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 talented simulation engineers to create expansive simulated
worlds to scale up robotic experience. You will have a dual focus:
designing high-level virtual environments and enhancing low-level
simulator software. This role requires a blend of technical
expertise and collaborative skills, as you will work closely with
our machine learning engineers and researchers. We are looking for
candidates with diverse backgrounds, including game development,
CGI artistry, animation, and interior design, who are passionate
about turning their virtual creations into impactful real-world
applications. Responsibilities Design visually and physically
realistic diverse scenes. Create new, specialized simulators
optimized for high throughput, high fidelity data. Work with our ML
and research team to deploy and/or improve simulators. Preferred
Qualifications BS, MS or higher degree in Computer Science,
Robotics, Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical
experience. Proficiency in programming languages such as Python,
C++, or similar. Deep understanding of commonly used physics engine
simulators for robotics. Technical understanding of different
components of a simulation - graphics, physics, etc. Experience in
game development, CGI, or animation. Knowledge of robot design,
controls, and robot hardware. Experience in inverse rendering or
