Experience deploying the above models and algorithms on real-world systems. Experience implementing large-scale systems and working with large real world data. A passion for bringing research from the lab to real-world robotic systems. About the job As a part of this role, you will lead our efforts in developing novel algorithms and models for embodied AI and Artificial General Intelligence as we are looking for creative thinkers with strong algorithm-design and programming skills that want to build the next-generation of AI agents for and grounded in the physical world. You will work in collaborative teams to invent algorithms and innovate on large foundation models such as Gemini Robotics. You will design prototype applications and work with real robots inside and outside the lab to address real-world use cases, strong algorithmic background in scalable machine learning (e.g. reinforcement learning/imitation learning; multimodal foundation models) and experience with real robots/robot simulation and large-scale training setups are valued. In this role, you will have experience with approaches for mid-/post-training for robotics foundation models, including reinforcement learning and related techniques that enable agents to self-improve and achieve mastery, including experience with the use of Reinforcement Learning (RL) to train robot policies in simulation and in the real world. You will have experience with such techniques in the context of general multimodal frontier models (e.g. LLMs, VLMs, video models) and agentic systems are also highly valued. Artificial intelligence will be one of humanity’s most transformative inventions. At Google DeepMind, we are a pioneering AI lab with exceptional interdisciplinary teams focused on advancing AI development to solve complex global challenges and accelerate high-quality product innovation for billions of users. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, ensuring safety and ethics are always our highest priority. We are pushing the boundaries across multiple domains. Our global teams offer diverse learning opportunities and varied career pathways for those driven to achieve exceptional results through collective effort. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Not stated - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 23, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 30, 2026 - Listed for: 7 days - Location: London, UK[Apply on Alphabet’s careers site →](https://www.google.com/about/careers/applications/jobs/results/90064879599133382-research-scientist-robotics-rl-deepmind) ## Hiring at Alphabet - Open jobs: 3,591 - New in the last 7 days: After two weekly collections - Tracked since: Aug 20, 2026 [All Alphabet jobs](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/alphabet/) · [Weekly hiring report](/reports/hiring/) ## More jobs at Alphabet ### [Biologist, DeepMind](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/alphabet/jobs/e61ac62d4d576c99cb3a/) London, UK ### [Frontier Safety Mitigations Research Engineer, DeepMind](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/alphabet/jobs/4e0b5e2e67787fdf38ab/) London, UK ### [Lead Research Engineer, Bioresilience, DeepMind](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/alphabet/jobs/e38a55e5e0fcb0f67187/) London, UK ### [Research Collaboration Lead, DeepMind, DeepMind Institute](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/alphabet/jobs/f379ff6a13b1c1e2ec57/) London, UK ### [Research Engineer, Bioresilience, DeepMind](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/alphabet/jobs/a31904683b7fa2aed215/) London, UK ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Research Scientist Intern – Robotics, World Models & Embodied AI (PhD)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/meta-platforms/jobs/11c8708993cf1a9ec808/) Meta Platforms · London, UK ### [(Senior) Research Scientist (f/m/d) – Industrial Service Robotics (80-100%)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/abb/jobs/6ef800997becacd834dc/) ABB · Mannheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany ### [Research Scientist Intern, Robotics - Meta Reality Labs Research (PhD)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/meta-platforms/jobs/660277c0c6c5f2f1a9f1/) Meta Platforms · Zurich, Switzerland ### [Research Scientist, Robotics Control](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/chery-automobile/jobs/6b78221d5db48fdb92eb/) Chery Automobile · 美国, 加利福尼亚, 旧金山 +3 more ### [Shrimp Senior Research Scientist](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/cargill/jobs/e27afe3bd9ea6adc50b5/) Cargill · Guayaquil, Ecuador OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
