fusion
  • Familiarity with Open3D or PCL for point cloud processing
  • Understanding of state estimation frameworks (e.g., EKF, UKF, graph-based methods, or factor graphs)
  • Evidence of past work: open-source contributions, competition results, or deployed systems
  • Experience integrating 3D and 2D LiDARs (Ouster, Velodyne, Hesai, Livox, SICK, etc.)
  • Knowledge of calibration (LiDAR–IMU, LiDAR–camera, LiDAR–robot base)
  • Understanding of sensor synchronization, timestamp alignment, and coordinate transformations
  • Ability to design and validate sensor placement for optimal coverage and robustness
  • Solid experience with ROS 2, C++, and Python
  • Familiarity with Linux, Git, CI/CD, and containerisation
  • Willingness to travel for hands-on deployment (when needed)
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills

Nice to have:

  • Expertise in design robotic software at scale
  • Experience with Lidar-based segmentation, or other perception pipelines
  • Contributions to open-source robotics projects
  • Participation in competitions like RoboCup, Formula Student AI, or DARPA challenges
What we offer:
  • Private healthcare via Bupa with 24/7 medical helpline
  • Life insurance
  • Income protection
  • Pension: 4+% employee with option to opt into salary exchange, 5% employer
  • Employee Assistance Programme - mental wellbeing, financial and legal advice/support
  • 25 holidays per year
  • Full meals onsite in Wallingford
  • Fun team events on and offsite, snacks of all kinds in the office
