About Agility Robotics

Agility's humanoid robots are deployed today in manufacturing, distribution, and logistics. Proven automation for industrial environments. Backed by SoftBank VF.

About the role

As a Senior Staff Data Scientist, you'll define how we use data to build better robots and make better decisions. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role where you'll set the technical direction for analytics and modeling while helping build a truly data-driven engineering organization.

What they're looking for

  • Root-cause & anomaly detection tooling . Build detection and RCA tooling that surfaces anomalies in fleet behavior early and helps engineers get from symptom to cause faster
  • Beyond the original charter, you may also help shape:
  • Data quality & instrumentation strategy — partnering with embedded/software teams to define what gets logged and at what fidelity, so the data needed for these models exists in the first place
  • Demand/capacity & deployment economics — models that inform fleet sizing, spares/inventory, and the economics of new site rollouts
  • Safety statistics
  • 10+ years applying data science / statistical modeling to real-world problems, with a track record of owning ambiguous, high-impact problems end to end
More about this role

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

Agility Robotics builds Digit, a humanoid robot deployed into real warehouses and factories under a Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) model. Every hour Digit operates generates telemetry, logs, sensor streams, and maintenance events — and turning that into reliability, unit economics, and product decisions is the job.

As a Senior Staff Data Scientist, you'll define how we use data to build better robots and make better decisions. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role where you'll set the technical direction for analytics and modeling while helping build a truly data-driven engineering organization.

In this newly created role, you'll transform massive volumes of complex robot data into the insights and models that drive decisions across hardware, software, manufacturing, and operations....
