About this role
As a Senior Robot Animator at Skild AI, you will animate and rig robot motions using software like Maya or Blender, collaborating with robotics and hardware teams to ensure that animations translate effectively from digital to physical robots. Your role will involve creating motion libraries, choreographing performances, and delivering both rendered animations and real-time sequences performed by robots, all while focusing on the nuances of physical movement and mechanics.

Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Skild AI as an employer.
What you need
- 5+ years animating professionally in film/VFX, games, or robotics, or equivalent senior-level experience
- Expert keyframe animation with a strong sense of weight, timing, and body mechanics
- Rigging experience with mechanical or articulated characters: constraints, IK/FK, joint limits, mechanism-accurate setups
- Comfortable cleaning, editing, and retargeting motion capture onto non-human skeletons
Nice to have
- Background working with humanoid or robotic characters in simulation or the real world
- Familiarity with controls/rigid-body dynamics/simulation is a plus
Worth weighing
- Base salary range is quite broad ($100,000 - $300,000), which may indicate variability in compensation based on experience or negotiation
- Role is heavily focused on animation and may not involve broader robotics engineering responsibilities
