Staff Electrical Engineer
Agility RoboticsAgility 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
We are currently designing the next generation of Digit in order to address customer needs at commercial scale. Engineers in this role help drive the robot architecture, as well as design and develop robust and reliable electronics for this robot generation. You will collaborate with a multi- discipline team of engineers to understand the unique requirements for our products and play a key role in ensuring that we have robot designs that are robust and production-ready. This position can be based either within commuting distance of our Salem, OR headquarters or remotely on the West Coast, with a preference for candidates in the San Francisco Bay Area. For remote candidates, regular travel to Salem, typically 1-2 weeks per month, will be required.
