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 a Machine Learning Engineer to be responsible for designing and implementing cutting-edge reinforcement learning algorithms, conducting experiments, and optimizing these models to perform efficiently in real-world robotic environments. This will require close collaboration with our robotics, research, and engineering team. Your work will directly impact the development of intelligent, adaptable robots capable of learning and performing complex tasks autonomously.
