Senior Mechanical Engineer, Robotics, DeepMind

Google · Mountain View, CA, USA

At Google DeepMind Robotics we are pioneering bringing AI to the physical world. We are powering an era of physical agents, enabling robots to perceive, plan, think, use-tools, and act to better solve complex tasks. We develop advanced Vision Language Action (VLA) models that combine Gemini's world understanding with physical actions to directly control robots. These models include Gemini Robotics (our most advanced Gemini model for the physical world), and Gemini Robotics On-Device (our fastest Gemini model that runs without a data network). We also develop advanced reasoning and agentic systems for the physical world, including: Gemini Robotics-ER, a Gemini agent with advanced spatial understanding and agentic reasoning. These models enable robots to perform a broad range of tasks, respond interactively to their environment, achieve high dexterity, and reason over long multi-step tasks.

We are always focused on advancing the in all areas of general purpose robotics, including agentic reasoning, real world understanding, action generalization, human robot interaction, dexterity, whole-body-control, continual learning, and more. We partner with key robotics companies to bring this intelligence to the physical world across a broad range of applications at scale.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with research and engineering teams to transform conceptual 'visions' into tangible, high-fidelity hardware.

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.
