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 Software Engineer in the Perception team, you will apply your strong skills in software engineering, deep learning, 3D computer vision to implement, optimize and deploy robust and reliable perception capabilities for industrial robots. You will be instrumental in developing and deploying advanced AI models for object detection, object pose estimation, 3D reconstruction, and grasping. Your work will enable robots to intelligently interact with their environment in real-world industrial settings, translating cutting‑edge deep learning research into robust, deployable solutions that make industrial robotics more intelligent and accessible.

How your work moves the mission forward

• Develop and implement robust deep learning models for 3D computer vision tasks, including object detection, object pose estimation, and 3D reconstruction.
• Optimize and deploy algorithms for reliable grasping and manipulation in complex industrial robotics environments.
• Enhance robot perception capabilities, enabling more complex and reliable interactions in dynamic manufacturing settings.
• Contribute to the design, implementation and documentation of core perception software skills within Intrinsic’s platform.
• Support users in applying perception skills in production applications.

Skills you will need to be successful

• A 4 year degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a closely related technical field.
• 1‑2 years of experience in AI, machine learning, computer vision, or robotics, with a strong focus on deep learning, including transformer based models.
• Demonstrated experience with deploying computer vision, along with at least one of the following topics: object detection, 6dof pose estimation, or 3D reconstruction.
• Proficiency in at least one modern deep learning framework (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX).
• Strong programming skills in Python or C++.

Skills that will differentiate your candidacy

• Expertise in computer vision and robotics.
• Experience with GPU kernel programming in CUDA.
• Experience with optimizing or quantizing ML models for deployment.
• Experience developing algorithms for robotic perception, grasping and/or manipulation.
