AI overview

Develop low-level C++ software for humanoid robots, collaborating with cross-functional teams to enhance the system's robustness and safety through innovative engineering solutions.

Agility Robotics is a pioneer. Our robot, Digit, is the first to be sold into workplaces across the globe. Our team is differentiated by its expertise in imagining, engineering, and delivering robots with advanced mobility, dexterity, intelligence, and efficiency -- robots specifically designed to work alongside people, in spaces built for people. Every day, we break through engineering challenges and invent new solutions and capabilities that will one day make robots commonplace and approachable. This work is our passion and our responsibility: our mission is to make businesses more productive and people’s lives more fulfilling.

About The Role

Agility Robotics is building the future of work through humanoid robots that operate in human environments. In this position you will be developing the low-level software that powers our state-of-the art humanoid robots, constantly improving the robustness, diagnostics, and safety of our system. You will also be on the front-line of robot development, building up brand-new prototypes and working with highly cross-functional teams to transform piles of parts into functional, testable systems.

Location: This hybrid role is based out of our San Francisco Bay Area (CA), Salem (OR), or Pittsburgh (PA) offices.
