Robotics Application Engineer

Skild AI is building the world's first general purpose robotic intelligence and is seeking a Robotics Application Engineer to work on software that bridges foundation models and real-world deployment. The role involves designing, developing, and deploying software for robotic systems, as well as collaborating with cross-functional teams to improve robotic performance.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and deploy software for robotic systems, including programming, configuration, and validation
• Integrate and deploy robotic software solutions into production environments
• Test, troubleshoot, and debug robotic applications — tracing failures across hardware, software, and model layers
• Work closely with ML and core robotics engineers to surface deployment failures, reproduce edge cases, and translate field learnings into system improvements
• Analyze and improve robot algorithms and system performance over time
• Build and maintain technical documentation, runbooks, and tooling to support configuration, monitoring, and performance evaluation
• Collaborate with hardware, operations, and R&D teams to optimize robotic performance and scalability
