Building general purpose robotic intelligence. Backed by General Catalyst, Lightspeed and Sequoia.
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. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- BS or MS in Mechatronics, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, with 3+ years in a prototype, development, or failure-analysis lab
- Experience with robotic, vehicle, or drone hardware: PCBAs, harnesses, actuators, sensors, and power systems
- Demonstrated ability to root-cause hardware failures methodically from first principles, communicate findings clearly, and act on them
- Proficiency in parametric CAD for parts, fixtures, and assemblies (Onshape preferred)
- Solid working knowledge of circuits, power distribution, signal integrity, and common electrical components, with the ability to independently read PCBA schematics, cable drawings, and test procedures
- SMD soldering and rework down to 0402, including hot-air and microscope work

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. Relevant industry experience is important, but ultimately less so than your demonstrated abilities and attitude. We are looking for passionate individuals who are eager to explore uncharted waters and contribute to our innovative projects.
We are looking for a Support Engineer to develop the systems and processes that ensure quality, reliability, and performance across our robotics and autonomous platforms. This role is hands-on with integrated hardware systems and entails building prototypes, designing/fabricating test setups in CAD, debugging/diagnosing electromechanical issues, and supporting manufacturing workflows.
You’ll split your time between fleet support and prototyping: triaging electromechanical failures across deployed units, running the repair...
