## About the role

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. Our team consists of individuals with varying levels of experience and backgrounds, from new graduates to domain experts.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years in manufacturing or NPI engineering for complex electromechanical hardware, with meaningful time in low-volume, high-complexity production rather than high-volume line manufacturing
- Direct experience taking a product from prototype into repeatable production
- Experience leading technicians and engineers — formally or as a lead — with a real interest in doing it
- Fluency with PLM and BOM systems, and the judgment to keep BOM data trustworthy as designs move
- Hands-on process development: fixture design, assembly method development, tooling selection
- Demonstrated ownership of work instructions and build documentation under revision control
