Sponsors, but it's cap-subject — you still face the weighted lottery (~45% per draw at Level III). Good if you win; have a cap-exempt backup on your list.

About the role
- Agility Robotics deploys Digit - a humanoid robot - into customer warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing environments.
- This role will be a hands-on Applications Mechanical Engineer/Designer who can take a customer use case concept and turn it into a physical reality captured in CAD with a detailed BOM and documentation.
- The range matters more than depth in any single specialty.
Responsibilities
- This person will help deploy the design in our test cells and possibly in a customer facility if needed.
- The person will design cell layouts, integrate an off-the-shelf scanner, and help the team troubleshoot fixtures as needed.
- Design customer workcell layouts - robot placement, material flow, operator access, safety zones, and integration with existing customer infrastructure.
- Design and detail custom fixtures, carts, jigs, staging equipment, and material handling interfaces specific to each customer deployment.
- Test and integrate off-the-shelf hardware components that have been vetted by the product design engineering team - barcode scanners, 2D code readers, sensors, light curtains, mounting hardware - into deployment configurations.
- Collaborate with other team members on deployment configurations - translating mechanical design into robot programming parameters.
- Build a library of reusable designs - standard cell layouts, common fixture patterns, proven hardware integration approaches - that accelerate future deployments.
- 5+ years in mechanical design, applications engineering, or a designer/drafter role with increasing responsibility demonstrated by a portfolio of deployed designs.
- Willingness to travel up to 20% of the time for customer site surveys, deployment support, and commissioning.
Requirements
- Applicants must have current authorization to work in the United States.
- Proficiency producing detailed drawings and BOMs in 3D CAD (SolidWorks, Creo, or equivalent).
- Experience with gripper design, end-of-arm tooling, or manipulation system interfaces.
Nice to have
- Background in applications engineering at a robotics or automation company - designing solutions for customer environments - ideally environments where robots work alongside people.
Skills
- Hands-on capability to pick up tools, help assemble a fixture, troubleshoot a fit issue, and work alongside field technicians as/if needed.
Compensation
- The final salary offered to a successful candidate will be dependent on several factors that may include but are not limited to: market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
Benefits
- Parental Leave: Generous paid parental leave programs.
