Senior Robotics Software Engineer, Mobile Robot Orchestration

Singapore

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 Senior Robotics Software Engineer working on mobile robot orchestration, you will collaborate with a diverse team of roboticists and software developers to reimagine how mobile robots make their way through the complex, dynamic world that we live in. You will develop high-performance multi-agent path finding algorithms that enable hundreds to thousands of robots to operate in densely packed factories and warehouses. You will design robust behaviors for fleets of mobile robots to seamlessly interact with automated doors, elevators, and robot workcells. Your work will be deployed in a wide variety of dynamic environments, including factories, warehouses, malls, hospitals, campuses, and commercial buildings. Through close collaboration with the Open Robotics community, you will shape open specifications for mobile robot interoperability.

How your work moves the mission forward

Examine challenging environments and identify strategies for seamless mobile robot traffic.
Develop software tools to make mobile robot traffic behavior easy to understand and debug.
Implement various algorithms for multi-agent path finding and benchmark them across diverse environments.
Build extensible reusable libraries that empower customers to tailor their mobile robot traffic behaviors to their unique scenarios.

Skills you will need to be successful

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, or equivalent practical experience.
Proficiency in systems programming languages such as C++, Python, or Rust.
Demonstrable experience with autonomous mobile robots (such as MiR, OTTO, Geek+).
Expertise in programming reactive software systems.
Experience architecting distributed multi-agent systems using ROS, Zenoh, MQTT, gRPC, or REST APIs.

Skills that will differentiate your candidacy

A Masters or Doctoral degree relevant to mobile robot orchestration.
Peer-reviewed research papers related to multi-agent path finding.
Expertise in the Rust programming language.
Experience deploying large-scale mobile robot traffic systems.
Experience deploying mobile robots in human-centric environments.
Comfort engaging with diverse stakeholders to assimilate broad perspectives and build consensus.
