Description
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 scaling production of Digit over the coming years. Reliable, repeatable calibration of every robot -- across perception sensors and kinematics -- is foundational to that scale. The Sr. Staff Software Engineer - Calibration is responsible for Agility's calibration capability end to end. This is a player-coach role. The successful candidate will personally design, build, and deliver the calibration systems used in production, leveraging existing vendors, components, and systems. The candidate will also identify and develop other engineers contributing to calibration work, and will help shape the long-term technical direction of calibration at Agility. The role demands strong conceptual depth combined with pragmatic, tried-and-true implementation. Calibration at Agility is a practical engineering discipline grounded in real-world production environments. The successful candidate will operate with broad technical autonomy, set the bar for calibration accuracy and repeatability, and produce outputs that flow into downstream manufacturing processes. Cross-functional overlap with sensor vendors, contract manufacturers, and internal hardware, controls, and perception teams is inherent to the role. About The Work Design, implement, and deliver calibration systems end to end, including algorithms, fixtures, on-fixture software, data pipelines, validation, and operator workflow. Own calibration across perception sensors (RGB cameras, LiDAR, thermal imagers, and other modalities) and kinematic calibration of the robot, including joint approaches that couple sensor extrinsics with arm and whole-body kinematics. Establish the data and metrics infrastructure underpinning calibration, including per-unit records, accuracy and drift metrics, traceability, and fleet-level monitoring. Own the delivery of calibration fixture software, including operator-facing applications on Linux. Own the delivery of in-field self-check and recalibration capabilities to maintain calibration validity through Digit's service life. Define the requirements that calibration outputs place on downstream manufacturing processes, including cycle time, repeatability, data capture, and operator workflow. Coordinate with sensor vendors and contract manufacturers on the deployment of calibration processes at their facilities, including process documentation, operator training, and acceptance criteria. Identify, hire, mentor, and develop other engineers contributing to calibration work. About You 10+ years of practical experience calibrating complex robotic or sensor-rich systems in real production environments. Track record of designing and delivering calibration systems end to end, including algorithms, fixtures, on-fixture software, validation, and operator workflow. Deep expertise across multiple sensor modalities (RGB cameras, LiDAR, thermal imagers, IMUs, encoders, etc), with working command of kinematic calibration and the coupling of sensor extrinsics to kinematics. Demonstrated understanding of what production calibration requires: repeatability, data collection, simplicity, and throughput. Experience building the data and metrics infrastructure that supports calibration at scale. Strong programming skills in C++ and Python. Player-coach orientation: capable of executing the technical work directly, while also identifying and developing the talent that contributes to it. Effective collaboration across multiple stakeholders, including hardware, controls, percep
