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 an agile, execution-focused Global Supply Manager to drive hardware procurement, prototype pipeline management, and supply chain execution. You will own key categories of our robot Bill of Materials (BOM)—including actuators, custom electromechanical components, sensors, cameras, and PCBAs. Beyond negotiating long-term contracts, you will be deeply embedded in early hardware development, managing day-to-day order execution and inbound material logistics to keep engineering teams building, testing, and iterating without delay. This role requires 25-40% international travel. Responsibilities Engineering Development Support: Partner closely with R&D, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering teams during early-stage prototyping (Proto/EVT/DVT). Participate in design reviews to drive early supplier involvement, run Design-for-Manufacturability (DFM) feedback loops, and secure long-lead development components. Hands-On Order Execution: Own the tactical end-to-end purchasing process for prototype builds and production runs—building RFQs, issuing POs, tracking shipments, and expediting critical parts to keep pace with fast-moving engineering sprints. Material Handling & Logistics: Oversee initial material receipt, inventory allocation, and local logistics for incoming engineering parts. Coordinate with internal teams and contract manufacturers to ensure raw materials, components, and custom tooling are tracked, kitted, and routed to the correct lab or assembly line. Sourcing & Category Strategy: Own global sourcing strategies for critical robotic hardware categories, including motors, structural components, sensors, custom silicon, and camera modules. NPI to Production Scaling: Transition hardware designs from R&D prototypes to scaled manufacturing with domestic and international partners. Commercial Negotiations: Lead MSAs, SOWs, and unit pricing agreements to optimize total cost of ownership (TCO). Supplier Relationship Management: Build and maintain strategic relationships with key hardware vendors, conducting regular performance reviews to ensure quality, delivery, and cost targets are met. Preferred Qualifications 3-5 years of experience in strategic sourcing, global supply management, or technical procurement within hardware, robotics, consumer electronics, automotive, or aerospace environments. Proven experience supporting engineering teams through early development cycles (EVT/DVT/PVT), including fast-paced prototype sourcing and hands-on order placement (ERP/MRP systems, PO generation, shipment tracking). Direct experience taking electromechanical hardware components or systems from early concept through NPI and into scaled production. Experience managing and negotiating with suppliers across PCBAs, precision machining, sensors, or optical systems. Experience sourcing for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), warehouse automation, or complex humanoid robotic hardware. Ability to read and interpret 2D technical drawings, mechanical GD&T, and electrical schematics. Familiarity with inventory tracking, kitting, and material management practices in an R&D or pilot production setting. Comfort with ambiguity and a builder's mindset to establish supply chain and procurement processes from scratch. BS/BA in Engineering, Supply Chain Management, Business, or a related quantitative field.

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 highly skilled Full Stack Engineer with a specialization in Frontend and Androiddevelopment. In this role, you will build critical interfaces that end customers use to understand the performance of the robotics system in their application, operators use to deploy and manage fleets of robots, and operators and engineers use for debugging. You will bridge the gap between complex robotic intelligence and the user experience for our commercial partners. You will be responsible for designing and implementing high-performance applications that render real-time 3D environments, telemetry, and maps. Because our robots operate in diverse and challenging customer environments, you will architect solutions that are resilient to poor network conditions or complete disconnection. We are looking for an engineer with a background in graphics or gaming who understands the intricacies of rendering and state management at scale. Responsibilities Architect and Build Scalable Interfaces: Design and develop responsive, high-performance web and Android applications that serve as the primary interface for monitoring and controlling robotic fleets. 3D & Map Rendering: Implement complex visualization tools in the browser and on mobile devices, rendering large-scale maps, point clouds, and 3D environments to visualize robot perception in real-time. Resilient Networking: Engineer robust data synchronization layers that handle network-denied environments or intermittent connectivity, ensuring seamless operation and data integrity when robots go offline. Full Stack Development: Work across the stack, with a heavy emphasis on TypeScript/JavaScript for frontend logic and integration with backend services and robotic APIs. Performance Optimization: Profile and optimize rendering pipelines and application logic to ensure smooth performance on varied hardware, from high-end workstations to mobile field devices. Collaboration: Work closely with robotics researchers, ML engineers, and infrastructure teams to define APIs and data formats that support rich, real-time visualization. Basic Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript Experience with React and modern frontend development Understanding of backend development principles Knowledge of database design and management Experience with containerization (Docker) Familiarity with CI/CD principles Basic understanding of cloud services Preferred Qualifications Strong Industry Experience: A proven track record of building and shipping complex, user-facing products at scale. Expert TypeScript/JavaScript Skills: Deep proficiency in modern JS ecosystems (React, Vue, or similar) and state management. Android Development: Solid experience building native or high-performance cross-platform Android applications. Graphics or Gaming Background: Experience with WebGL, Pixi, Three.js, OpenGL, or game engines (Unity/Unreal). You understand how to render 3D geometry and handle high-frame-rate visualizations in a browser or mobile context. Indoor Mapping & Spatial Data: Experience rendering complex indoor environments and floor plans. Familiarity with spatial data structures and libraries suitable for indoor navigation and visualization, rather than traditional outdoor geospatial mapping. Offline-First Architecture: Demonstrated ability to build systems that function reliably in network-constrained environments (CRDTs, local-first databases, optimistic UI updates). Systems Thinking: Ability to understand the full flow of data from a robot sensor to a user's screen. Create a Job Alert Interested in building your career at Skild AI?
