About Dexmate
Dexmate builds robots and a physical AI operating system for them. Its robotics data collection operators wear Dexmate's exoskeleton so that their own movements control robot arms, repeating picking, placing, sorting and assembly tasks to produce the training data its models learn from. The open role on November 4, 2026 is an on-site contract at its Singapore lab, with hours and length set by each data collection campaign; a Fremont, California version of the role closed in October.

Is Dexmate a good place to work?
Researched October 2026 · 21 sourcesMostly. Dexmate is a real robot maker (founded 2024, $41 million raised) that hires robot operators on contracts tied to its data collection campaigns, but no worker has reviewed the job on Glassdoor or Indeed. The operator jobs are contracts: hours last only while a data collection campaign runs, and its Fremont post (October 2026) was 1099 with no benefits listed, so you pay your own payroll taxes. No worker has described the job publicly. It pays $20 to $30/hr in checked postings (stated by the employer).
Actively listing 2 open roles todayDexmate Inc. (Delaware, 2024) is run by CEO Tao Chen (MIT PhD) and co-founders Yuzhe Qin and Chongyang Wang.

We found no documented scams using Dexmate's name and no fraud warning from it. Its real openings are on jobs.ashbyhq.com/dexmate, linked from dexmate.com, and its business email ends in dexmate.ai. The FTC says job offers by text, WhatsApp or Telegram, or any request that you pay, are scams.
What people praise
- Its Fremont operator posting, read October 11, 2026, stated its pay before you applied: $20 to $30 an hour for teleoperating robot arms through Dexmate's own wearable exoskeleton. (no longer open)
- No degree or robotics background is required: its Singapore operator posting asks for hand-eye coordination, attention to detail and reliability, with VR, gaming or teleoperation experience a plus.
- Dexmate is funded for its age: an SEC filing shows it sold $41 million of stock to 29 investors in a round that began in February 2026.
What people complain about
- The Fremont operator role read in October 2026 was a 1099 contract, not employment: hours and length followed data collection campaigns, and the posting listed no benefits, so work could stop when a campaign ended. (no longer open)
- The Singapore operator posting (September 10, 2026) states no pay, hours or contract length, only that hours and duration follow data collection campaigns.
- The work is repetitive by design: the Singapore posting has you repeat set picking, placing, sorting and assembly tasks for high-volume data, staying focused for extended periods.
- Glassdoor lists Dexmate but shows no reviews as of October 11, 2026, so there is no independent account of pay, managers or how long operator contracts last.
Best for: People in or near Singapore (or Fremont, California, when it posts operator work there) with steady hands and patience for repetitive tasks, who want hands-on robot work without a degree and can live on contract hours. Not for: Anyone who needs benefits, a steady schedule or a permanent job, wants remote work, or wants to read worker reviews before applying.
Honest catches
- Pay here is stated by the employer, not measured live from a job feed, so treat it as a benchmark rather than a guaranteed rate.
