About this role
**Senior Release Manager — Agility Robotics** Agility’s commercially deployed humanoids work alongside teams in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers—handling physically demanding and repetitive tasks while enabling workers to focus on higher-value work. ## About the Role As a **Senior Release Manager**, you’ll own the **end-to-end release process** for the robot platform, coordinating across **software, firmware, hardware, and field operations**. You’ll triage issues that determine whether a release ships, build automation to make releases repeatable, and instrument the release path so every release is **measurable, observable, and reversible**. This role is ideal if you enjoy the intersection of **technical execution** and **cross-functional leadership**, helping Agility ship confidently and frequently while maintaining operational excellence in deployed customer environments. ## About the Work ### Release Planning & Execution - Define release scope, objectives, and timelines with Product, Engineering, and Field Operations - Plan and run the release calendar for robot software, firmware, and cloud services (major/minor/patch/hotfix) - Manage release cadence to balance innovation with stability for production deployments - Define entry/exit criteria, run readiness reviews, and lead go/no-go decisions based on QA/V&V results - Run blameless post-release reviews and drive root-cause follow-up ### Release Process & Configuration Management - Establish and enforce standardized release processes (change control, version management, release branching) - Maintain configuration integrity across robot platforms and hardware variants - Define and maintain release policies, documentation standards, and traceability requirements - Partner with Issue Management to ensure upcoming fleet-impacting issues have a release vehicle ### System Integration & Validation - Partner with Systems Engineering and Test to develop validation strategies for each release - Ensure thorough integration testing across hardware/software/AI subsystems (functionality, performance, safety, reliability) - Coordinate field readiness assessments (deployment scenario validation and customer acceptance criteria) - Drive cross-functional collaboration to resolve defects, integration issues, and regression failures ### Release Improvements - Introduce release train models and standardized pipelines for predictable, low-touch releases - Remove manual steps continuously—measure time/errors impact and feed improvements back to Release Engineering ### Field Deployment & Operations Support - Plan staged OTA rollouts: internal fleet → canary sites → rollout rings → general availability - Establish rollback criteria, automated rollback hooks, and contingency plans for production - Coordinate customer-site schedules and acceptance criteria to minimize operational disruption - Maintain incident playbooks and support incident response and post-deployment issue resolution ### Release Instrumentation & Metrics - Establish and track key release metrics (cycle time, deployment frequency, change failure rate, defect escape rate, rollback frequency, update success rate, time to restore) - Instrument CI/CD, signing, artifact, and OTA pipelines so every stage is timed and traceable - Tag releases in telemetry/logging/tracing so faults and regressions map to a specific build - Build and maintain dashboards and alerts for engineering, product, operations, and support
