Frontend Robotics Engineer

Mountain View, California

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 Frontend Robotics Engineer on our Customer Success team, you will act as the crucial bridge between our core technology and our customers and partners. You will help design, build, and customize Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) that empower our partners to deploy complex robotic automation systems.

In this role, you will take existing reference solutions and customize them for specific customer use cases, adding new features, controls, and 3D visualizations. We are looking for a "T-shaped" developer: an engineer with deep expertise in building web interfaces, coupled with the ability to navigate backend systems in Python and C++. While you will have the support of dedicated backend engineers to build core infrastructure, you should be entirely comfortable navigating backend code to understand and debug data flows, trace API endpoints, and collaborate effectively across the stack. You will need to be familiar with how data travels from hardware to software and have a solid understanding of network systems. Additionally, you will work directly with customers and partners to guide their development and get hands-on with physical robotics hardware to ensure your interfaces work flawlessly in the real world.

How your work moves the mission forward

  • Collaborate directly with customers/partners to understand their specific use cases and customize reference HMIs to meet their product needs.
  • Develop visually rich, user-friendly web applications that allow non-experts to interact with, monitor, and control industrial robotic workcells.
  • Bridge the technical gap for customers by guiding them through frontend development best practices and helping them eventually own their custom HMI services.
  • Integrate complex features, such as real-time 3D visualizations and process data, partnering seamlessly with backend engineers to wire up new data streams.
  • Work hands-on in the lab and in the field with physical robots, hardware, and automation equipment to test and validate your software interfaces.
  • Create and maintain an accessible system of reusable frontend components in collaboration with our Design team.

Skills you will need to be successful

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 3+ years of professional experience in frontend web application development and design, with deep expertise in Angular, TypeScript, and Three.js.
  • Experience building visually rich, user-friendly client-side applications that enable complex interactions.
  • Backend Confidence: A strong ability to collaborate with backend teams - you should be comfortable navigating codebases in Go, C++, or Python and understanding data structures to trace data flows and unblock frontend integration tasks.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to collaborate directly with customers or external partners.
  • A strong willingness and excitement to work hands-on with physical hardware and robotic systems (no prior robotics experience strictly required, but curiosity is a must).

Skills that will differentiate your candidacy

  • Familiarity with industrial automation, robotics, manufacturing, or human-machine interface (HMI) design.
  • Experience with 3D graphics and visualization libraries in a web context (e.g., WebGL).
  • Familiarity with server-side (Go, C++, gRPC, etc.) software.
  • Previous experience in a Customer Success, Solutions Engineering, Developer Relations, or forward-deployed engineering role.

In addition to the salary range below, this full-time position is eligible for bonus + equity + benefits. Your recruiter will share more about the specific salary range + bonus + equity for your targeted location and role during the hiring process.

As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
