Menlo Ventures
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’re looking for a Technical Animator to help bring our robotic simulations to life. In this role, you’ll work closely with the simulation, perception, and autonomy teams to develop high‑fidelity motion systems and animations for human and robot avatars. Your work will directly support model training and evaluation, helping us generate realistic motion data to train large‑scale neural networks
Responsibilities
Build high-quality motion capture systems
Collaborate with robotics teams to synthesize realistic robot motions
Collaborate with ML teams to develop state‑of‑the‑art techniques for motion generation
Design and build pipelines for processing animation data
Preferred Qualifications
3+ years of industry experience in technical animation, game development, VFX, or simulation
Competence in building accurate motion capture systems
Strong foundation in rigging, character animation, and physics-based motion systems
Familiarity with deep‑learning based motion synthesis techniques
Background working with humanoid or robotic characters in simulation
Base Salary Range $100,000 — $300,000 USD
