Autonomous robots are core to Dexory’s product offering. We design, build, and test in-house at our HQ in Wallingford. Now we’re hiring a Box Build Technician to join Electronics Production. You’ll build mission‑critical electro‑mechanical systems. This is a results focussed role: quality, speed, and ownership are the fundamentals. You own your cell, your tools, your output and the standard of work. If a fast‑changing environment and minimal supervision make you uneasy, this isn’t your role.

The job is on‑site in Wallingford with occasional customer visits (a full UK driving licence is ideal). We run tight comms loops, daily reviews and fast feedback. You don’t walk past problems, you own and fix them. If something’s unclear, you propose and implement the fix today, not “sometime next sprint.”

Team over ego: you mentor and share knowledge, pair on tricky rework and make everybody faster. We love what we are building, we build to spec and we ship these incredible robots globally.
