R&D Assembly Technician

About the Company

At Skild AI, we are building the world's first general purpose robotic intelligence that is robust and adapts to unseen scenarios without failing. We believe massive scale through data-driven machine learning is the key to unlocking these capabilities for the widespread deployment of robots within society.

Responsibilities

• Build, assemble, and calibrate prototype and early-production units — including mechanical assembly, wiring and harnessing, fastening, and subsystem integration
• Surface assembly issues, fit problems, and DFA/DFM feedback that informs the next design revision
• Develop and refine assembly work instructions (SWIs) as processes are established for the first time
• Troubleshoot build issues alongside the engineering team and contribute to real-time problem solving
• Optionally grow into BOM and build-system work (OpenBOM, version control) based on interest

Requirements

• Hands-on assembly experience with complex electromechanical hardware such as robotics, EVs, aerospace, or medical devices
• Comfort with ambiguity and incomplete documentation in a fast-moving R&D environment
• Strong generalist skill set across torque/fastening, wiring and harnessing, soldering, reading CAD and GD&T, and basic electrical troubleshooting
• Genuine curiosity about how things go together and the communication skills to give engineers actionable feedback
