Staff Research Engineer, Expressive Motion and Believability, DeepMind

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.
