<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p></div><h1><span style="font-size: 12pt;">About The Team</span></h1> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Agility Robotics is building the future of work through humanoid robots that operate in human environments. The Data Platform team builds the data infrastructure that powers everything from fleet operations and hardware reliability to business analytics and machine learning. We enable engineers across robotics, perception, and product teams to derive insight from the vast quantities of telemetry and log data generated by our robots in the field.</span></p> <h1><span style="font-size: 12pt;">About The Role</span></h1> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">We are looking for a <strong>Senior Data Engineer</strong> to join our Data Platform team and help shape the foundation of data-driven operations at Agility. In this role, you’ll work closely with robotics & and operations teams to design, curate, and maintain high-quality datasets that enable analytics, debugging, and fleet-scale insights.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">You’ll bridge the gap between raw robot data and actionable information — working both on-robot data generation and in the cloud ingestion and processing pipelines. You’ll design transformations, author pipelines, and collaborate across teams to deliver reliable and queryable data products for hardware reliability, system health, workflow metrics, and root cause analysis.</span></p> <h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>What You’ll Do</strong></span></h3> <ul> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Collaborate with robot software and hardware teams to define, collect, and curate data needed for analytics and debugging.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Develop and maintain ETL pipelines that transform raw robot logs and telemetry into structured datasets using Spark, Airflow (or equivalent orchestration tools), and AWS data services.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Own the gold-layer datasets that power fleet dashboards, reliability models, and business metrics, with defined freshness SLAs, documentation, and monitoring so analytics and data science teams can rely on them.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Implement data quality checks, schema evolution, and metadata management practices using our internal Data Registry and cataloging systems.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Collaborate with internal consumers — reliability, analytics, and ML teams — to design efficient data models for their workflows.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Occasionally contribute to shared libraries or APIs in Python, Java, or C++ to support data capture and consumption.</span><br><br></li> </ul> <h1><span style="font-size: 12pt;">What We’re Looking For</span></h1> <h2><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Required:</span></h2> <ul>
