About the role
- Agility Robotics is seeking a Staff HiL Software Infrastructure Engineer to join the Systems Engineering, Integration & Test (SEIT) team.
- You will be responsible for the core software infrastructure that powers our automated testing, including real-time simulation models, CI/CD pipelines, and hardware interface libraries.
Responsibilities
- Automation Framework Development: Design, implement, and scale test automation frameworks to support continuous firmware and software regression testing.
- CI/CD Pipeline Engineering: Build and manage automated pipelines using GitHub Actions to trigger firmware flashing and test execution on physical HiL runners.
- Real-Time Simulation Modeling: Develop high-fidelity RT models for motor, encoder, communication framework and sensor emulation to support sub-system and full-system HiL benches.
- Hardware Interface Libraries: Create and maintain robust software libraries for interfacing with industrial hardware protocols, including EtherCAT, CAN, SPI, I2C, SCPI-controlled power supplies, and PXI relay APIs.
- Infrastructure Management: Configure and maintain Linux-based workstations as GitHub Actions self-hosted runners, ensuring deterministic and traceable test environments.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Electrical Engineers and Firmware teams to define signal mapping, fault injection requirements, and sensor data simulation strategies.
Requirements
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in test engineering, design verification, or electrical validation
- Strong preference for experience in robotics, autonomous vehicles, aerospace, or other complex hardware systems
- Extensive experience in designing, implementing, and maintaining Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) systems, and deep familiarity with Verification & Validation (V&V) methodologies for complex robotic or embedded systems.
- Strong proficiency in Python for automation, scripting, and development, as well as MATLAB/Simulink for real-time model development.
- Proven experience with GitHub Actions and test automation framework in a hardware-focused environment.
- Experience with real-time simulation platforms such as dSpace (Labbox/SCALEXIO/ConfigurationDesk) or NI, and real-time operating systems like Linux RT.
- Applicants must have current authorization to work in the United States.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with Acontis and other EtherCAT simulation
- Proven experience in Linux system administration and Docker for containerized test environments.
- Experience with one or more robotics simulation platforms such as NVIDIA Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Gazebo, or Webots.
- Experience with programmable power supplies, electronic loads, and PXI-based switching hardware.
- Experience in a high-growth startup or New Product Introduction (NPI) environment, specifically bridging the gap between R&D prototypes and production hardening.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or a related field (Master's preferred)
- These ranges may be modified in the future.
- 401(k) Plan: Includes a 6% company match.
Compensation
- The final salary offered to a successful candidate will be dependent on several factors that may include but are not limited to: job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
