With industry-leading safety standards and years of proven deployment data, we're pioneering a new era of automation that enhances human potential.\nAbout the Role\nWe are looking for a hands-on Robotics Software Engineer to join our Skills team, focused on developing, testing, validating, and integrating robot skills into real customer workflows. In this role, you will operate at the boundary between prototype and production, working directly with our humanoid robot to evaluate performance, root-cause failures, and improve behaviors. You will be hands-on with hardware nearly every day, helping bring new customer workflows online and ensuring existing deployments remain reliable. You will define test plans, execute experiments, and validate that our behaviors meet autonomy and performance requirements.\nKey Responsibilities\nDevelop Behaviors for Humanoid Robots & Integrate into Workflows\nDevelop and maintain the core library of production-ready skills that form the foundation of customer workflows.\nScript new skills using behavior trees, state machines, or task planners, defining control flow logic and behavior sequencing.\nDeploy classical as well as modern robotics paradigms to implement robot skills to complete a variety of tasks in target domains\nBuild and maintain workflows using the robot’s skill API.\nPrototype new skills and customer use cases to assess their feasibility.\nTesting, Validation & Deployment\nDefine what “production-ready” means for each skill or workflow and design the test plans and infrastructure to validate it.\nRecreate corner cases from logs and failures into repeatable tests.\nValidate new skills and workflows both in simulation and on hardware before release.\nTravel occasionally (<10%) to customer sites to assist in deployment, perform hands-on validation, and support tuning efforts.\nAbout You\n2+ years of relevant experience, including research-level and industry experience, preferably applied to mobile manipulation robots \nYou have a B.S. or M.S. in Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field.\nYou are proficient in Python and write clean code.\nYou have experience with Linux systems.\nYou are excited about developing physical robot behaviors, not just running simulations. You enjoy getting your hands dirty, iterating on hardware, and watching your work come to life in the field.\nYou are curious about how autonomous robots work end-to-end, from low-level control to high-level task planning, and want to help bridge the gap between behavior design and real-world deployment.\nYou have a strong sense of ownership and pride in the reliability of your work. You sweat the details and are always looking to eliminate failure modes.\nBonus Qualifications\nPrior experience scripting robot behaviors using state machines, behavior trees, or other control flow logic.\nUnderstanding of robot manipulation, motion planning, and kinematics (e.g., familiarity with MoveIt framework).\nExposure to test-driven development, automated regression testing, and CI/CD workflows.\nExperience operating autonomous robots in customer environments or real-world deployments.\nLocation\nThis an onsite (minimum 4 days per week) position based out of one of our Salem, OR office.\nThe 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.\nAnticipated Base Salary Range\n$114,000—$148,000 USD\nIn addition to base pay, our competitive total rewards package consists of the following for full-time employees:\n 401(k) Plan: Includes a 6% company match.\nEquity: Company stock options.\nInsurance Coverage: 100% company-paid medical, dental, vision, and short/long-term disability insurance for employees.\nBenefit Start Date: Eligible for benefits on your first day of employment.\n Well-Being Support: Employee Assistance Program (EAP).\nTime Off:Exempt Employees: Flexible, unlimited PTO and 12 company holidays, including a winter shutdown.\nNon-Exempt Employees: 10 vacation days, paid sick leave, and 12 company holidays, including a winter shutdown, annually.\n\nOn-Site Perks: Catered lunches four times a week and a variety of healthy snacks and refreshments at our Salem and Pittsburgh locations.\nParental Leave: Generous paid parental leave programs.\nWork Environment: A culture that supports flexible work arrangements.\nGrowth Opportunities: Professional development and tuition reimbursement programs.\nRelocation Assistance: Provided for eligible roles.\nAnnual Discretionary Bonus: Provided for eligible roles.\nAll of our roles are U.S.-based. Applicants must have current authorization to work in the United States.\nAgility Robotics is committed to a work environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity.
