Job summary

Agility Robotics is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to lead system architecture and cross‑functional integration for our humanoid robot platform. You will own requirements, interfaces, and safety analyses, shaping how mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software domains come together to deliver reliable systems.

You will drive trade studies, maintain rigorous traceability, and support certification activities while collaborating with field teams to optimize performance and maintainability.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of Systems Engineering experience in robotics, aerospace, automotive, or similar multidisciplinary hardware/software systems.
• Proven track record leading system-level integration and architecture efforts.
• Experience in fast-paced environments requiring self-direction and bias for action.
• Experience integrating new software capabilities into autonomous systems.

Responsibilities

• Define and document system and subsystem architectures spanning mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software domains. Drive trade studies with focus on simplicity, performance, cost, and execution speed.
• Own software subsystem-level requirements through their full lifecycle—writing, decomposing, validating, and tracking execution. Maintain rigorous traceability while enabling development velocity.
• Ensure system designs meet industry standards and regulatory requirements. Facilitate functional safety analysis including hazard analysis, risk assessment, and safety case development. Drive compliance activities for certification, software development, and software deployment.
• Develop and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs). Anticipate and resolve integration issues early through proactive systems thinking.
• Identify and eliminate operational inefficiencies through systematic analysis of field performance data, customer workflows, and deployment scenarios. Implement design improvements that directly enhance system reliability, maintainability, and performance.
• Participate in design reviews, integration efforts, and root cause analysis. Identify risks, lead trade studies, and influence decisions from a systems perspective.
• Proactively analyze customer deployment scenarios, field feedback, and operational data to identify and solve system‑level issues before they impact production or customers.
