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

Our software team is growing and we are looking for a talented engineer to join our agile, world-class team. In this role you will develop manipulation behaviors for humanoid robots to interact with the world around it. You will work closely with state estimation, navigation, and controls teams to execute behaviors aimed at solving challenging problems in real-world deployments.

About The Work

Design, implement, test, and deploy autonomous behaviors for humanoid robots
Prototype autonomous behaviors in simulation and execute on robot hardware
Develop algorithms robust to environmental uncertainty and imperfect state estimation
Implement performance tests for evaluating the reliability of robot behaviors
Contribute to the software architecture and design of the autonomy stack
Collaborate with members of the autonomy teams to solve complex cross functional problems
Engineer high quality software that is well tested, reliable and maintainable

About You

Industry experience deploying mobile manipulation robots in real world applications
Experience developing manipulation algorithms on high-DOF robots
Familiarity with behavior trees, finite state machines, or similar behavior management and execution systems
Experience with perception and scene understanding especially as it pertains to manipulation
Strong robotics fundamentals, including kinematics, dynamics, sensing, and control
Experience using simulation tools such as Isaac Sim / Mojoco / Drake / gazebo or similar
Experience with automated testing for simulation
Strong debugging skills; the ability to identify and diagnose complex issues that arise within robotics

MS or Ph.D. in robotics, computer science, or related field or have equivalent industry experience
Strong software experience in modern C++ and Python
Exposure to standard agile and software development processes including issue tracking tools (Jira), feature branching, version control (git), continuous integration and deployment
Authorization to work in the USA
