Snapshot

Artificial Intelligence could be one of humanity’s most useful inventions. At Google Deep Mind, we’re a team of scientists, engineers, machine learning experts and more, working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, and collaborate with others on critical challenges, ensuring safety and ethics are the highest priority.

About Us

We are looking for Research Scientists to join the Robotics team whose mission is to build “Embodied AI” - a robot brain capable of whole-body, dexterous, general and useful physical actions - to improve the lives of billions of people in the physical world.

The Role

Research Scientists work on a diverse and stimulating range of projects including: inventing algorithms and prototype applications, working with real robots in the lab and outside the lab tackling real world use cases. Research Scientists work in large collaborative teams to make cutting edge breakthroughs to advance Robotics AI. We believe large foundation models will transform general purpose Robotics like with our Gemini Robotics models. This role will involve working with a diverse multi-functional team that builds the future of robotics.

Key responsibilities:

• Design, implement, train and evaluate large models and algorithms for robotic agents. Make breakthroughs and unlock new robot capabilities.

• Write software to implement research ideas and iterate quickly.

• Leverage your expertise to participate in a wide variety of research: learning from simulation, reinforcement learning, learning from demonstrations, vision-language-action models, transformers, video generation, robot control, humanoid robots and more.

• Work effectively with a large collaborative team with fast-paced agendas to meet ambitious research goals.

• Generate creative ideas, set up experiments and test hypotheses. Report and present research findings clearly and efficiently both internally and externally.

About You

In order to set you up for success as a Research Scientist at Google Deep Mind, we look for the following skills and experience:

• PhD in a technical field or equivalent practical experience.

• Knowledge of the latest in large machine learning research.

In addition, the following would be an advantage:

• Experience working with simulators and real-world robots.

• Expertise in using large datasets with deep neural networks to make real robots useful.

• A real passion for AI impacting real world robots!

The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $166,000 - $244,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your targeted location during the hiring process.
