- What Agility Robotics INC paid sponsored hires in similar roles
- 7 certified filings for “Senior Mechanical Engineer” (Mechanical Engineers) in CA: $154k–$195k, median $194k. Most were filed at wage level IV (43%) — 4 lottery entries, ≈61% projected selection odds for cap-subject employers. Source: US Department of Labor LCA disclosure data (Oct 2025 – Jun 2026).
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 Team:
Our mechanical engineering team is agile and has grown rapidly, and we are looking for a talented engineer to join us in Fremont, CA. We are responsible for delivering advanced and reliable designs that meet a complex set of requirements to our customers, including software developers, applications engineers, manufacturing engineers and ultimately to fleet deployment managers. We work as a group to develop new technologies, engineer new products, and refine/maintain existing designs. The team is composed of engineers from many backgrounds and levels of experience.
About The Role:
We are designing the next generation of Digit Humanoid Robot for commercial scale. Highly reliable and robust designs are critical to successful deployment of our robots in large quantities. Digit works in demanding environments, performing highly repetitive and heavily loaded tasks. The Senior Mechanical Engineer will work closely with other mechanical engineers and cross functional teams to develop the next generation Digit. This role will own multiple mechanical and electro-mechanical parts/assemblies and will be responsible for the design, prototyping, and DFx for those parts.
About the work:
• Own the 3D and 2D design of electromechanical components and subassemblies, including prototyping of parts and subsystems.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (electrical, industrial design, software, test, and manufacturing) to define requirements and develop design concepts.
• Perform engineering analyses to validate design decisions, including supporting structural and thermal analyses.
• Present and participate in cross-functional design reviews of parts and subsystems.
• Support root cause investigations and implement improvements to enhance Digit robustness.
• Contribute to the development and documentation of mechanical engineering processes.
• Track progress and document design work using Jira and Confluence.
• Deliver quality results within established schedules, budgets, and priorities.
• Create and maintain comprehensive design documentation.
• Mentor and support the development of junior engineers.
• Travel requirement (25% travel to Salem)
About you:
• 1-2 years of mechanical design experience
• B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent, minimum requirement)
• Demonstrated experience in mechanism design, electronics packaging,sensors
• Knowledge of various types of motors, encoders, power transmission, and drive-train-related components such as gears, lead screws, linear guides, harmonic drive actuators, etc.
• Proven experience designing and building mechanisms and assemblies, preferably in robotics
• Demonstrated experience in mechanical analysis including modeling tolerance stacks, static and dynamic analysis, FEA and thermal analysis
• Ability to be on-site at Agility’s design facility as needed (minimum 2 days per week and as needed to support design activities, reviews, prototype testing, etc.)
Preferred Skills and Experience:
• Robotics experience design experience
• Advanced degree in engineering or science or robotics
• Creo and Windchill experience
• Jira/Confluence experience
• PLM and PDM experience
