UX/UI Designer – Fleet Command & Robot Management

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.

We’re building the command layer for a new generation of intelligent robots.

As our first UX/UI design hire, you will define how humans command, deploy, and collaborate with autonomous systems in the physical world. You will own the experience for fleet command of distributed, sensor-equipped robotic systems operating in real environments. This is mission-critical software that enables non-experts to operate intelligent machines, not a fleet dashboard with status icons. Customers will rely on what you design to monitor, deploy, coordinate, and intervene across their robot installations. 

Beyond fleet command, you will architect a radically simplified deployment experience: a true “unbox, power on, connect, deploy” journey via app or tablet. Our ambition is to eliminate heavy pilots and prolonged engagements by making robot activation intuitive, guided, and production-ready from day one.

This is a zero-to-one role with expanding scope. You will set the design standard for the company and establish deployment and command UX as a strategic advantage for Skild AI.
