Job summary

Agility Robotics is seeking a Staff Robot Architect - Dynamic Simulation Specialist to shape early architecture for humanoid platforms. You will lead high-fidelity simulation projects, drive system models, and guide cross-disciplinary teams across software, controls, and hardware.

This senior role requires extensive experience in dynamic simulation, digital twins, and AI techniques, with a track record delivering robotic systems from concept to deployment in a collaborative, fast-paced

Qualifications

• 8+ years experience in dynamic simulation of platforms to drive product development.
• 5+ years experience with simulation system, process, and tools development.
• 3+ years robot system/architecture development.
• Deep understanding of robotic system design and Component Simulation and Digital Twin with OS in loop.
• Proven experience in supporting the delivery of complex robotic systems into field or commercial deployment from the ideation phase through production.
• Strong foundations in Software Engineering, robot kinematics, dynamics, controls, and system modeling.
• Experience with simulation tools such as MuJoCo, Gazebo, or equivalent, and integrating simulation into system design and validation workflows.
• Experience with AI and reinforcement learning techniques applied to robotics learning and control.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end robot Dynamic Simulation analysis for early robot architecture, ensuring scalable, and reliable data to inform and validate technical direction in the new product architecture and product definition efforts.
• Provide technical direction to other architects as well as across other teams, guiding the design of high-performance robotic subsystems.
• Lead trade studies and architecture reviews for both simulation tools and analysis results to balancing performance, functional safety, complexity, manufacturability, cost, and reliability in all future innovation.
• Partner with cross functional teams including software, controls, and simulation teams to ensure architectural decisions are grounded in system-level modeling, simulation, and performance analysis.
• Collaborate closely with software, systems engineering, test, and integration teams to ensure simulation translates into testable, traceable requirements.
• Influence long-term roadmap and product direction by translating user needs, field performance, and R&D findings into architectural evolution.
