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 Agility Robotics:
Agility Robotics is revolutionizing the way robots interact with the world. Our flagship humanoid robot, Digit, is the first to be sold for deployment in human environments at scale. We are a team of visionary engineers and scientists passionate about building robots that move, adapt, and work alongside people in real-world settings. Agility is committed to creating breakthrough technologies in mobility, dexterity, and human-robot collaboration that make work safer, more productive, and more fulfilling.
About the Role:
The Senior Staff Manufacturing Systems Engineer is a senior individual contributor and senior technical lead within Operations Engineering. Reporting to the Director of Operations Engineering, this role leads the design and implementation of manufacturing system architecture - ensuring that production, test, and automation systems are built to requirements and designed for scalability, quality, and operational efficiency.
As a leading technical expert in manufacturing systems integration, this role provides cross-functional technical leadership across Manufacturing Engineering, Test Engineering, NPI, Automation, and IT/Software teams, while staying hands-on with the floor issues that block production. This role shapes how complex robotic and mechatronic products are built, tested, and scaled from prototype to high-volume production.
Key Responsibilities:
Manufacturing Systems Architecture & Strategy
  • Define and maintain the end-to-end Manufacturing Systems Architecture, spanning factory automation, data flow, MES systems, ERP integration, test infrastructure, and traceability frameworks.
  • Partner with the Director of Operations Engineering to establish long-term strategies for smart factory enablement, digital manufacturing, and system interoperability.
  • Translate business and operational goals into scalable manufacturing system requirements and roadmaps.
  • Project Management: Manages manufacturing schedules, budgets, and risk assessments for leadership.

Systems Integration & Design Leadership
  • Lead cross-functional integration of mechanical, electrical, software, and automation subsystems into cohesive manufacturing solutions.
  • Architect interfaces between production equipment, test systems, MES, PLM, and ERP platforms - including active support of the current ERP migration (Micus to NetSuite), ensuring quality, non-conformance, and traceability data flow correctly into the new system.
  • Oversee technical reviews, design validation, and readiness assessments for new manufacturing system deployments.
  • System Integration: Connects factory floor equipment with global supply chains and digital platforms.

Operational Readiness & Scalability
  • Drive system-level readiness for new product introductions (NPI), ensuring manufacturing systems support ramp readiness and high first-pass yield.
  • Work directly with the NPI Manufacturing Engineering team on active build issues - e.g., subsystem (actuator, torso, leg) build bottlenecks, work-instruction and redline backlogs, and DFMEA/traceability gaps - providing systems-level solutions, not just architectural guidance.
  • Collaborate with Manufacturing, Quality, and Test Engineering to optimize workflows, eliminate bottlenecks, and standardize processes.
  • Champion manufacturability and maintainability through design-to-build principles and lifecycle systems thinking.

Technical Leadership & Mentorship
  • Serve as a senior technical resource and advisor for manufacturing system design and integration decisions.
