About the role

We are seeking a senior robotics engineer to own the software that makes our wearable robots move.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years' experience in robotics
  • Proven track record of writing software that runs on hardware
  • Experience in small teams, ideally in start ups, you’re willing to wear many hats and chip in across the board
  • Experience with embedded systems -- you can write C/C++ and you understand what's happening at the hardware level
  • Proficiency in Python and/or C++ for algorithm development, data analysis, and test scripting, including common AI-coding tools (and their pitfalls)
  • Strong foundation in control systems
More about this role

Skip is on a mission to make life joyful through powered movement.

Movement is a powerful way to build physical, mental and social health. Yet it is elusive for 2 billion people due to age, injury, or disability. We are building products that will restore mobility for millions and enable a new frontier of joyful movement experiences. We want to build a future where a grandparent can easily outrun their grandkids and no one is left behind at the trailhead.

Skip is a 22-person early-stage start-up that spun out of Google X in 2023. With deep cross-disciplinary expertise and key partnerships (e.g. with Arc’teryx) we are uniquely positioned to launch the first commercially successful wearable robotic device, the MO/GO, develop a platform to launch future Movewear products and transform millions of lives in the coming years.
