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
Agility Robotics is seeking a Staff Robotics Architect - Electrical Hardware to drive the electrical architecture of our humanoid robotics platforms, reporting directly to the Principle Hardware Architect who acts as the Architecture Lead for existing and new products. In this technical leadership role, you will serve as the lead for electrical hardware architecture, partnering closely with engineers across systems, mechanical, electrical, software, perception, safety, and control teams as needed to define and evolve the architecture of our robotic systems.
You will be responsible for ensuring the integration of core electrical subsystems — ranging from sensing and compute to control, actuation, and safety—into cohesive, performant, reliable, and scalable systems for our humanoid robots. This role is ideal for a senior electrical or mechatronics engineer with a proven track record in robotic system design, control, and architecture, experience in actuated mobile robotics, ideally including humanoid or legged robotics, and strong data driven decision making.
About the Work
- Own the end-to-end robotics electrical system architecture, ensuring scalable, and reliable integration of perception, compute, actuation, control, and safety systems.
- Provide technical direction to other architects as well as across other teams, guiding the design of high-performance robotic subsystems.
- Lead trade studies and architecture reviews balancing performance, functional safety, complexity, manufacturability, cost, and reliability.
- Partner with cross functional teams including software controls and simulation teams to ensure architectural decisions are grounded in system-level modeling, simulation, and performance analysis.
- Collaborate closely with systems engineering, test, and integration teams to ensure architecture translates into testable, traceable requirements.
- Influence long-term roadmap and product direction by translating user needs, field performance, and R&D findings into architectural evolution.
About You
- 8+ years of experience in robotics hardware development, including at least 3 years leading electrical product development or as a lead engineer.
