About the role

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
  • <
