About the role

Senior Staff Software Engineer leading calibration end-to-end for Agility’s Digit humanoid; player-coach role designing, building, and delivering calibration systems for production and guiding a team across sensor modalities and kinematics to ensure repeatability and throughput in real-world environments.

Responsibilities

  • 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.

Qualifications

  • 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, perception, sensor vendors, and contract manufacturers.
  • Hands-on engineering practice, comfortable in the lab and on the production floor.
