Agility Robotics is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to integrate perception models into real-world robotic applications, aiming to build robust world representations for robot workflows and improve the performance of the perception stack on their robot, Digit.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience integrating perception models in real-world robotic applications
• Strong experience writing production-quality Python code
• Hands-on experience working with point clouds, RGBD cameras, and depth sensing in applied robotics contexts.
• Experience with perception libraries (OpenCV, Open3D, PCL, ROS perception, NumPy, scikit-image)
• Solid understanding of spatial reasoning (homogeneous transforms, TF trees, etc)
• Demonstrated ability to apply perception model outputs (detection, segmentation, pose estimation) in manipulation pipelines
• Experience with structured 3D estimation (plane fitting, normal estimation, voxel maps, etc)

Responsibilities

• Develop robust perception algorithms and applications that leverage existing perception models and structure in the robot task (e.g., stacks, pallets, conveyors, flowracks) to improve robustness and simplify estimation
• Define and maintain reusable APIs that allow the task planner and skills layer to interact with a library of perception skills
• Integrate perception functions with other robot skills like manipulation behaviors using state machines, behavior trees, and task planners
• Manage datasets and run experiments to validate perception skills across diverse task conditions and variations
• Create modular interfaces for field engineers to tune perception skills within your validated specs without requiring software redeployment
• Contribute to defining our overall perception strategy within the skills layer, including library structure, abstraction layers, and tooling
• Own the performance of the perception stack on the robot, working hands-on with real hardware and validating your work in production workflows

Other

• BS or MS in Robotics or related field
• You’re pragmatic: you know when to use task structure and prior knowledge to get the job done reliably
• You love solving hard perception problems, but your real passion is seeing those solutions work on a robot in the real world and having an impact
• You’re excited to work on hardware
• You enjoy debugging, testing, and iterating quickly in simulation and on the real robot
