Senior Safety Software Engineer

<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p></div><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Agility Robotics views safety not as a regulatory constraint, but as a fundamental commercial gateway that is absolutely required to move humanoid robots out of isolated work cells and into shared human environments. You can't build your robot and then make it safe - functional safety must be baked into the hardware, electrical systems, and software from day one.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>The Role</strong></span></h2> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">We are seeking a <strong>Senior Safety Software Engineer</strong> to play a critical role in implementing a functionally safe perception system. In this role, you will bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and functional safety principles. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and validate safety-critical software architecture. If you are passionate about building robust systems that push the boundaries of modern robotics and automation while maintaining uncompromising safety, we want you on our team.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Key Responsibilities</strong></span></h2> <ul> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Design & Develop:</strong> Design and implement robust, highly reliable software for safety-critical systems using both traditional functional safety techniques and emerging deep learning safety techniques.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Cross-Functional Collaboration:</strong> Partner with our machine learning, hardware, and core software teams to ensure that data pipelines, models, and middleware operate within defined safety envelopes.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>System Architecture:</strong> Develop and optimize software running on both Linux and real-time operating systems.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Testing & Validation:</strong> Create rigorous testing frameworks and validation strategies to prove system reliability and safety under edge-case scenarios.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Mentorship:</strong> Guide and mentor junior engineers on safety-critical coding standards and best practices.</span></li> </ul> <h2><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Minimum Qualifications</strong></span></h2> <ul> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer/Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>5+ years</strong> of professional software engineering experience, with a focus on systems level or embedded systems programming (C++, C, or Rust).</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Strong understanding of software architecture for embedded</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Exce
