Robotics Engineer, Manipulation

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

• Help design algorithms, models, and techniques for various robotic manipulation tasks.
• Design hardware and software systems for various robotic manipulation tasks.
• Write controllers and perception stacks for real-world robotic deployment.
• Write and maintain production-level C++ and Python code for our robotic manipulation platforms.
• Collaborate with machine learning engineers to deploy state-of-the-art models on our robots.
• Continuously improve and optimize robotic software for performance, reliability, and scalability.

Requirements

• Experience in designing robotic manipulation systems and deploying software on real robots.
• Experience with writing controllers and knowledge of robotics (kinematics, dynamics, control, motion planning, SLAM).
• Proficiency in Python and deep learning libraries (PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, etc.).
• Systems-level understanding of robotic software modules (ROS/ROS2, simulators, etc.).

Preferred Qualifications

• BS, MS or higher degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering or a related field.
• Publications at top-tier ML, robotics or CV conferences.
• Experience with designing custom robot hardware solutions.
• Proficiency with robot learning techniques (RL, imitation learning, etc.).
• Experience with computer vision algorithms, sensors (LiDAR, camera, radar), and 3D data (meshes, point clouds).
