Job Description:
Intrinsic is an AI robotics group at Google aiming to reimagine
the potential of industrial robotics. Our team believes that
advances in AI, perception and simulation will redefine what’s
possible for industrial robotics in the near future – with software
and data at the core. Our mission is to make industrial robotics
intelligent, accessible, and usable for millions more businesses,
entrepreneurs, and developers. We are a dynamic team of engineers,
roboticists, designers, and technologists who are passionate about
unlocking the creative and economic potential of industrial
robotics. Role As a Staff Robotics Software Engineer and
Researcher, you will take full technical ownership of developing
and deploying robotics grasping and manipulation algorithms,
leading the end-to-end lifecycle from foundational research to
global deployment. You will help define the architecture and
long-term strategy that enables robots to interact with the
physical world, researching and scoping innovative solutions for
robust grasping in industrial settings. By abstracting the inherent
complexity of robotic manipulation into intuitive workflows, you
will work with a multidisciplinary team to integrate and validate
high-availability software within complex, real-world industrial
applications for manufacturing environments. How your work moves
the mission forward Design and implement robust and efficient
production-ready algorithms for robotic grasping and manipulation.
Identify opportunities to apply cutting-edge advancements in
robotics and apply them to practical industrial problems. Transform
complex partner requirements into highly reliable and functional
technical outcomes. Mentor junior engineers, contribute to the
strategic roadmap and drive the evolution of our robotic software
stack for global industrial deployment. Skills you will need to be
successful Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, or a
related field, with 8 years of experience in robotic manipulation.
2 years of leading substantial, ambiguous technical projects from
inception to deployment. Strong foundational knowledge in linear
algebra, spatial transformations, and rigid body dynamics. 6 years
of professional experience programming robotics software in C++ and
Python, with a proven track record of shipping production-quality
code. Experience Machine Learning in applied robotics context.
Skills that will differentiate your candidacy PhD in Robotics and
Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning, or a related field with a
focus on robotic manipulation. ML Frameworks: Deep expertise with
JAX, TensorFlow, or PyTorch. Experience in developing the entire
stack: ranging from writing kinematics, motion generation, to
system integration and testing. In addition to the salary range
below, this full-time position is eligible for bonus equity
