Senior Manufacturing Electrical Test Engineer

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.

About The Role

We are seeking a Staff Manufacturing Test Engineer with deep expertise (Seven or more years in test project design and implementation.) in  electronics, embedded systems, and production test strategy.  In this role, you will lead the development and optimization of robust, scalable test infrastructure to ensure the performance, quality, and reliability of our robotic systems.  You will mentor junior engineers, drive best practices across the test organization, and act as a technical liaison between cross-functional teams including Design, Systems, Firmware, and Manufacturing.

This position offers a unique opportunity to influence the design and manufacturability of cutting-edge robotic systems from early concept through high-volume production.

About The Work

• Serve as the technical owner and architect for manufacturing test systems supporting electrical, embedded, and control subsystems across multiple product lines.
• Define and drive automated production test strategies for embedded hardware, maximizing coverage, repeatability, traceability, and throughput.
• Partner with Design, Systems, Firmware, and Manufacturing teams to embed Design-for-Test (DFT) and Design-for-Manufacturing (DFM) principles early in product development.
• Own the full lifecycle of manufacturing test platforms, including requirements definition, hardware and software development, deployment, validation, and long-term sustainment.
• Lead root cause analysis and failure investigations by analyzing test data, identifying trends, and driving corrective and preventive actions at the system level.
• Provide technical leadership during New Product Introduction (NPI) by establishing scalable, production-ready test strategies from EVT/DVT through ramp and steady-state production.
• Define and uphold test documentation standards, ensuring clear, maintainable specifications, procedures, and technical records for test equipment and processes.
• Mentor and technically guide manufacturing test engineers and technicians, elevating test rigor, design quality, and engineering best practices.
• Develop and deploy tools for test data collection, visualization, database integration, and automated reporting to support real-time manufacturing and quality decisions.
• Ensure manufacturing test processes align with internal quality systems and applicable industry standards.

About You

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, or a related field (Master’s degree preferred).
• 7+ years of test design experience. Need to have defined, designed, built, debugged, correlated and implemented multiplex complex mixed signal manufacturing test solutions. Demonstrated ownership of complex electronic, electro-mechanical or embedded system test solutions.
• Demonstrated experience leading end-to-end test system development in robotics, automotive, aerospace, or consumer electronics manufacturing environments.  Need to be able to communicate your leadership, skills, projects and decisions clearly.
• Strong proficiency in test software development (Python preferred), including automation, instrumentation control, and data analysis.  Our test programs are thousands of lines of OO Python, strong transferable C+ skills are acceptable.
  
• Electrical and electronic circuit design experience,  Fluent ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and layouts and quickly analyze their function and how to test/debug those circuits. ECAD tools (Altium preferred) required.
• Hands-on experience designing, deploying and supporting manufacturing test fixtures, harnesses, and production test stations.
• Familiarity with Linux- or RTOS-based systems (e.g., FreeRTOS) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing methodologies.
  
• Deep understanding of embedded systems and communication protocols (I²C, SPI, UART, CAN, EtherCAT).
• Proven ability to influence cross-functional teams through technical leadership and sound engineering judgment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly docume
