Frontend Robotics Engineer

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 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 Frontend Robotics Engineer on our Customer Success team you will act as the crucial bridge between our core technology and our customers and partners. You will help design build and customize Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) that empower our partners to deploy complex robotic automation systems.

In this role you will take existing reference solutions and customize them for specific customer use cases adding new features controls and 3D visualizations. We are looking for a T-shaped developer: an engineer with deep expertise in building web interfaces coupled with the ability to navigate backend systems in Python and C. While you will have the support of dedicated backend engineers to build core infrastructure you should be entirely comfortable navigating backend code to understand and debug data flows trace API endpoints and collaborate effectively across the stack. You will need to be familiar with how data travels from hardware to software and have a solid understanding of network systems. Additionally you will work directly with customers and partners to guide their development and get hands-on with physical robotics hardware to ensure your interfaces work flawlessly in the real world.

How your work moves the mission forward

• Collaborate directly with customers/partners to understand their specific use cases and customize reference HMIs to meet their product needs.
• Develop visually rich user-friendly web applications that allow non-experts to interact with monitor and control industrial robotic workcells.
• Bridge the technical gap for customers by guiding them through frontend development best practices and helping them eventually own their custom HMI services.
• Integrate complex features such as real-time 3D visualizations and process data partnering seamlessly with backend engineers to wire up new data streams.
• Work hands-on in the lab and in the field with physical robots hardware and automation equipment to test and validate your software interfaces.
• Create and maintain an accessible system of reusable frontend components in collaboration with our Design team.

Skills you will need to be successful

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science Software Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
• 3 years of professional experience in frontend web application development and design with deep expertise in Angular TypeScript and .
• Experience building visually rich user-friendly client-side applications that enable complex interactions.
• Backend Confidence: A strong ability to collaborate with backend teams - you should be comfortable navigating codebases in Go C or Python and understanding data structures to trace data flows and unblock frontend integration tasks.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a proven ability to collaborate directly with customers or external partners.
• A strong willingness and excitement to work hands-on with physical hardware and robotic systems (no prior robotics experience strictly required but curiosity is a must).

Skills that will differentiate your candidacy

• Familiarity with industrial automation robotics manufacturing or human-machine interface (HMI) design.
• Experience with 3D graphics and visualization libraries in a web context (e.g. WebGL).
• Familiarity with server-side (Go C gRPC etc.) software.
• Previous experience in a Customer Success Solutions Engineering Developer Relations or forward-deployed engineering role.
