Robotics Application Engineer*

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).
