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\nAgility Robotics is scaling production of Digit over the coming years. Reliable, repeatable calibration of every robot -- across perception sensors and kinematics -- is foundational to that scale. The Sr. Staff Software Engineer - Calibration is responsible for Agility's calibration capability end to end.\nThis is a player-coach role. The successful candidate will personally design, build, and deliver the calibration systems used in production, leveraging existing vendors, components, and systems. The candidate will also identify and develop other engineers contributing to calibration work, and will help shape the long-term technical direction of calibration at Agility.\nThe role demands strong conceptual depth combined with pragmatic, tried-and-true implementation. Calibration at Agility is a practical engineering discipline grounded in real-world production environments. The successful candidate will operate with broad technical autonomy, set the bar for calibration accuracy and repeatability, and produce outputs that flow into downstream manufacturing processes. Cross-functional overlap with sensor vendors, contract manufacturers, and internal hardware, controls, and perception teams is inherent to the role.\nAbout The Work\nDesign, implement, and deliver calibration systems end to end, including algorithms, fixtures, on-fixture software, data pipelines, validation, and operator workflow.\nOwn calibration across perception sensors (RGB cameras, LiDAR, thermal imagers, and other modalities) and kinematic calibration of the robot, including joint approaches that couple sensor extrinsics with arm and whole-body kinematics.\nEstablish the data and metrics infrastructure underpinning calibration, including per-unit records, accuracy and drift metrics, traceability, and fleet-level monitoring.\nOwn the delivery of calibration fixture software, including operator-facing applications on Linux.\nOwn the delivery of in-field self-check and recalibration capabilities to maintain calibration validity through Digit's service life.\nDefine the requirements that calibration outputs place on downstream manufacturing processes, including cycle time, repeatability, data capture, and operator workflow.\nCoordinate with sensor vendors and contract manufacturers on the deployment of calibration processes at their facilities, including process documentation, operator training, and acceptance criteria.\nIdentify, hire, mentor, and develop other engineers contributing to calibration work.\nAbout You\n10+ years of practical experience calibrating complex robotic or sensor-rich systems in real production environments.\nTrack record of designing and delivering calibration systems end to end, including algorithms, fixtures, on-fixture software, validation, and operator workflow.\nDeep expertise across multiple sensor modalities (RGB cameras, LiDAR, thermal imagers, IMUs, encoders, etc), with working command of kinematic calibration and the coupling of sensor extrinsics to kinematics.\nDemonstrated understanding of what production calibration requires: repeatability, data collection, simplicity, and throughput.\nExperience building the data and metrics infrastructure that supports calibration at scale.\nStrong programming skills in C++ and Python.\nPlayer-coach orientation: capable of executing the technical work directly, while also identifying and developing the talent that contributes to it.\nEffective collaboration across multiple stakeholders, including hardware, controls, perception, sensor vendors, and contract manufacturers.\nHands-on engineering practice, comfortable in the lab and on the production floor.\nBonus Points\nOwned calibration end to end at an autonomous vehicle company, mobile robotics company (humanoid, quadruped, or other dynamically stable robot), or other hardware organization deploying sensor-rich systems at scale.\nExperience with in-field calibration validation and recalibration on deployed fleets.\nBackground in metrology, optical alignment, or geometric computer vision.\nBuilt the data infrastructure side of production calibration, including traceability databases, per-unit calibration history, and fleet-wide monitoring.\nThis is a fully remote role with the option to work hybrid if a commutable distance from our Salem, OR, Pittsburgh, PA, or Fremont, CA offices.\nThe final salary offered to a successful candidate will be dependent on several factors that may include but are not limited to: market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. This range may change based on geographical location and may be modified in the future.\nAnticipated Base Salary Range\n$218,000—$340,000 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.
