Internship Google Robotics Engineer Jobs in Seattle, WA

Our organization in Amazon Robotics builds robots that perform contact-rich manipulation safely and reliably in complex, unstructured environments at Amazon scale. Our scientists and engineers push the boundaries of robotic manipulation to handle unparalleled object diversity with the high level of assurance our customers expect. We learn from real-world data at a scale that few teams in robotics can access.
We are seeking a Software Development Engineer to accelerate a small team advancing reinforcement learning for manipulation. You will drive the software path from a trained policy to reliable execution on real robots, and build the tooling and automation that help the team run and scale experiments. You will create new tools and pipelines while leveraging existing work from adjacent teams to move fast and scale quickly. You will help get learned policies running on hardware, in real time, and turn promising research results into capabilities that run robustly on physical robots. You will join a small team whose mission reaches beyond any single product: to pick and stow billions of items across many future robotics applications.
Key job responsibilities
- Build the tooling and automation the team needs to run and scale experiments, automate evaluation, and move data where it needs to go. Leverage existing solutions where they exist, but develop novel systems when required.
- Partner with scientists to get learned policies running in real time on robot hardware, and help close performance and latency gaps.
- Identify and remove the recurring engineering bottlenecks that slow the team down.
- Write production-quality code and build systems the team can rely on and reuse.
- Partner with teams across simulation, control, hardware, and infrastructure to scale reliably and quickly.
