Agility Robotics is seeking to build the future of bipedal robotics with Digit, a human-centric, multipurpose robot designed to work alongside people in real-world environments, and is looking for a hands-on engineering leader to manage a small team and contribute to the mechanical design of new prototype subsystems.
Requirements
- Expertise in electromechanical system design (e.g., mechanisms, actuators, structural systems, sensor integration)
- Expert-level proficiency in CAD (PTC Creo preferred), including mechanical drawings and GD&T
- Experience designing, prototyping, and testing complex mechanical subsystems
- Robotics or autonomous systems experience
- Creo surfacing and cable routing
- Windchill PLM, Jira, and Confluence experience
- Experience with test design and execution
Responsibilities
- Lead mechanical design of new prototype subsystems (e.g., novel actuators, transmissions, legs, arms, feet, BLDC motors, grippers, etc.)
- Own concept development, analysis, CAD (Creo), and prototype build/test cycles
- Conduct engineering calculations, FEA collaboration, and tolerance stack-up for proof-of-concept hardware
- Develop test protocols and root cause investigations for your subsystems
- Collaborate cross-functionally with software, controls, electrical, test, and manufacturing engineers
- Drive data-driven design and simplicity-first approaches
- Document work rigorously using tools like Jira, Confluence, and Windchill
Other
- B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering or related field
- 8+ years of mechanical design experience
- At least 3 years of technical leadership or people management experience
- Strong communication skills and ability to guide technical discussions
- Willingness to be on-site in Salem, OR at least 3 days/week
