US H-1B: cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level — Level I gets 1 entry, Level IV gets 4 (DHS projected selection odds ≈15% at Level I to ≈61% at Level IV). Universities and non-profit research employers are cap-exempt. The $100,000 fee for new petitions from abroad is currently blocked by a court order (appeal pending).

About the role
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 looking for a hands-on, high-impact Director, Product Quality to lead our Field Quality and Failure Analysis engineering teams. In this role, you will hold ultimate accountability for overall field quality, reliability performance, and fleet health across all deployed commercial products. You are a seasoned practitioner of rigorous problem-solving methodologies (8D, 5-Why, DMAIC) with a proven track record of diving deep into complex electromechanical, hardware, and firmware failures. You will bridge the gap between field service operations, customer sites, supplier quality, and internal product design teams to ensure field issues are contained rapidly, root-caused definitively, and prevented permanently. About the Work • Own Field Quality & Fleet Health: Establish, monitor, and report on key field quality metrics (e.g., MTBI, MTTF, ARR, issue escape rates, service ticket turnaround time) for all shipping products and customer deployments. • Lead Failure Analysis (FA) & CAPA: Lead and grow a dedicated team of Failure Analysis Engineers. Drive rigorous Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Corrective/Preventive Action (CAPA) processes for field returns, hardware bugs, and system-level failures. • Field Containment & Rapid Response: Establish immediate containment protocols for critical field escalations, safety events, and unexpected fleet-wide failure trends to minimize customer downtime. • Cross-Functional Feedback Loop: Serve as the critical bridge between Field Operations, Customer Success, Hardware Engineering, Software/Firmware, and Supplier Quality. Drive design-for-reliability (DFR) feedback directly into next-generation product engineering. • Manage Closed-Loop Quality Systems: Implement and maintain robust Closed-Loop Corrective Action (CAPA) tracking across multi-site field deployments and repair depots. • Executive Communication & Governance: Host regular Field Quality Reviews with leadership, presenting objective data, failure Pareto analyses, root-cause findings, and measurable CAPA progress. About You • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field. • Experience: 10+ years of experience in Quality Engineering, Field Quality, or Reliability Engineering within high-complexity hardware industries (Robotics, Automotive/EV, Aerospace, Autonomous Systems, or Complex Industrial Equipment). • Leadership: 5+ years of direct people management experience leading technical engineering teams (FA, Quality, or Sustaining Engineering). • Hands-on Expertise: Deep, practical experience executing physical failure analysis on electromechanical systems (actuators, harnesses, sensors, PCBAs, battery management systems, and precision mechanical linkages). • Methodologies: Certified or expert practitioner in structured root cause analysis tools (8D, 5-Why, Fishbone/Ishikawa, Fault Tree Analysis, FMEA, Gauge R&R). Preferred Qualifications • Advanced Degree: Master’s degree in Engineering Management or an Engineering discipline. • Certifications: Certified Quality Engineer (CQE), Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE), or Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. • Domain Experience: Experience managing field reliability for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), humanoid robotics, or safety-critical industrial equipment. • Systems Exposure: Familiarity fir
