What does a Robotics Engineer do?

A Robotics Engineer designs, builds, and tests robots and robotic systems that are able to perform tasks typically done by humans. They work on integrating hardware and software to create machines that can automate processes in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics. Their responsibilities often include researching new technologies, programming robotic systems, troubleshooting issues, and collaborating with other engineers. Robotics Engineers play a key role in advancing automation and improving efficiency and safety in various sectors.

What Does a Robotics Engineer Do?

A robotics engineer designs and often builds robots from their plans and ensures the correct processes are in place for the robot to run properly. They work with their clients to determine costs and design specifications, then they design software systems to control robotic systems; build, configure, and test robots; and automate processes to increase production and precision. Once the robotic system is in place, the robotics engineer helps troubleshoot any problems the clients have with the system.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Robotics Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Robotics Engineer, you need a strong background in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science, typically backed by a relevant bachelor's or master's degree. Familiarity with programming languages like Python or C++, CAD software, and robotics platforms such as ROS (Robot Operating System) is essential. Problem-solving skills, creativity, and effective teamwork are standout soft skills in this field. These competencies are crucial for designing, building, and refining innovative robotic systems that meet complex technical and user requirements.

What types of projects do Robotics Engineers typically collaborate on with cross-functional teams?

Robotics Engineers often work closely with professionals from software development, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering to design, build, and test robotic systems. Projects can range from automating manufacturing processes to developing autonomous vehicles or medical robots. Collaboration is essential, as engineers must integrate hardware and software components while ensuring systems meet safety and performance standards. Effective communication and teamwork are key to successfully bringing innovative robotics solutions from concept to reality.

What is the difference between Robotics Engineer vs Mechanical Engineer?

AspectRobotics EngineerMechanical Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's in Robotics, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering or related field; certifications in robotics or automationBachelor's in Mechanical Engineering; Professional Engineer (PE) license optional
Work EnvironmentDesigning, testing, and programming robotic systems in labs or manufacturing settingsDesigning and analyzing mechanical systems in various industries, including manufacturing, automotive, aerospace
Industry UsageRobotics companies, automation firms, manufacturingManufacturing, automotive, aerospace, product design

Robotics Engineers focus on designing and developing robotic systems, combining knowledge of mechanical, electrical, and software engineering. Mechanical Engineers have a broader scope, working on mechanical systems across multiple industries. While both roles require engineering degrees, Robotics Engineers often need specialized skills in programming and automation. The choice depends on your interest in robotics and automation versus general mechanical system design.

Job description

Agility's commercially deployed humanoids operate alongside teams in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centersโ€”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

Join the team building the data backbone for fleet-scale humanoid robotics. As a Software Engineer III on our Data Platform team, you will implement and scale the infrastructure required to ingest, process, and synchronize massive datasets from our robots. You will focus on the technical challenges of handling multimodal log dataโ€”ensuring that high-frequency sensor data, video feeds, and telemetry are perfectly aligned for playback and ML training.

Key Responsibilities
  • Data Ingestion: Design and implement scalable data pipelines for ingesting and processing telemetry, logs and sensor data from our fleet of robots and associated cloud software
  • Multimodal Data Integration: Develop systems to handle complex multimodal logs, ensuring precise synchronization between video, audio, IMU, and joint-state data for downstream analysis and robot "black box" reconstruction/playback.
  • Edge Data Agents: Contribute to the development of data ingestion agents running on-robot to manage high-volume data throughput in variable connectivity environments.
  • Data Optimization: Implement and optimize data formats (e.g., MCAP, Parquet) specifically tuned for the storage and rapid querying of rich multimodal robotics recordings.
  • Observability systems: Develop and maintain observability systems using tools like fluentbit, OpenTelemetry etc enabling real-time monitoring and analytics of fleet operations.
  • Distributed Processing: Use Spark, Kafka, or Flink to transform raw robot data into structured datasets ready for business intelligence and long-horizon fleet analytics.
  • Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with AI and Hardware teams to ensure data tools meet the needs of those training the next generation of humanoid models.
  • Cloud Platform: Build and optimize tools for internal stakeholders for business intelligence and long-horizon fleet analytics and forecasting using existing tools like AWS S3, Athena, Sagemaker etc.
Required Qualifications
  • 3-5 years of experience building and scaling cloud-based data platforms(AWS, GCP, or Azure).
  • Big Data Tech: Proficient in big data frameworks like Spark, Kafka, Beam, Flink etc
  • Data Formats: Familiarity with OSS data formats like Parquet, Arrow, Iceberg and protocols like Avro and Protobuf.
  • Experience with observability tools(e.g. OpenTelemetry, Prometheus etc) and implementing metrics, tracing and logging systems
  • Strong proficiency in Python and at least one JVM language (Java or Scala), with experience in microservices.
  • Proven experience handling diverse data typesโ€”specifically combining unstructured data (logs/video) with structured telemetry
Bonus Qualifications
  • Robotics/AV Background: Experience with robot-specific data formats (MCAP, ROS bags) and visualization tools like Foxglove or RVIZ.
  • Sensor Fusion: Understanding of time-sync challenges in multimodal data (e.g., PTP/NTP synchronization across sensors).
  • Infrastructure: Experience with Kubernetes and containerized deployment patterns.
  • Systems Programming: Familiarity with C++ or Rust for high-performance data handling at the edge.
  • IoT Knowledge: Experience with edge computing, Greengrass, or managing data from embedded devices.

This a hybrid position based out of one of our Salem, Pittsburgh, or Fremont offices.
