Senior Electrical Engineer

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

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.
