# Robot Performance Engineer

- **Company:** Dexory
- **Location:** Didcot, UK
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Command-Line Interface, Linux, Connectivity Problems, Information Technology
- **Published:** October 27, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=53ce21c8ca1aebc7

## About the Role

* A technical degree in engineering, robotics, computer science or similar, or equivalent hands-on experience; robotics exposure welcome but not essential.
 * Linux and command-line confidence; willingness to learn ROS quickly.
 * A structured troubleshooting instinct: form a hypothesis, test it, discard it, move on.
 * Calm under operational pressure - robots fail at inconvenient times and people will be waiting.
 * Clear written communication - the playbook matters as much as the fix.

## Description

* Take robot issues from L1 and monitoring; triage, diagnose and resolve.
 * Work directly on robots: read logs, inspect ROS topics and services, interact with CAN, check and change configuration, disable sensors where safe, restart services; request a version rollback from V&V when a release is implicated.
 * Investigate connectivity problems, mapping and annotation issues, tower faults, and mission or deployment failures.
 * Know when to stop. Escalate to L3 or Engineering with a clean, evidenced handover - what you saw, what you tried, what you ruled out.
 * Write and maintain a playbook for every repeat issue you resolve, so the next person does not start from scratch.
 * Train and support L1, Deployment and Service so fewer issues need to reach you; keep the knowledge centre and post-release digest current.
 * Feed recurring problems to Fleet Reliability so they are fixed permanently rather than handled repeatedly.
