Mechanical Engineer

Agility’s commercially deployed humanoids operate alongside teams in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers—tackling physically demanding and repetitive tasks while enabling workers to focus on higher-value work. With industry-leading safety standards and years of proven deployment data, we’re pioneering a new era of automation that enhances human potential.

Our mechanical engineering team is growing rapidly and we are looking for a talented and motivated mechanical engineer to join us in the San Francisco Bay Area office. We are responsible for delivering advanced and reliable robot designs that meet a complex set of requirements. We develop new technologies, engineer new products and maintain existing designs. The team is composed of engineers from many backgrounds and levels of experience.

The Staff Mechanical Engineer will work closely with other mechanical engineers and cross‑functional teams to develop and scale the next generation Digit. This role will own multiple mechanical and electro‑mechanical subsystems and will be responsible for the design, prototyping, and DFx. The Staff Mechanical Engineer is expected to mentor and nurture younger engineers in the team.

• Own the design of electromechanical components and subsystems.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (electrical, industrial design, software, test, and manufacturing) to define requirements and develop design concepts.
• Perform engineering analyses to validate design decisions, including supporting structural and thermal analyses.
• Present and participate in cross‑functional design reviews.
• Support root cause investigations and implement improvements.
• Contribute to the development and documentation of mechanical engineering processes.
• Track progress and document design work using Jira and Confluence.
• Deliver quality results within established schedules, budgets, and priorities.
• Create and maintain comprehensive design documentation.
• Mentor and support the development of junior engineers.
• This is a hybrid role required to be in the office 3 days a week in our Fremont office in the San Francisco Bay Area.
• Travel requirement (25% travel to Robot Factory in Salem, Oregon)

• Demonstrated experience in mechanism design, electronics packaging, and knowledge of various types of motors, encoders, sensors, power transmission, and drive‑train‑related components such as gears, splines, lead screws, linear guides, harmonic drive actuators, etc.
• 8–12 years of mechanical design experience.
• B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering
• Proven experience designing and building mechanisms and assemblies, preferably in robotics
• Demonstrated experience in mechanical analysis including modeling tolerance stacks, static and dynamic analysis, FEA and thermal analysis
• Creo and Windchill experience

• Actuator design or selection experience
• Advanced degree in mechatronics or robotics
