Senior Robotics Software Engineer, Manipulation
Agility Robotics
Agility Robotics is a pioneer. Our robot, Digit, is the first to be sold into workplaces across the globe. Our team is differentiated by its expertise in imagining, engineering, and delivering robots with advanced mobility, dexterity, intelligence, and efficiency -- robots specifically designed to work alongside people, in spaces built for people. Every day, we break through engineering challenges and invent new solutions and capabilities that will one day make robots commonplace and approachable. This work is our passion and our responsibility: our mission is to make businesses more productive and people’s lives more fulfilling.
About The Role
Our software team is growing and we are looking for a talented engineer to join our agile, world-class team. In this role you will develop manipulation behaviors for humanoid robots to interact with the world around it. You will work closely with state estimation, navigation, and controls teams to execute behaviors aimed at solving challenging problems in real-world deployments.
About The Work
- Design, implement, test, and deploy autonomous behaviors for humanoid robots
- Prototype autonomous behaviors in simulation and execute on robot hardware
- Develop algorithms robust to environmental uncertainty and imperfect state estimation
- Implement performance tests for evaluating the reliability of robot behaviors
- Contribute to the software architecture and design of the autonomy stack
- Collaborate with members of the autonomy teams to solve complex cross functional problems
- Engineer high quality software that is well tested, reliable and maintainable
About You
- Industry experience deploying mobile manipulation robots in real world applications
- Experience developing manipulation algorithms on high-DOF robots
- Familiarity with behavior trees, finite state machines, or similar behavior management and execution systems
- Experience with perception and scene understanding especially as it pertains to manipulation
- Strong robotics fundamentals, including kinematics, dynamics, sensing, and control
- Experience using simulation tools such as Isaac Sim / Mojoco / Drake / gazebo or similar
- Experience with automated testing for simulation
- Strong debugging skills; the ability to identify and diagnose complex issues that arise within robotics
- MS or Ph.D. in robotics, computer science, or related field or have equivalent industry experience
- Strong software experience in modern C++ and Python
