About the job

As a Research Engineer on the Companion Robots team, you will train expressive, emotionally legible motion - including gait, gaze, posture, and gesture that change visibly with the robot's internal state - and develop the metrics to evaluate its effectiveness. You will work directly with animators and character designers, utilizing their expertise as a tuning pass and training signal, while building the evaluation harness required to compare behaviors, models, and robot platforms. Furthermore, you will collaborate with our state-of-the-art video generation and interaction models, such as Omni or Code Genie, to create systems capable of generating real-time expressive behavior in response to stimuli and internal motivations.

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.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $207000 - $300000 (USD) + 20% bonus target + equity + benefits

Responsibilities

Work with omni/omni-live to extract animation, fine tune models to generate real time behavior and expression in response to stimulus and internal motivation of the character.
Design, train and evaluate reinforcement learning and imitation learning algorithms for lifelike movement, gaze and posture, conditioned on the robot's affective and motivational state.
Work with animators to convert a library of hand-authored reference motion into style-conditioned policies, using adversarial motion priors and related techniques, so that character can be authored rather than hand-tuned.
Create scenario suites, batch simulation, video capture, and automated critics that assess behavior reads correct to an observer.
Run paired human comparisons with designers and human-factors partners, and report how well automated critics correlate with human judgment.
