Robotics Application Engineer*
About this role
We are looking for a Robotics Application Engineer with 3–5+ years of experience to bridge cutting-edge foundation models and real-world robotic deployment at Skild AI. You'll be a hands-on, highly technical builder who thrives at the intersection of software development, systems integration, and field operations — helping shape the future of general-purpose robotic intelligence.
What will you be doing?
Design, develop, and deploy software for robotic systems — including programming, configuration, and validation.
Integrate robotic software solutions into production environments and troubleshoot failures across hardware, software, and model layers.
Collaborate closely with ML and core robotics engineers to surface deployment failures, reproduce edge cases, and feed field learnings back into system improvements.
Analyze and continuously improve robot algorithms and overall system performance.
Build and maintain technical documentation, runbooks, and tooling to support configuration, monitoring, and performance evaluation.
Key Requirements
3–5+ years of hands-on experience in robotics application development, system integration, or field deployment.
Proficiency in Python and C++ with strong working knowledge of ROS/ROS2.
Background in autonomous systems — robotics, drones, autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, or similar.
Familiarity with AI/ML techniques as applied to robotic systems.
BS, MS, or higher in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
Company at a glance
The company develops general-purpose robotic intelligence software that integrates with various hardware platforms, providing a flexible, hardware-agnostic brain for diverse robotic systems.
