Job Summary

Job Title: Physical AI Engineer (Robotics & Agentic Systems)
We are looking for an engineer to build the Physical AI solutions using Robotics and edge devices on Google stack. You will integrate Deepmind Robotics model with Gemini 3 foundation models to create autonomous agents that perceive, reason, and act in dynamic industrial environments. Your work will involve moving Physical AI from simulation (MuJoCo-Warp) to production-grade hardware at scale.

Key Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities
•    Model Integration: Deploy Gemini Robotics-ER (Embodied Reasoning) models to enable robots to understand natural language instructions and physical causality.
•    Workflow Orchestration: Utilize the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform to build agentic workflows that connect cloud-based reasoning with edge-based execution.
•    Simulation & Training: Use MuJoCo-Warp and G4 VMs (NVIDIA Blackwell) to run high-fidelity simulations, generating synthetic data to train robots on complex edge cases. 
•    Hardware Abstraction: Work within Intrinsic Flowstate to develop hardware-agnostic "Skills" (robotic behaviors) that can be deployed across various robotic arms and sensors (Universal Robots, Foxconn, etc.).
•    System Optimization: Implement the JAX AI Stack (JAX, Flax, Optax) for efficient, accelerator-oriented computation on Google TPUs and NVIDIA GPUs.
