About the job
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.
Responsibilities
You will develop a web application given initial mocks and backend services. This application will allow users to author a robot solution from multi-modal prompts. In the short term you will contribute towards an in-progress research prototype. In the long term you will drive the conversion of this prototype into a production-grade application.
We believe generative AI enables all users to rapidly generate individually customized web experiences. As a long-term research project, you will build a frontend that can be customized via conversational prompts and composed of pre-existing (and AI-generated) web components, all backed by the end-to-end Intrinsic platform.
This is a hands-on role: your day-to-day work will involve planning and roadmapping a greenfield project while also spending the majority of your time designing, developing, and iterating on code. Your technical leadership and developer skills will be necessary to scope projects and to deliver them in phases. You will work closely with a sub-team within Intrinsic R&D, but will also frequently collaborate with other engineering, product, and UX groups within Intrinsic.
Qualifications
Minimum
6+ years of experience launching and iterating on large web frontends working with multiple with multiple stakeholders, while making practical trade-offs and phased deliverables
Proficiency with TypeScript and at least one popular framework/library (Angular, React, Lit, etc.)
Proficiency with browser-native technologies and infrastructure (e.g. web workers, safely hosting user data/code, client-side AI in Chrome)
Experience using LLMs for structured content generation
Preferred
Strong interest in improving the accessibility of robotics, especially for automated manufacturing.
Past or current research experience (PhD in Computer Science or equivalent), especially in building innovative interfaces.
Startup (or similar) experience --- building the 0 to 1 in a rapidly changing technical landscape.
