About the role
- As a Staff System Validation Engineer at Agility Robotics, you will be a hands-on technical contributor responsible for designing and executing comprehensive system-level verification and validation of our fully integrated humanoid robot.
- This role is ideal for a technically strong engineer with solid testing experience in complex electromechanical systems who is ready to take on meaningful ownership of the validation strategy in a fast-moving robotics environment.
- Extend validation coverage through simulation environments including regression testing at scale, rare failure modes, edge cases, and sim-to-real fidelity validation.
Responsibilities
- Develop and execute system-level V&V test plans for fully integrated humanoid robots, working with Systems Engineering to translate requirements into testable validation criteria with clear pass/fail metrics and traceability
- Design and execute end-to-end system validation tests across the fully integrated robot including full-body manipulation and locomotion, human-robot interaction, safety systems, environmental and operational scenarios.
- Support functional safety verification and validation activities ensuring compliance with ISO standards, including safety-critical function testing, fault injection, and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) or Performance Level (PL) verification
- Develop automated test scripts and contribute to test infrastructure including fixtures, instrumentation, and data acquisition systems to enable repeatable, scalable validation
- Prepare and present clear validation reports, test results, and risk assessments to engineering leads and stakeholders, contributing data-backed input to go/no-go decisions
- Hands-on experience using robot simulation environments to develop and execute test cases, generate synthetic test scenarios, and support regression testing at scale.
Requirements
- 10+ years of system-level verification and validation experience in robotics, autonomous systems, automotive, aerospace, or similar complex electromechanical systems
- Experience testing complex robotic or electromechanical systems including manipulation, locomotion, or similar multi-DOF systems
- Familiarity with safety-critical system validation and functional safety standards such as ISO 13849, IEC 61508, or ISO 26262
- Experience in fast-paced product development environments balancing rigor with speed
Nice to have
- BS or MS in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field
- Experience with one or more robotics simulation platforms such as NVIDIA Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Gazebo, or Webots.
- Exposure to functional safety certification processes (TÜV or similar)
- Experience contributing to or mentoring junior engineers on test methodology
- These ranges may be modified in the future.
- 401(k) Plan: Includes a 6% company match.
- Relocation Assistance: Provided for eligible roles.
- All of our roles are U.S.-based.
Skills
- Familiarity with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) or Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) testing
- Working knowledge of kinematics, dynamics, control systems, sensing, and actuation sufficient to effectively test and debug robotic systems
- Hands-on experience with test fixtures, instrumentation, and data acquisition systems
- Strong debugging skills across hardware-software integration issues in complex systems
- Test Infrastructure: Hands-on experience with test fixtures, instrumentation, and data acquisition systems
- Troubleshooting: Strong debugging skills across hardware-software integration issues in complex systems
- V&V Expertise:
- Robotics Fundamentals:
- Test Automation:
- Test Infrastructure:
- Troubleshooting:
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.
Company info
