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 Robotics Software Engineer, you will develop
innovative algorithms and strategies to facilitate robust grasping
and manipulation in complex, real-world manufacturing environments.
You will be responsible for abstracting the inherent complexity of
robotic manipulation into intuitive, seamless workflows. By

manufacturing tasks, you enable 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.
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. Improve our robotics
software framework and contribute to a reliable product. Skills you
will need to be successful Master’s degree in Robotics, Computer
Science, or a related field, with 5 years of experience in robotic
manipulation. Strong foundation in linear algebra, spatial
