<div class="content-intro">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.</div>About the Role We are looking for a Staff Robotics Software Engineer (Tech Lead) to lead the design and development of robot behaviors that expand and generalize our humanoid robot’s capabilities. In this role, you will own behavior design end-to-end, from high-level task logic and system design down to on-robot validation and deployment. You will work at the intersection of behavior planning, motion planning, object perception, and manipulation, developing new autonomy capabilities and pushing the robot into new classes of tasks. We are looking for a hands-on technical leader who can set technical direction and wants to stay close to the robot: writing code, running experiments, debugging logs, working with hardware, and mentoring other engineers by building alongside them. Key Responsibilities <ul> <li style="font-size: 10pt;">Own the design, implementation, and validation of complex humanoid robot behaviors.</li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;">Lead behavior planning and execution design, including task decomposition, control flow, recovery, and failure handling.</li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;">Build new autonomy capabilities that expand what the robot can reliably do in the real world.</li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;">Develop and evaluate manipulation strategies for new tasks, objects, workflows, and customer environments.</li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;">Integrate robot behaviors with motion planning, controls, object perception, estimation, and hardware systems.</li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;">Train, evaluate, and integrate learned policies into hybrid learned/classical execution workflows.</li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;">Integrate new end effectors, tools, sensors, and other hardware capabilities into the behavior stack.</li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;">Debug complex system-level failures using logs, replay, metrics, simulation, and on-robot experimentation.</li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;">Mentor engineers through design reviews, code reviews, debugging, and hands-on technical guidance.</li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;">Help set technical direction and best practices for building robust, composable, reusable, and generalizable robot behaviors.</li> </ul> About You <ul> <li style="font-size: 10pt;">B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Robotics, Computer Science, or a related engineering field.</li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;">8+ years of professional experience developing robotics software, autonomy s
