Job description

What the role actually is

Dexterity is hiring a forward deployed lead for a major customer program around Hagerstown, Maryland. The role owns the operational path from site readiness through installation, commissioning, training, handoff, and customer adoption.

It sits in product management but lives close to the floor. The person would coordinate customer operations, product, field engineering, services, support, and commercial teams so a Physical AI deployment becomes a repeatable operating model rather than a one-off install.

What you would work on

• Maintain the integrated execution plan for site readiness, commissioning, training, and handoff
• Coordinate customer operations, product, field engineering, services, support, and commercial teams
• Translate deployment plans into measurable operational outcomes
• Build customer trust during production rollout of warehouse robotics systems

What they are asking for

• Experience leading complex technical deployments or transformation programs
• Strong customer-facing leadership in operational environments
• Ability to connect site execution details to product and support readiness
• Comfort working onsite during deployment, commissioning, and handoff periods

Why this one is worth a look

This is one of the more practical Physical AI roles: the work is not naming the product from headquarters, it is proving the product can survive a specific customer site. That makes it useful for someone who wants the messy, high-signal edge between product, operations, and robotics deployment.
