Manager of Robotics Test Infrastructure and Release

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. Agility Robotics is at the forefront of humanoid robotics, developing advanced robots designed to function seamlessly in human environments. Our mission is to build robots that enhance productivity and support industries through safe and effective automation. We are seeking a Manager of Robotics Test Infrastructure and Release to lead a team responsible for building and scaling the test infrastructure, automation frameworks, and internal tooling that power our software validation capability, while owning the release management function and the feedback loop that ensures every release makes us better than the last. About the Role As Manager of Robotics Test Infrastructure and Release, you will own the full lifecycle of software quality at Agility - from the tools and infrastructure that make testing possible, to the release process that gets software onto our robot fleet, to the feedback loop that closes the gap between what ships and what works in the real world. You will lead a team of engineers who write test automation frameworks, develop internal tooling, manage CI/CD pipelines, and own the release management function end to end. You will define what "ready to release" means and hold that bar. This role is ideal for a technically strong, execution-oriented leader who thrives at the intersection of software engineering, systems thinking, and operational rigor. About the Work Test Infrastructure, Tooling and Automation Own the architecture, development, and evolution of Agility's test infrastructure, including simulation-based, hardware-in-the-loop, and physical robot test environments Establish and scale structured test development practices and automated test frameworks across the full robotics software stack including controls, perception, state estimation, planning, and the cloud platform for robot fleet management , ensuring test cases are comprehensive, maintainable, and traceable to product requirements Build and maintain internal tooling that serves the broader SEIT org, reducing manual effort and increasing test coverage and execution velocity Own test execution platforms, artifact management, regression tracking, and reporting infrastructure Partner with Systems Engineering to ensure requirements are translated into automatable acceptance criteria and that traceability from requirement to test to result is maintained Release Management Lead the release management function end to end: define quality gates, own the release readiness process, and make the go/no-go call on software releases with clear, metrics-backed rationale Define the test strategy for each software release, specifying what gets tested, at what depth, and on what platforms before software ships to development or production robots Develop and enforce processes for bug tracking, prioritization, and resolution across the release cycle Post-Release Feedback Loop Own what happens after a release goes out: track field issues, identify test gaps that allowed escapes, and drive resolution before the next release Partner with integration engineers and software teams to reproduce, root cause, and resolve high-priority issues using data logs, telemetry, and test artifacts Use field data to continuously improve the test strategy and raise the quality bar over time People and Cross-functional Leadership Lead, grow, and mentor a team of engineers across test infrastructure, automation, and release management Collaborate closely with Robot Software, Controls, AI Software, Systems and Testing teams to embed quality into every stage of the development cycle Deliv ...
