Full description from employer

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 Robotics Software Engineer, you will develop and implement robust algorithms to facilitate complex robotic operations in real-world manufacturing environments. Our team is responsible for both motion planning and grasping, with this role dedicated specifically to advancing our grasping capabilities. To succeed, you will bring a strong foundation in robotics—whether from a background in motion planning, control systems, or manipulation—to write excellent, production-quality code. You will help abstract the inherent complexity of robotic tasks into intuitive, seamless workflows, enabling users to transition from design to execution without needing deep subject matter expertise. Working alongside a diverse team of roboticists and application engineers, you will integrate and validate solutions across various industrial tasks and contribute to the launch of impactful robotics products.
