## Job description

### Minimum qualifications

PhD degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience. Experience contributing to research communities or efforts, including publishing papers at conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, CoRL, ICML, ICLR). Experience working with simulators and robots.

### Preferred qualifications

Experience training neural networks using large datasets or simulation to improve real robot behavior. Experience in robot manipulation. Experience with Python programming. About the job We believe there are many problems in the world in which robotics could play a significant role in making it easier, faster and safer for people to get things done. We’re looking for roboticists, designers, hardware and software engineers to help us explore these possibilities, develop breakthrough technologies, and build new products that could help millions of people.

At DeepMind Robotics, we are pioneering the integration of AI into the physical world to power an era of physical agents. By enabling robots to perceive, plan, think, use tools, and act, we empower them to solve increasingly tasks. In this role, you will focus on building foundation models, such as advanced vision-language-action (VLA) models, which combine Gemini’s world understanding with physical actions to provide direct robotic control.

These include Gemini Robotics, our most advanced Gemini model for the physical world, and Gemini Robotics On-Device, our fastest Gemini model that functions without a data network. These models allow robots to perform a broad range of tasks, respond interactively to their environment, achieve high dexterity, and reason over long, multi-step sequences. Beyond model building, we are committed to advancing general-purpose robotics, specifically in areas like agentic reasoning, real-world understanding, action generalization, human-robot interaction, dexterity, whole-body control, and continual learning.

To deploy these innovations at scale, you will partner with key robotics companies to bring this intelligence to the physical world across a broad array of applications.
