We're looking for a Forward-Deployed Engineer to work directly at the intersection of customers, software, and physical robotic systems. This role is about closing the last 10%: taking cutting-edge robotics software and making it work reliably in real-world environments. You'll partner closely with end users to understand their workflows, deploy systems in the wild, and translate real-world constraints into product and engineering improvements.
Dimensional is building the operating system for general-purpose robotics — the foundational software layer that sits between robot hardware and AI models, enabling robots to perceive, reason, learn, and act across diverse real-world environments.
Think of Dimensional as what Windows was to the personal computer. Before Windows, computers ran on fragmented DOS-based interfaces that weren't built for people to build on or use. Dimensional is doing the same for robotics: creating a unified, developer-first platform that enables software engineers, roboticists, and hobbyists to deploy and operate robots without stitching together 10 fragmented open-source tools.
The platform provides a modular, composable architecture for training and deploying robotic intelligence at scale. By abstracting hardware differences and standardizing core capabilities — perception, spatial understanding, navigation, decision-making, and control — Dimensional allows developers and partners to build, transfer, and operate robotic skills efficiently across platforms and embodiments.
Key highlights:
Dimensional is actively deploying across verticals including security, agriculture, and data centers, with a rapidly scaling commercial go-to-market motion backed by forward-deployed engineers working directly with customers on real-world robotic deployments.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
