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 deploys Digit — a humanoid robot — into customer warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing environments. Every customer deployment needs mechanical design work related to workcell layouts, custom fixtures and jigs and possibly additional safety guarding along with integration of off-the-shelf hardware components like barcode scanners and sensors.
This role will be a hands-on Applications Mechanical Engineer/Designer who can take a customer use case concept and turn it into a physical reality captured in CAD with a detailed BOM and documentation. This person will help deploy the design in our test cells and possibly in a customer facility if needed. This is a "do" role. The person will design cell layouts, integrate an off-the-shelf scanner, and help the team troubleshoot fixtures as needed. The range matters more than depth in any single specialty.
About the Work
- Design customer workcell layouts — robot placement, material flow, operator access, safety zones, and integration with existing customer infrastructure.
- Design and detail custom fixtures, carts, jigs, staging equipment, and material handling interfaces specific to each customer deployment.
- Test and integrate off-the-shelf hardware components that have been vetted by the product design engineering team — barcode scanners, 2D code readers, sensors, light curtains, mounting hardware — into deployment configurations.
- Produce production-quality CAD models, detailed drawings, and BOMs suitable for fabrication, procurement, and field assembly.
- Assist with customer site surveys to capture physical constraints: floor conditions, ceiling heights, dock configurations, utility access, material flow paths, and existing equipment interfaces.
- Support cell setup and commissioning on-site — hands-on troubleshooting of mechanical fit, fixture alignment, and hardware integration issues.
- Adopt and adapt end-of-arm tooling and gripper interfaces for customer-specific manipulation requirements — totes, cases, cartons, and structured items.
- Collaborate with other team members on deployment configurations — translating mechanical design into robot programming parameters.
- Build a library of reusable designs — standard cell layouts, common fixture patterns, proven hardware integration approaches — that accelerate future deployments.
- Other duties as assigned.
About You
- 5+ years in mechanical design, applications engineering, or a designer/drafter role with increasing responsibility demonstrated by a portfolio of deployed designs.
- Proficiency producing detailed drawings and BOMs in 3D CAD (SolidWorks, Creo, or equivalent).
- Practical experience integrating off-the-shelf hardware components into mechanical assemblies — scanners, sensors, actuators, mounting systems..
- Familiarity with standard fabrication methods: sheet metal, machining, weldments, 3D printing and the cost and lead time tradeoffs.
- Hands-on capability to pick up tools, help assemble a fixture, troubleshoot a fit issue, and work alongside field technicians as/if needed.
- Comfort operating in ambiguity: incomplete data, evolving requirements, concurrent crises across multiple customer programs.
- Willingness to travel up to 20% of the time for customer site surveys, deployment support, and commissioning.
Bonus Points
- Experience running simulation of warehouse automation or material handling equipment.
- Background in applications engineering at a robotics or automation company — designing solutions for customer environments – ideally environments where robots work alongside people.
- Experience with gripper design, end-of-arm tooling, or manipulation system interfaces.
- Familiarity with industrial integration hardware — barcode/2D scanners, safety-rated devices, industrial networking components.
- A jack-of-all-trades mindset — you're the person who figures out how to make things work with what's available, not the person who waits for perfect conditions.
- The aptitude and willingness to learn safety standards relevant to robotic workcells
Location
- This is a hybrid position based out of our Salem, OR or Pittsburgh, PA offices with travel to customer sites up to 20% (site surveys, deployments) | Reports to: Lead, Solution Architecture
The final salary offered to a successful candidate will be dependent on several factors that may include but are not limited to: market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. This range may change based on geographical location and may be modified in the future.
In addition to base pay, our competitive total rewards package consists of the following for full-time employees:
- 401(k) Plan: Includes a 6% company match.
- Equity: Company stock options.
- Insurance Coverage: 100% company-paid medical, dental, vision, and short/long-term disability insurance for employees.
- Benefit Start Date: Eligible for benefits on your first day of employment.
- Well-Being Support: Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
- Time Off:
- Exempt Employees: Flexible, unlimited PTO and 12 company holidays, including a winter shutdown.
- Non-Exempt Employees: 10 vacation days, paid sick leave, and 12 company holidays, including a winter shutdown, annually.
- On-Site Perks: Catered lunches four times a week and a variety of healthy snacks and refreshments at our Salem and Pittsburgh locations.
- Parental Leave: Generous paid parental leave programs.
- Work Environment: A culture that supports flexible work arrangements.
- Growth Opportunities: Professional development and tuition reimbursement programs.

Senior Designer Jobs in Oregon: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a senior designer in Oregon?
Reaching the senior designer level in Oregon typically requires a bachelor's degree in graphic design, industrial design, UX, or a closely related field, followed by several years of progressively responsible work building a strong portfolio. Oregon does not require a state-issued license to work as a designer, so advancement depends on demonstrated project ownership, leadership experience, and a body of work that shows brand, product, or digital design expertise at scale.
Which companies hire senior designers in Oregon?
Oregon senior designer roles are posted by NIKE, Sargent & Lundy, and Esri and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Oregon's concentration of global consumer brands, tech campuses, and independent creative agencies means senior design talent is recruited across a wide range of industries and company sizes.
Which Oregon cities have the most senior designer jobs?
Portland, Beaverton, and Oregon have the most senior designer openings in Oregon. Portland anchors the market as home to major agency headquarters, Nike and adidas North America offices, and a dense cluster of tech and media companies, while Beaverton and Eugene draw demand from corporate design teams and university-adjacent creative industries respectively.
Are there remote senior designer jobs in Oregon?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 82% of senior designer openings tied to Oregon are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how much of the work centers on digital deliverables and collaborative software rather than physical presence. Brand, UX, and digital product design roles are the most likely to offer remote flexibility, while packaging and industrial design roles more often require on-site access to materials and production teams.
How can I get hired as a senior designer in Oregon with little or no experience?
The most realistic path is building a targeted portfolio through internships or contract work, then applying to associate or junior designer roles at Oregon's large consumer and tech employers, which often run structured new-grad or rotational programs. Nike, Intel, and Portland's established agency community regularly bring in emerging designers through internship pipelines that convert to full-time positions. Moving laterally from a production artist, marketing coordinator, or UI developer role is also common, especially when paired with a self-directed portfolio that demonstrates senior-level thinking.
Where can I find and apply to senior designer jobs in Oregon?
You can find and apply to senior designer jobs in Oregon on Migrate Mate, which lists current Oregon openings across industries and experience levels. Find roles that fit your background and apply directly to the ones that match.
