Skildai Careers; San Mateo; On-site; PHP 11,285,000 - 15,047,000; Full time

Job summary

Skild AI is building advanced robotics hardware and seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to own electrical system integration across robotics platforms. You will bridge software/firmware and kinematic control, while establishing grounding, shielding, and EMI practices from concept through production.

You will design power electronics, validate motor drives, and collaborate across EE, ME, firmware, and manufacturing to ensure robust, scalable hardware solutions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or related field.
• Hands‑on experience taking electrical hardware from concept through validation and production.
• Hands‑on EMC/EMI design, debugging, and test on complex hardware.
• Strong knowledge of grounding, shielding, filtering, signal integrity, and power integrity.
• Proficiency in power electronics design, motor drives, switching power, high‑current DC systems, battery management, and analog circuit design.
• Strong sensor integration experience with IMUs, encoders, hall sensors, and cameras.
• Experience with RF systems, antenna integration, coexistence, and impedance control.
• Strong PCB design and layout with a system‑level approach to EMC problems.
• Familiarity with communication protocols and interfaces such as GMSL, CAN, Ethernet, USB, SPI, I2C, and RS‑485.
• Comfortable debugging in the lab, modifying hardware, and building quick test fixtures.
• Strong judgment and ability to make decisions with incomplete or changing requirements.
• Able to communicate tradeoffs clearly and drive decisions across multiple disciplines.

Responsibilities

• Develop, test, and validate power and sensor electronics systems
• Design and validate motor driver circuits and power electronics systems
• Integrate and fuse sensor data, including IMUs, encoders, hall sensors, and temperature sensors at the PCB level
• Define grounding, bonding, shielding, filtering, and cable strategies across the robot
• Identify EMC risks early and drive practical mitigations before they become late-stage issues
• Debug EMC and hardware issues using scopes, spectrum analyzers, probes, LISNs, network analyzers, and other lab equipment
• Make system‑level tradeoffs across performance, risk, cost, schedule, and manufacturability
• Partner across EE, ME, firmware, controls, systems, manufacturing, and external labs and consultants
• Document design processes and contribute to hardware best practices
