Job summary

Agility Robotics is scaling production of Digit. The Sr. Staff Software Engineer - Calibration will design, build, and deliver calibration systems used in production, leveraging vendors, components, and existing systems.

This is a player-coach role, with responsibility to personally contribute while guiding others. The role requires cross-functional collaboration with hardware, controls, perception, sensor vendors, and contract manufacturers to ensure calibration accuracy.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of practical experience calibrating complex robotic or sensor-rich systems in real production environments.
• Design and deliver calibration systems end to end, including algorithms, fixtures, on-fixture software, validation, and operator workflow.
• Strong programming skills in C++ and Python.
• Experience building the data and metrics infrastructure that supports calibration at scale.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and deliver calibration systems end to end, including algorithms, fixtures, on-fixture software, data pipelines, validation, and operator workflow.
• Own calibration across perception sensors and kinematic calibration of the robot.
• Establish the data and metrics infrastructure underpinning calibration, including per-unit records, accuracy and drift metrics, traceability, and fleet-level monitoring.
• Own the delivery of calibration fixture software, including operator-facing applications on Linux.
• Own the delivery of in-field self-check and recalibration capabilities to maintain calibration validity through Digit's service life.
• Define the requirements that calibration outputs place on downstream manufacturing processes, including cycle time, repeatability, data capture, and operator workflow.
• Coordinate with sensor vendors and contract manufacturers on the deployment of calibration processes at their facilities, including process documentation, operator training, and acceptance criteria.
