Agility's humanoid robots are deployed today in manufacturing, distribution, and logistics. Proven automation for industrial environments. Backed by SoftBank VF.
About the role
This role will be a hands-on Applications Mechanical Engineer/Designer who can take a customer use case concept and turn it into a physical reality captured in CAD with a detailed BOM and documentation. This person will help deploy the design in our test cells and possibly in a customer facility if needed. This is a “do” role. The person will design cell layouts, integrate an off-the-shelf scanner, and help the team troubleshoot fixtures as needed. The range matters more than depth in any single specialty.
What they're looking for
- Design customer workcell layouts — robot placement, material flow, operator access, safety zones, and integration with existing customer infrastructure
- Design and detail custom fixtures, carts, jigs, staging equipment, and material handling interfaces specific to each customer deployment
- Produce production-quality CAD models, detailed drawings, and BOMs suitable for fabrication, procurement, and field assembly
- Assist with customer site surveys to capture physical constraints: floor conditions, ceiling heights, dock configurations, utility access, material flow paths, and existing equipment interfaces
- Support cell setup and commissioning on-site — hands-on troubleshooting of mechanical fit, fixture alignment, and hardware integration issues
- Adopt and adapt end-of-arm tooling and gripper interfaces for customer-specific manipulation requirements — totes, cases, cartons, and structured items

About the Role
Agility Robotics deploys Digit — a humanoid robot — into customer warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing environments. Every customer deployment needs mechanical design work related to workcell layouts, custom fixtures and jigs and possibly additional safety guarding along with integration of off-the-shelf hardware components like barcode scanners and sensors.
