Agility’s commercially deployed humanoids operate alongside teams in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers—tackling physically demanding and repetitive tasks while enabling workers to focus on higher-value work. With industry-leading safety standards and years of proven deployment data, we're pioneering a new era of automation that enhances human potential.
About The Role
This role will influence the design of the next generation of Digit, aimed at meeting customer needs at a commercial scale. The Senior Engineer will help drive the robot design and will develop robust and reliable electronics for this and future robot generations. Collaboration with a multi-disciplinary team of engineers is essential to understand product requirements and ensure designs are robust, safe, and production-ready.
About The Work
The Senior Electrical Engineer's responsibilities include:
- Implementing Printed Circuit Board schematics and implementing and/or overseeing PCB layout to create PCB engineering deliverables for release.
- Estimating duration of work efforts to contribute to project schedules
- Identifying, selecting, and qualifying components; generating new parts & symbols.
- Creating engineering verification checklists, executing verification, and documenting results.
- Executing design and release checklists and presenting your design at cross-functional design reviews.
- Executing rapid prototyping and bring-up of electrical systems at the board level.
- Implementing design for emissions, test, manufacturing, and assembly test.
- Participating in debugging efforts and root cause analysis for hardware and software defects within Engineering, Systems, and Operations
- Managing _________ ambiguity - (capable of filling in the blanks)
About You
Candidates should possess the following qualifications:
- A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent).
- 7 or more years of electrical design experience
- Deep experience with Altium for component generation and schematic entry
- Experience managing inside and outside PCB layout designers, including written layout briefs.
- Experience in embedded controls, high-speed differential signaling, microcontrollers, memory buses, digital design, and power electronics (switching power supplies)
- 3D visualization capabilities to imagine and optimize space constrained circuitry in challenging mechanical and thermal environments
Candidates should thrive in a highly dynamic environment with rapidly evolving requirements, tight schedules, and enjoy building collaborative relationships on a daily basis.
Bonus Points
Candidates with more of the following will be more highly regarded:
- An advanced degree with robotics experience
- Technical knowledge and hands-on experience with one or more of:
- High-capacity Li batteries and BMS implementations
- DC-DC conversion (switching power supplies, standard and LDO linear regulators)
- Sensor fusion (Lidar, radar, cameras, etc.)
- RF SOM and antenna design
- Flex circuit design
- Cable harness design (esp. Altium Harness experience)
- Analog design, especially sensing and instrumentation (sensors, op-amps & A/Ds)
- Motors and motor control, particularly BLDC motors
- Multidisciplinary debugging techniques operable in the engineering lab or factory floor
- Adjacent engineering disciplines (PCB layout, firmware, mechanical, test)
- Project management experience (especially using Jira)
- Altium super-user for schematics or layout
- A strong understanding of structured product development (including requirements-driven engineering, comprehensive documentation, and rigorous verification)
Location
- This a hybrid position based out of our Fremont office. Candidates should anticipate regular travel to Salem, Oregon, averaging one week per month over a year, with bursts of extended stays in Salem during critical project phases.
The final salary offered to a successful candidate will be dependent on several factors that may include but are not limited to: job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Agility Robotics is a multi-state employer and this salary range may not reflect positions who work in other locations. These ranges may be modified in the future.
