Full Job Description
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 seeking a versatile Robotics Infrastructure Engineer to build the edge-to-cloud systems that connect, manage, update, and monitor our robot fleet at scale. Your work will span on-device software, cloud infrastructure, fleet observability, OTA updates, and reliable connectivity in real-world environments. You should be comfortable writing production-grade C++ and Python on robots while also designing secure, low-latency pipelines into cloud and web platforms. This role involves close collaboration with robotics, autonomy, hardware, deployment, and web product teams to unlock new capabilities powered by real-time robot data. Responsibilities Design, implement, and maintain production-grade C++ and Python software running directly on robotic platforms. Build on-device systems for interfacing with core robotics software, managing local data buffering, and handling edge-side communication logic. Architect and maintain secure, low-latency edge-to-cloud data pipelines connecting deployed robot fleets to cloud infrastructure and web platforms.
