Agility's humanoid robots are deployed today in manufacturing, distribution, and logistics. Proven automation for industrial environments. Backed by SoftBank VF.
About the role
We are seeking an experienced Field Failure Analysis Engineer to lead deep-dive technical investigations into electromechanical, hardware, and system-level field failures across deployed Digit fleets. In this role, you bridge field operations, customer deployments, and engineering design teams to rapidly contain field escapes, definitively identify physics-of-failure mechanisms, and drive closed-loop corrective actions (CAPA) back into manufacturing and next-generation architecture. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Experience with Linux environments, ROS, CAN/EtherCAT protocol analyzers, and cloud-based time-series data visualization (e.g., Grafana, Datadog, or custom fleet dashboards)
- Working knowledge of functional safety considerations (ISO 13849, IEC 62061) in industrial automation or mobile robotics
- Proven background managing third-party destructive/non-destructive testing labs (SEM, EDX, X-ray/CT scan)
- ASQ certification (CQE, CRE) or Lean Six Sigma Green/Black Belt
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.
