Senior Staff Data Scientist, Robotics

About this 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 Agility Robotics builds Digit, a humanoid robot deployed into real warehouses and factories under a Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) model.

Every hour Digit operates generates telemetry, logs, sensor streams, and maintenance events — and turning that into reliability, unit economics, and product decisions is the job. As a Senior Staff Data Scientist, you'll define how we use data to build better robots and make better decisions. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role where you'll set the technical direction for analytics and modeling while helping build a truly data-driven engineering organization.

In this newly created role, you'll transform massive volumes of complex robot data into the insights and models that drive decisions across hardware, software, manufacturing, and operations. You'll create the foundation for how we measure success, improve robot performance at scale, and prioritize what to build next — accelerating how we design, deploy, and continuously improve our autonomous systems. About The Work Predictive maintenance & hardware reliability .

Build models that predict MTBF and remaining useful life for specific components (actuators, cameras, compute, power systems). Partner with hardware engineering to model wear-and-tear under varying duty cycles, payloads, and environmental conditions, and turn those models into maintenance schedules and design feedback. Fleet performance & RaaS unit economics . Analyze telemetry and logs to find which software versions, site conditions, or usage patterns correlate with the highest failure and intervention rates.

Work with Product to define the "golden signals" of a RaaS deployment and stand up the dashboards behind each. Quantify the cost of human intervention (teleop, on-site support, manual recovery) and its drivers. Root-cause & anomaly detection tooling . Build detection and RCA tooling that surfaces anomalies in fleet behavior early and helps engineers get from symptom to cause faster. Manufacturing quality & feedback loops .
