Company Overview

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. 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.

Position Overview

We are looking for Mechanical Design Engineers to create and fabricate robotic systems for teleoperation, human-robot interaction and data collection. You will be responsible for designing, developing, and testing electro-mechanical hardware systems that include haptic devices, exoskeletons, and others. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure our products achieve the highest standards of performance, reliability, and efficiency.

Responsibilities

  • Design, prototype, and test hardware systems for human-robot interaction
  • Create detailed CAD models and drawings for jigs, fixtures, and tools using CAD software for mechanical components.
  • Utilize 3D printing and rapid prototyping techniques to develop and test hardware prototypes.
  • Collaborate with software engineers, mechanical engineers, and other team members to integrate hardware with software and mechanical designs.
  • Conduct tests and simulations to ensure the functionality and reliability of hardware systems.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve hardware issues and provide technical support during the product development lifecycle.
  • Prepare documentation for hardware designs, specifications, and test procedures.

Preferred Qualifications

  • BS, MS or higher degree in Mechanical engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Proven experience in hardware design and prototyping, including both electrical and mechanical components.
  • Proficiency in CAD software for mechanical design (Solidworks, Onshape, or other).
  • Experience with Arduino or similar platforms for electronic prototyping and control systems.
  • Familiarity with 3D printing and rapid prototyping techniques.
  • Strong understanding of electronic components, circuit design, and signal processing.
  • Experience with testing and debugging hardware systems.

Bonus qualifications:

  • Experience with robotics, teleoperation, or digital twin systems
  • Experience with human-centered considerations for robot design
  • Experience with actuator and sensor design for high performance haptic devices
  • Experience working with high-speed control systems, including low-level firmware
