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, the company is pioneering a new era of automation that enhances human potential.

About the Role

We're looking for a Staff NPI Manufacturing Engineer to lead the transition of innovative, electromechanical designs from prototype through pilot builds into scaled production. This role focuses on new product introduction (NPI) and ensures manufacturability, quality, and testability across electromechanical subsystems and sub-assemblies including hardware, sensors, actuators, cables, and integration modules.

This is a highly cross-functional role partnering with electrical and mechanical design, test engineering, quality, supply chain, EMS, and mechanical suppliers to ensure rapid, repeatable, and high-quality production launches.

About the Work

• Lead NPI activities across multiple product lines, managing transition from design to production for electromechanical subassemblies.
• Own DFM/DFA/DFT efforts during early design phases to ensure manufacturing scalability.
• Develop and release work instructions, BOMs, process flows, test procedures, and fixture/tooling designs.
• Drive build readiness supporting Proto/EVT/DVT/PVT activities including line bring-up and process validation.
• Troubleshoot sub-system and system-level issues using structured root cause analysis.
• Partner with EMS providers and suppliers to improve first-pass yield and throughput.
• Improve yield and reduce cost using SPC, lean, and 6 sigma tools.
• Support environmental and reliability testing such as burn-in, thermal cycling, and HALT.
• Develop and release manufacturing specifications, drawings, SOPs, workflows, and fixtures.
• Collaborate with suppliers and contract manufacturers on qualification and process capability.
• Document processes and communicate effectively across teams.

About You

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field with 7+ years of experience.
• 5+ years in manufacturing assembly for electromechanical or embedded systems products.
• Hands-on NPI experience on the manufacturing floor.
• Experience transitioning products through PVT to end of life.
• Experience with manufacturing test requirements, test stand development, validation testing, and ECO release.
• Proficiency with Altium and/or Creo.
• Experience supporting EMS/CM partners and supply chain readiness.
• Working knowledge of FMEA, ECO processes, PLM systems, and design validation best practices.
• Strong technical documentation and collaboration skills.
