Robotics Software Testing Engineer, Factory Orchestration

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 Robotics Software Testing Engineer, you will collaborate with fellow engineers in maintaining and testing software for robotics, in the domain of industrial factory automation. You will play a key role in ensuring software stability and compatibility, by designing and implementing comprehensive and automated test suites. You will work closely with engineers and stakeholders to design testing pipelines with hardware in-the-loop. You will assist in the upkeep of Open-RMF, interacting with users and the open source community on matters of issues, fixes, and feature requests.

How your work moves the mission forward

• Enable the team to discover, isolate and mitigate issues swiftly.


• Empower the team to deploy with confidence.


• Accelerate the development of robot interoperability and factory orchestration at scale.


• Provide a consistent and reliable testing pipeline to accelerate development, bug reproduction and fixes.

Skills you will need to be successful

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, or Robotics, or equivalent practical experience.


• Familiarity with modern programming practices in C++, Python, or Rust.


• Experience in designing and maintaining software testing pipelines with upstream dependencies and downstream users.
