From the posting

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 is building the world's most capable humanoid robots, and we're looking for a senior engineer to help build the simulation software at the foundation of it. You'll be one of the first engineers on a new Simulation team, working alongside the team's leader to shape its technical direction, architecture, and infrastructure from the ground up.

You'll work at the intersection of physics simulation, hardware abstraction, and robot learning, partnering closely with our AI, Controls, Perception Sensors, Hardware Interfaces, Quality Assurance, and Systems Integration teams to build simulation environments that accelerate development, provide insights into the system, and enable rapid validation.

This role is hybrid (3 days on-site per week at one of our offices).
