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 an experienced Electrical Engineer to join Skild AI and
help drive innovation in robotics technology. In this role, you’ll
design DC power systems, integrate sensors, and collaborate on
advanced motor driver and power electronics. You’ll play a key part
in hardware design, testing, and system validation to ensure
reliability and performance in cutting-edge robotics solutions.
Responsibilities Design and implement DC power systems, including
battery management systems, monitoring, and protection. Collaborate
with firmware engineers to design and validate motor driver
circuits and power electronics systems. Integrate and fuse sensor
data, including IMUs, encoders, hall sensors, and temperature
sensors (PCB-level design). Develop and test power/sensor
electronics systems in collaboration with hardware and firmware
teams. Ensure system reliability through testing, validation, and
debugging of hardware systems in the lab. Document design processes
and contribute to hardware best practices. Preferred Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics,
or Mechatronics. Hands-on experience with DC power systems, battery
management, and power electronics. Strong understanding of sensor
integration, including IMUs, encoders, and hall sensors.
Familiarity with low-level communication protocols such as RS-485,
CAN, and SPI. Experience with hardware design, PCB layout, and
debugging. Proficiency in power electronics design, including motor
drivers and circuit design. Excellent problem-solving skills and
ability to handle system-level challenges. Base Salary Range
$100,000 - $300,000 USD
