Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

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

  • This is a high-impact role for an engineer who wants to shape the safety of complex robotic systems from architecture through deployment, and to help set functional safety direction across the broader engineering organization, not just a single product line.
  • We don't think of Agility as only a robotics company.
  • We're proving out what it means to be a safety-of-robotics company, a robotics company and a software company in equal measure, and this team sits at the center of that identity.

Responsibilities

  • Depending on team needs and your strengths, this role may involve deep technical ownership of a specific safety domain, direct support for customer deployments, or helping represent Agility's safety approach in external technical settings.
  • Drive architecture-level safety decisions across current and next-generation robotic platforms, balancing real-world performance, technical risk, and compliance.
  • Help design and validate functional safety architecture for AI and ML enabled features, ensuring their behavior stays within defined safety limits.
  • Partner with engineering and safety leadership to shape functional safety strategy and priorities across the broader product portfolio, taking ownership of safety outcomes that span multiple teams and programs.
  • Create and maintain core safety deliverables: risk assessments, safety requirement specifications (SRS), FMEDA, SISTEMA analyses, validation plans, and safety cases.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to define, communicate, and validate safety-critical requirements for hardware, embedded software, and control systems.
  • Proven ability to coordinate across engineering teams to define, validate and test safety requirements.

Requirements

  • Familiarity with applicable safety standards for mobile and industrial robots, including ANSI/RIA R15.08 and the ISO 10218 series.
  • Hands-on experience with safety design and implementation for mobile, dynamic, or collaborative robotic systems.
  • Experience with safety analysis tools such as SISTEMA.
  • Experience with safety firmware implementation (fault handling, safe-state logic).

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.

Company info
