About the Company
At Skild AI, we are building the world's first general purpose robotic intelligence that is robust and adapts to unseen scenarios without failing.
Job Description
We're hiring a zero-to-one software engineer to build the manufacturing test and production systems for our robot assembly line. You will own the software backbone that connects our physical hardware, factory operations, test equipment, and cloud data history. This is a highly hands-on role, you'll work directly on the floor with manufacturing, hardware, and embedded engineers to turn ambiguous production needs into robust, scalable software.
Requirements
- Background in robotics, aerospace, defense, automotive, drones, satellites, medical devices, industrial automation, consumer hardware, or complex electromechanical manufacturing.
- Comfortable writing code that interfaces with both physical equipment (sensors, fixtures) and cloud APIs or databases.
- Relevant prior titles might include Manufacturing Software Engineer, Test Automation Engineer, Production Software Engineer, Robotics Software Engineer, or MES/Factory Software Engineer.
- Ownership mindset: you know how to build the scrappy first version, support it live on the factory floor, and iteratively grow it into a durable production system.
Benefits
- Base salary range: $100,000—$300,000 USD
