Pre-sales Solutions Engineer

Agility Robotics Agility Robotics · Robotics · Remote · Commercial

This role is for a Pre-Sales Solutions Engineer at Agility Robotics, a company that deploys humanoid robots in industrial settings. The engineer will partner with sales, product, and field engineering teams to engage clients, scope deployments, and design integration solutions for robotic systems. The role requires technical expertise in robotics, autonomy, and enterprise systems to influence customer architectures and ensure successful technology adoption. The engineer will also translate field insights into product feedback and mentor junior team members.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own technical discovery and solutioning with strategic enterprise clients: conduct deep dives into customer environments, operational workflows, and integration requirements for humanoid robotics applications (e.g., logistics, manufacturing, material handling).
  2. Act as the technical authority during pre-sales engagements: lead workshops, system demonstrations, proofs-of-concept, and technical evaluations to accelerate deal closure.
  3. Design and communicate integration architectures: build scalable deployment models, specifying hardware/software interfaces, perception and manipulation requirements, fleet management integration, and safety considerations.
  4. Collaborate with internal engineering and product teams to translate customer use cases, feature requests, and operational constraints into actionable feedback that informs product roadmap decisions.
  5. Lead technical solution proposals for RFPs and large-scale opportunities, ensuring high-quality responses across system capabilities (performance, compliance, data handling, reliability).

Skills

Required

  • 5–7 years of experience in a Solutions Engineer, Sales Engineer, Field Applications Engineer, or similar customer-facing technical role, preferably within robotics, autonomous systems, industrial automation, or enterprise hardware/software integration.
  • Strong technical foundation, ideally across robotics concepts
  • Experience designing or supporting real-world deployments of robotics systems/industrial automation in operational environments (e.g., warehouses, manufacturing plants, distribution centers).
  • Proven ability to articulate complex technical solutions in simple, compelling terms to technical and non-technical audiences alike — supported by strong skills in architecture diagrams, systems design, and technical storytelling.
  • Demonstrated strategic thinking and commercial awareness — ability to design solutions that balance technical rigor with business viability and operational scale.
  • Hands-on experience building and delivering proof-of-concept projects, demos, or pilot programs for cutting-edge technology.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment typical of emerging technologies.
  • A working knowledge of CAD software (AutoCAD, etc)
  • Ability to travel (~40–60%) for client meetings, deployments, and trade shows.
  • Authorization to work in the USA
