Staff Software Engineer, Hardware Interface

<div class="content-intro"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Agility Robotics is a pioneer. Our robot, Digit, is the first to be sold into workplaces across the globe. Our team is differentiated by its expertise in imagining, engineering, and delivering robots with advanced mobility, dexterity, intelligence, and efficiency -- robots specifically designed to work alongside people, in spaces built for people. Every day, we break through engineering challenges and invent new solutions and capabilities that will one day make robots commonplace and approachable. This work is our passion and our responsibility: our mission is to make businesses more productive and people’s lives more fulfilling.</span></p></div><h2><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>About The Role</strong></span></h2> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Agility Robotics is building the future of work through humanoid robots that operate in human environments.
