Job Summary
Intrinsic is Alphabets bet aiming to reimagine the potential of industrial robotics. Our team believes that advances in AI perception and simulation will redefine whats 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 researcher in robotics/AI you will have the opportunity to join our R&D team working on novel robotics capabilities that have impact in real world applications. You will work alongside a team of researchers and engineers developing novel machine learning reinforcement learning and foundation models for AI-enabled robotics capabilities in the areas of robot manipulation robot perception and robot motion planning. With the broader engineering team and industrial partners your work will bring promising prototypes to real world practical applications. Our team works closely with researchers at Google DeepMind Robotics Universities and other research labs to bring solutions to the real world. You should be excited to work with new technologies as you discover creative solutions to new meaningful problems applying AI in robotics.
How your work moves the mission forward
- Develop new motion planning approaches for single and multi-robot planning starting from existing prototypes.
- Exploit advances in machine learning (e.g. graph nets deep-learning transformer models etc.) for developing novel data-driven motion planning systems.
- Implement state of the art algorithms and libraries in Python C and Jax.
- Bring problems from industrial partners to functional new solutions with very high reliability and performance.
- Distill recent robotics/ML research publications for target problems and implement promising solutions.
Skills you will need to be successful
- Masters in Computer Science Robotics or equivalent with practical experience in robotics and machine learning.
- Be knowledgeable and comfortable in working with physical simulations (e.g. Gazebo Bullet MuJoCo IsaacSim etc.) to implement motion planning/machine learning algorithms.
- At least 2 years of experience in one or more of: motion planning for robotics classical robot motion planning (e.g. RRTs PRMs) machine learning/deep learning
- Solid Experience programming in C Python and ideally Jax.
- Must have research experience in a related field and at least one high-quality publication in a peer-reviewed academic journal/conference
Skills that will differentiate your candidacy
- PhD in Robotics Computer Science or a similar technical field.
- Experience with the design and implementation of large complex machine learning algorithms with large amounts of data and highly parallelized algorithms.
- 4 years of applied experience in machine learning for robotics motion planning.
In addition to the salary range below this full-time position is eligible for bonus equity benefits. Your recruiter will share more about the specific salary range bonus equity for your targeted location and role during the hiring process.
