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 current era of automation that enhances human potential.
About The Role
Join the Autonomy team as a Senior Software Engineer focused on Navigation. You will be a core contributor, driving the design and deployment of real-time motion planning and navigation systems that empower our humanoid robots to operate robustly and autonomously in complex logistics and manufacturing environments. This is a high-impact role essential to scaling our commercial deployments, improving the efficiency of autonomous loco-manipulation behaviors, and achieving software readiness for the next generation robot platforms.
About The Work
- Design, implement, and deploy 3D motion planning algorithms for locomotion,
with an emphasis on whole-body collision-aware motion execution in real-time.
- Own the core components of our navigation stack, specifically the local planning maps, terrain models, and grid map representations used for path and motion planning with collision avoidance.
- Advance our locomotion capabilities by developing and maintaining a 3D footstep path planner aiming to significantly reduce navigation cycle times.
- Define and implement the necessary navigation features and route planning algorithms to enable coordinated movement and resource sharing within multi-agent robot fleets.
- Drive the maturity of our release processes by designing, implementing, and maintaining robust regression testing pipelines for motion planning and navigation modules.
- Collaborate with the AI and Controls teams to integrate locomotion behaviors with RL policies and support whole-body control.
- Integrate and debug planning algorithms on real-world hardware, owning the
