Green-card intent detected
Agility Robotics Inc. obtained a prevailing wage determination for Architectural and Engineering Managers in Salem, OREGON on 2026-06-29. No matching green-card filing appears in our data yet. The determination expires in 20 days (2026-09-26), and a green-card filing must follow before then or the employer starts over.
Files H-1B transfers
16 transfer filings in the last year, covering 16 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role
- You'll help shape how Systems Engineering and Functional Safety integration is applied in a fast-moving startup, balancing the rigor of safety standards with the agility and pragmatism needed to ship products.
Responsibilities
- Requirements Management: Define system and subsystem architectures spanning all domains (mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software) with embedded functional safety, and drive trade studies to balance safety, performance, cost, and execution speed.
- V&V Definition: Define, own, and decompose detailed, verifiable requirements in Jama that can be delivered to Integration and Testing teams for Verification and Validation.
- Interface Definition: Lead development and maintenance of Interface Control Documents (ICDs), managing implementation-specific details for hardware and software interfaces, including message structures, pinouts, and bolt patterns.
- Operational Support and Technical Leadership
- Drive system-level verification of safety requirements through integration testing and track design differences between test setups and the intended design to determine technical risk.
Requirements
- Ensure that any modification to the system's hardware or software that impacts safety must be strictly validated to maintain safety integrity and prevent the introduction of new risks.
- 3+ years working on system safety or functional safety projects and use of functional safety standards such as ISO 13849, IEC 61508, ISO 26262, IEC 62061, or similar
- Change and Modification Management: Ensure that any modification to the system's hardware or software that impacts safety must be strictly validated to maintain safety integrity and prevent the introduction of new risks.
- 8+ years of Systems Engineering experience in safety-critical domains: robotics, aerospace, automotive, medical devices, or similar multidisciplinary hardware/software systems
- Demonstrated experience leading system-level integration, architecture, and requirement management efforts
- Previous experience in high-growth, fast-paced environments where self-direction and bias for action are essential
- Experience with safety-critical robotics or autonomous systems strongly preferred
- Technical Skills & Safety Expertise
- Understanding of safety lifecycle processes, hazard analysis (HARA, HAZOP, FTA, FMEA), safety integrity levels, and safety architecture principles
- Expert-level skills in authoring safety requirements, managing traceability, and defining cross-functional safety interfaces
- Strong familiarity with the V-model approach to safety-critical systems engineering, including how to adapt it for rapid development environments
- Proficiency in using safety analysis tools (e.g., ANSYS medini analyze, PTC Windchill FTA, ItemIS) and requirements management platforms (Jama, DOORS, Polarion).
- Ability to collaborate closely with Test Engineering to develop and execute system-level safety verification and validation strategies.
Nice to have
- Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
- Experience with collaborative or mobile robotics in industrial environments
- Background in AI/ML safety considerations for autonomous systems
- Experience mentoring junior engineers in safety-critical system development
- Knowledge of regulatory compliance processes for robotics in manufacturing environments
- These ranges may be modified in the future.
- 401(k) Plan: Includes a 6% company match.
- Relocation Assistance: Provided for eligible roles.
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.
Benefits
- Parental Leave: Generous paid parental leave programs.
- Annual Discretionary Bonus: Provided for eligible roles.
- Test Support: Align system requirements with test plans to ensure coverage across the entire safety system.
Visa & Work Authorization
- asis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, marital status, citizenship, national origin, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by law
