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\nOur software team is growing and we are looking for an experienced robotics engineer to own how we assess the health of Digit. You will build the self-diagnostics, calibration, and fleet health tools that tell our manufacturing, test, service, and deployment teams whether a robot is ready to work - and why it isn't. You will root-cause hardware and performance issues on prototype and production robots, turn what you learn into automated checks, and feed the results back to teams across the organization. Your work will directly enable our ability to scale up the world's first production humanoid robot fleet and revolutionize the labor market.\nAbout The Work\nDevelop a deep understanding of Digit's hardware through active participation in the bring up of prototype hardware and integration of new sensors.\nExtend Digit's self-diagnostics suite: automated checks of actuators, sensors, and limbs (e.g., actuator efficiency and health, leg stiffness, IMU and force/torque sensor checks) that determine whether a robot is fit to run a workflow.\nLead root cause analysis on robots from prototype builds, the factory, and customer sites: isolate failures to subsystems, reproduce them with the Systems Test & Validation team, and drive corrective actions with hardware teams and suppliers.\nTurn RCA findings into new checks and pass/fail criteria, and validate that check results predict real robot performance.\nDevelop and maintain calibration routines, including camera-based kinematic calibration of arms and legs, that run reliably in manufacturing and service.\nBuild fleet health observability: define what robots log, get results into our data pipelines, and maintain dashboards and reports that track hardware health across the fleet over time.\nBuild tools that non-engineers can use, such as operator-facing GUIs and reports for manufacturing, service, and solutions teams.\nAbout You\nBS, MS, or PhD in robotics, mechanical, electrical, or computer engineering, computer science, or a related field.\n4+ years of industry experience developing software for physical robots or comparable electromechanical systems, with substantial hands-on hardware debugging.\nProven track record of root cause analysis on complex electromechanical systems: separating software, controls, and hardware faults using logs, telemetry, and targeted experiments.\nSolid working knowledge of actuators (motors, transmissions, encoders) and robot sensors (IMUs, force/torque sensors, cameras), and how they fail.\nStrong Python and C++, with experience building diagnostic or test tools used by other teams.\nData-driven: experience analyzing high-rate robot logs and fleet telemetry, using SQL and dashboards.\nClear communicator who can turn noisy data into structured reports and procedures for engineering, manufacturing, and service partners.\nFamiliarity with Jira, Git, and CI/CD workflows.\nNice To Have\nState estimation or controls background, especially on legged robots.\nRobot calibration (kinematic, camera-to-robot extrinsics) or system identification.\nComputer vision or ML applied to calibration.\nThis a on-site position based out of one of our Salem office.\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$144,000—$225,000 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.
