About the role

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 an engineer with deep Rust expertise and strong algorithmic fundamentals to work on performance-critical systems. You'll build the low-level infrastructure that powers real-time robotic perception, planning, and control. Core

Responsibilities Design and implement high-performance systems components in Rust. Build and optimize data structures, algorithms, and computational pipelines for real-time robotics workloads. Own performance-critical paths across the platform, from sensor processing to motion planning. Contribute to the design of safe, concurrent systems that run reliably on embedded and edge hardware. Collaborate with robotics and infrastructure teams to deliver integrated, production-quality solutions. What We Look For Strong Rust experience in production environments. Deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and computational complexity. Experience with systems programming -- memory management, concurrency, real-time constraints. Ability to reason about performance at the hardware level (cache behavior, SIMD, memory layout). Track record of shipping reliable, well-tested systems code. Preferred

Qualifications Contributions to notable Rust open-source projects. Experience with robotics, real-time systems, or embedded platforms. Background in competitive programming or algorithmic problem-solving.

About Dimensional

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:

  • $30M raised — making Dimensional one of the best-capitalized software robotics startups in the space
  • Open source — the entire platform is available on GitHub, attracting a mission-driven engineering community
  • Hardware distribution partnerships — Dimensional is the distributor for two of the largest robotics hardware OEMs in the world, giving them unique go-to-market leverage
  • Second-time founder — CEO Stosh previously dropped out of MIT and co-founded Mock Industries, now valued at $1.8B after raising $500M
  • Early and lean — ~10 people in the SF office, almost entirely engineers and the founder. Product-focused, flat structure, high ownership

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.
