Developer Advocate Engineer

Dexmate Inc.; Fremont, Northern (CA, KY); Hybrid; USD 130,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Dexmate Inc. is seeking an ML engineer to help AI/ML developers deploy models on robotic platforms. You will build sample projects, write tutorials, and own SDK documentation, turning research into practical deployments.

You will publish weekly technical content, answer developer questions, and publish integration guides. The role emphasizes delivering clear, reusable code and guiding engineers from signup to first impactful deployment.

Qualifications

• Fluent Python and real ML engineering experience, including training, inference, or MLOps.
• Interest in applying ML to physical AI and robotics.
• Proven track record of published technical content.
• Write clean, well-documented code engineers will reuse.
• 3+ years of ML engineering experience.
• Consistent content output schedule.

Responsibilities

• Build and publish sample projects showing AI/ML engineers how to train, fine-tune, and deploy models on the Dexmate platform.
• Write and publish weekly technical tutorials—architecture explainers and deployment guides for ML engineers new to physical AI.
• Own the SDK documentation for AI/ML workflows, including quickstart guides and API references.
• Answer developer questions daily in Discord and GitHub Discussions within 24 hours.
• Build reference integrations with foundation AI model providers and publish architecture guides.
• Speak at AI/ML conferences (3–4 times per year) such as NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, CoRL.
• Run live demos for developers, partners, and enterprise prospects.
• Surface model integration friction and missing platform capabilities to engineering weekly.

Job description

About Dexmate

Dexmate is building the foundation for physical AI — combining a new generation of robots with a universal Physical AI OS, making robots as easy to build and deploy as software. Today, robotics is fragmented, slow, and closed: most builders are forced to reinvent the same stack again and again, and most ideas never make it past the prototype stage. We exist to change that. Our mission is to democratize robotics by lowering the barrier to entry, delivering a plug-and-play platform for developers, researchers, and enterprises, and cultivating an open ecosystem that accelerates the evolution of physical AI.

If you want to help shape the next layer of human capability — and believe the future of robotics should be built together, not in isolation — we'd love to build it with you.

The Role

Many developers have never deployed a model that moves something in the physical world. The gap between "it works in training" and "it works on a robot" is enormous.

That's your job.

You will be the person who helps AI/ML developers understand what happens when their models leave the data center and run on a humanoid robot: latency constraints, sensor noise, sim-to-real transfer, on-device inference, closed-loop control, etc. You'll build the sample projects, write the tutorials, and create the content that makes Dexmate the platform serious AI engineers choose when they want to work on physical AI.

This is an engineering role first. You write code every week. The talks and tutorials come from building, not the other way around.

Responsibilities

• Build and publish sample projects that show AI/ML engineers how to train, fine-tune, and deploy models on the Dexmate platform.

• Write and publish technical tutorials weekly — step-by-step guides, architecture explainers, and deployment walkthroughs written for engineers who know ML but are new to physical AI.

• Own the SDK documentation for AI/ML workflows: quickstart guides, API reference, Python SDK samples, kept current within 48 hours of any platform change.

• Answer developer questions daily in Discord and GitHub Discussions — no question unanswered within 24 hours.

• Build reference integrations with foundation AI model providers and publish architecture guides for running their models on Dexmate robots.

• Speak at AI/ML conferences 3–4 times per year — NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, CoRL, and similar.

• Run live demos for developers, partners, and enterprise prospects.

• Surface model integration friction and missing platform capabilities to engineering weekly.

Minimum Qualifications

• You write Python fluently and have real ML engineering experience — model training, fine-tuning, inference optimization, or ML infrastructure. You've shipped models that ran in production.

• Curious about the physical world. You don't need a robotics background, but you find the question "what happens when this model controls a robot arm" genuinely interesting, not intimidating.

• You've published technical content that got traction — a GitHub repo people starred, a tutorial people bookmarked, a blog post that circulated in ML communities. Show us.

• You write code other engineers want to copy. Clean, documented, opinionated about the right way to do things.

• You can write a clear getting-started guide for a developer who just signed up and give a credible technical talk to a room of ML researchers. Same depth, different registers.

• 3+ years of ML engineering experience — model development, training infrastructure, inference, or MLOps

• You publish on a schedule. The failure mode this role avoids is someone who plans great content but never ships it.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with vision-language-action models or embodied AI research

• Hands-on sim-to-real transfer work

• Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Drake, or Genesis familiarity

• Existing technical blog, GitHub, or YouTube with real traction

• Open-source ML contributions

• Experience deploying models on edge or embedded hardware

If you've ever wanted to be the person who explains physical AI to the world — this is that job.
