Description

Agility Robotics is a pioneer. Our robot, Digit, is the first to be sold into workplaces across the globe. Our team is differentiated by its expertise in imagining, engineering, and delivering robots with advanced mobility, dexterity, intelligence, and efficiency -- robots specifically designed to work alongside people, in spaces built for people. Every day, we break through engineering challenges and invent new solutions and capabilities that will one day make robots commonplace and approachable. This work is our passion and our responsibility: our mission is to make businesses more productive and people’s lives more fulfilling.

Responsibilities:

The Director of System Integration and Test Engineering will report to the VP of Hardware Engineering and will be responsible for leading the development of a robust Test and System Integration infrastructure for Agility Robotics engineering and manufacturing.  

The Director will be responsible for the creation of testing and integration systems methodology and layout to support Agility’s manufacturing, engineering, and innovation groups.

He/She will work closely with the leaders and key stakeholders of Electrical, Mechanical, Systems, Software, and Manufacturing teams to drive the system integration and bring-up of Agility Robotics systems as well as the delivery of test infrastructure, development and execution across the organization.

Develop and ensure robust oversight of integration and test systems workflows, assignments and work collaboratively to develop robust processes in integration and test engineering for collaboration within all disciplines.

Monitor integration and test infrastructure deliverables and project timelines and ensure the objectives are met.

Hire, develop, mentor and structure our team of test and integration engineers.  Identify and develop leaders within the team.

Promote and contribute to a safe, collaborative work environment.

 

About the role:

We are currently designing the next generation of Digit for commercial scale. The scale of the system and reliability that must be achieved are orders of magnitude higher than any existing bipedal platform, including our own, and the primary method that this will be achieved is by rigorous design and substantial testing. 

The system test and integration engineering team owns the processes and support structure around the system integration, bring-up, debug, support, and root cause analysis of issues, as well as the design and execution of test systems and infrastructure, and therefore will be a primary focal point of the definition, integration, and validation of the product. The Director of Systems Integration and Test Engineering will be responsible for creating the vision and leading the team creating the engineering and manufacturing integration and test infrastructure and control processes within Agility.

About The Work:

Lead and cultivate a team to ensure the development of Agility’s system integration and test automation infrastructures to support and exercise Agility’s robotic systems at the component and solution levels, both during product development and manufacturing.

Work with the team to develop and maintain a deep knowledge of all subsystems used in Agility’s products and calibration and test equipment.

Collaborate closely with leadership and key stakeholders in Systems, Hardware, and Software engineering to assist in translating system requirements and engineering specifications into integration and test specs, procedures, and systems.

Drive the successful integration, bring-up, and testing of Agility robotics systems throughout the product lifecycle

Collaborate closely with key stakeholders to support the debug and root cause analysis of issues discovered in engineering, manufacturing, and in the field.

Collaborate closely with our Quality teams to develop and maintain a robust root cause analysis and debug database that serves as a source of truth for quality data and issue resolution.

Negotiate test rigor and trade-offs with multiple stakeholders.

Collaborate closely with  cross-functional leaders and teams to drive innovative, elegant testing solutions that meet validate requirements.

Own hiring and performance reviews for test engineering group.

 

About you:

Minimum bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline

Minimum 10 years of relevant technical experience in test engineering

Minimum 5  years’ experience in leadership of test teams or similar test infrastructure teams.

Experience in a fast-paced startup environment.

Skilled in conflict resolution, contract negotiation

Experience with test management platforms and test framework tools and systems.

Hands on experience integrating test platforms/frameworks into third party manufacturing data collection/configuration systems.

Preferred to have:

Advanced degrees with professional engineering experience

Broad design experience relevant to robotics: embedded systems, high-speed signals, servo drives, Ethernet/EtherCAT, cameras, Lidar, IMU, CPU/GPU integration, etc.

Depending on experience and alignment with position requirements, a remote work configuration may be possible.  In that case, travel to Agility’s design facility on a regular basis would still be required.

Knowledge of relevant technologies which may include:

Mechatronics / Robotics

Mechanical and electrical interfaces

Communication protocols

Sensors, actuators, controllers

Kinematics of mechanisms

Vision and display systems

Understanding of structured product development (requirements-driven engineering, documentation, rigorous verification, etc.)

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
