# Senior Robotics Engineer, Dexterous Manipulation

Why Analog, and why now Analog builds robots that work in the real world, deployed in Abu Dhabi. Our robots are already out in clinics and outdoors. They are getting good at moving through the world. The next step is getting them to do things with their hands. The robot comes with dexterous, multi-finger hands already built, plus a set of cameras and touch sensors in the wrists to guide grasping. What's missing is the person who makes those hands actually useful: picking things up, handling them, and recovering when it goes wrong. If you've shipped that on real hardware, this is a rare chance to own it from day one at a 77-person company, in one city, with a team that's here because they want to be. Ana, our neural agent, is also meant to get a robotic body someday, and manipulation is a big part of how she'll get there. What we're looking for, and why Someone who has taken dexterous manipulation out of simulation and onto real robots. Grasping in simulation and grasping in real life are still far apart, and the only way to close that gap is hands-on experience. You've done that on multi-finger hands. We want depth in one hard problem, not a bit of everything. That's what takes us
