Intrinsic, Alphabet’s initiative, aims to reimagine the potential of industrial robotics by leveraging AI, perception, and simulation to redefine what is possible in industrial robotics, with software and data at the core.
Requirements
- Proven track record developing and deploying industrial robotics solutions and automation systems within manufacturing or production environments.
- Professional programming proficiency with C++ and/or Python, emphasizing Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and high-quality software practices.
- Practical experience building I/O interfaces and integrating systems with industrial protocols or manufacturing execution systems.
- Demonstrated capability in technical leadership, including setting project direction and guiding development efforts towards successful outcomes.
- Experience with ROS 2 and its major frameworks.
- Demonstrated ability developing and deploying applications using technologies such as Kubernetes, gRPC, Protobuf, Bazel, microservice architectures, and/or real-time systems.
- Experience in the lateral integration of AI/ML models for complex robotic tasks, such as dexterous manipulation.
Responsibilities
- Lead the technical development of advanced robotics solutions and automation systems for manufacturing environments, utilizing the Intrinsic platform.
- Design, implement, test, and maintain high-quality software features to expand the Intrinsic platform's capabilities, with a focus on modularity and scalable architecture.
- Own the development of cell-level features, including the integration of robotics solutions with factory-level orchestration and local data collection engines.
- Document designs, processes, and results, communicating effectively with internal technical teams and development partners.
- Collaborate closely with our industry partners to successfully deploy developed robotics solutions and automation systems into production manufacturing settings.
Other
- Master’s degree or equivalent practical background in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related technical field.
- Excellent collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with internal cross-functional teams and external technical partners.
