About The Role

We are currently designing the next generation of Digit for commercial scale. Highly reliable and robust designs are critical to successful deployment of our robots in large quantities. Digit works in demanding environments, performing highly repetitive and heavily loaded tasks. The Principal / Staff mechanical engineer will work closely with cross functional teams to understand the unique requirements for our products and play a key role in ensuring that we have robot designs that are robust and production-ready.

  • Create subsystem CAD and ensure quality
  • Lead cross‑functional design reviews
  • Drive the development of specifications, requirements, test methods and protocols through formal verification to ensure functionality, safety and efficacy of design

About you

  • Demonstrated experience in mechanism design, packaging, and knowledge of various types of motors, encoders, sensors, power transmission, and drive‑train‑related components such as gears, splines, lead screws, linear guides, harmonic drive actuators, etc.
  • 10+ years of mechanical design experience with 2+ years of robotics design
  • B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent, minimum requirement)
  • Proven experience designing and building mechanisms and assemblies, ideally with a background in robotics
  • Demonstrated experience in mechanical analysis including modeling tolerance stacks, static and dynamic analysis, FEA and thermal analysis
  • Skilled in conflict resolution and team development
  • Ability to be on-site at Agility’s design facility as needed (minimum 4 days per month and as needed to support design activities, reviews, prototype testing, etc.)
  • Preferred Skills and Experience

  • Robotics experience and leadership in a robotics organization
  • Advanced degree in engineering or science or robotics
  • Jira / Confluence experience
  • PLM and PDM experience
  • Creo experience
