Senior Staff Software Engineer, Calibration
About The 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.
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.
Cross-functional overlap with sensor vendors, contract manufacturers, and internal hardware, controls, and perception teams is inherent to the role.
Requirements
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.
Qualifications
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, perception, sensor vendors, and contract manufacturers.
Hands-on engineering practice, comfortable in the lab and on the production floor.
