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 Software Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and developing modern web applications that provide the primary interface for interacting with robotic workcells on the manufacturing floor. Our goal is to make complex automation accessible by providing intuitive yet powerful interfaces that bridge the gap between human operators and physical hardware.

In this role, you will be responsible for developing human-robot user interfaces (HMIs) and optimizing the performance of client-side rendering and server-side integration. You will develop the full stack of web interfaces for end-to-end robotics tasks, from real-time 3D visualizations of workcells to the control logic that drives them. Your work moves beyond standard CRUD-based web applications; the interfaces you build will directly control physical robots on an assembly line, shaping both our product and the role of the human within it. You will help transition the HMI from a manual dashboard into an intelligent partner that assists operators with troubleshooting, programming, and optimization.

You are a developer who thrives on technical precision and rapid iteration. You are comfortable owning critical pieces of the user experience, making UI design decisions that prioritize the operator, and collaborating across Product, Design, and Engineering teams to ensure our software is as robust as the hardware it controls.

How your work moves the mission forward

Implement responsive UIs using modern frameworks and reactive design patterns to handle real-time telemetry from robotic systems and prioritize operator safety and workflow efficiency.
Develop and optimize 3D visualizations, ensuring smooth performance and accurate rendering of manufacturing environments.
Engineer resilient web applications that provide a reliable experience across factory floor devices, ensuring high availability even in variable network conditions.
Prototype and integrate AI agents into HMI workflows to assist operators with real-time decision-making and error recovery.
Integrate frontend services with backend systems using gRPC and Protobuf to ensure seamless, low-latency data communication.
Verify code quality through comprehensive unit and integration testing while managing complex builds via Bazel and CI/CD pipelines.

Skills you will need to be successful

A minimum of 3 years of professional experience with modern web application development (Typescript, Angular/React) and a deep understanding of efficient state management and UI performance optimization.
Proficiency in low-level APIs (WebGL/WebGPU) or high-performance engines (Three.js, Babylon.js, or Bevy) and deep understanding of the GPU pipeline.
Experience utilizing service workers and caching strategies for offline-first reliability.
Experience with Bazel build systems and proficiency in gRPC and client-server communication.
Ability to write comprehensive unit and integration tests using Jasmine (or similar) and a solid understanding of automated testing within CI/CD workflows.
Ability to read and understand backend codebases in Python or C++ to trace data flows and unblock frontend integration tasks.

Skills that will differentiate your candidacy

Experience with WebAssembly (WASM) and/or Rust.
A strong willingness and excitement to work with physical AI and robotic systems.
Ability to analyze and optimize web app performance, ensuring interface cohesion across different client hardware and network bandwidths.
A track record of iterating quickly on features based on direct feedback from internal teams or clients.
Previous exposure to designing interfaces for industrial automation, robotics, or hardware control systems.
