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. About the Role We are seeking an experienced Senior Staff Manufacturing Design Engineer to lead the design and manufacturability of high-performance, precision components used in our cutting-edge humanoid robotics systems. In this role, you will be instrumental in driving New Product Introduction (NPI), Design for Manufacturability (DFM), and cross-functional collaboration from early concept to production. As a senior staff technical contributor, you’ll work with cross-disciplinary teams—including mechanical, electrical, controls, and manufacturing engineering—to ensure our robots meet world-class standards in quality, cost, reliability, and scalability. You’ll help architect the mechanical backbone of Digit and shape how it comes to life in production. About the Work • Drive Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and for Assembly (DFA) throughout the product lifecycle—from R&D through prototyping, validation, and scalable production. • Apply GD&T (ASME Y14.5) to high-precision, tolerance-critical robotic components and ensure alignment with design intent and manufacturing feasibility. • Collaborate with internal teams and external suppliers to validate component designs, optimize manufacturing processes, and reduce cost and lead times. • Create and manage CAD models and detailed engineering drawings using Creo to support current and new products and fixtures. • Solid understanding of change management, use of item attributes, engineering changes, engineering and manufacturing bills of material, material dispositions, and effectivity, and implementation. • Guide prototype builds and design reviews, ensuring engineering rigor and cross-functional alignment. • Support tooling and fixture development for repeatable, high-yield manufacturing. • Mentor junior engineers and promote engineering best practices across the design and manufacturing teams. • Continuously improve documentation, design processes, and design standards to support scalability and production excellence. About You • 15+ years of experience in mechanical design and manufacturing engineering experience in robotics, aerospace, semiconductor or medical equipment , or other complex electromechanical systems. • Proven expertise in DFM, DFA and critical tolerance analysis for precision mechanical systems and components. • Strong background in designing for assembly, inspection, and automation in high-mix, low-to-medium volume production environments. • Proficient in CAD tools (ie: Creo 5.0), GD&T and tolerance stack up analysis. • Strong understanding of mechanical inspection tools and processes (ie: CMM, micrometer, bore gauges, profile testers, optical inspection, etc.). • Experience using PLM software, bonus points for experience using WindChill. • Excellent problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills. • Strong knowledge of actuation systems, robotic kinematics, sensors, and cable management is a plus. • Experience working across teams including Design, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Production, Quality, Test, Systems Engineering, and Program Management. • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field, or a minimum of 15+ years relevant design experience.
