About the role
- The Team The Deployments team is responsible for solving real world problems with our models and robots.
- We tackle the full problem space: integrating with customer workflows, training models to solve their dexterous tasks, and ensuring the on-site reliability of the system.
- This breadth of problem space is why we're a full-stack robotics team - whether it's thinking about customer facing experiences or fine-tuning models for tasks no robot has done before, we put forth the best solution Pi has to offer.
Responsibilities
- Engage with partners to understand use cases and observe robots in deployment contexts.
Skills
- Ability to debug the full stack from perception to control
- Clear communication with researchers, operators, and occasionally partners
- PhD in relevant field
- Intuition for policy training, neural network debugging, and data curation
- Experience with robot manipulation platforms
- clean Python, ability to interface with infrastructure, debugging instincts
- Practical mindset: motivated by making things work, not by open-ended research
- Bonus Points If You Have
Benefits
- Define and shape a vision for what real-world deployments will look like in the long-term
Company info
- Physical Intelligence is bringing general-purpose AI into the physical world. We are a group of engineers, scientists, roboticists, and company builders developing foundation models and learning algorithms to power the robots of today and the physically-actuated devices of the future.
