About the role
- The role is in person in San Francisco, with regular time at our Fremont factory.
- 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting, with a big share of it hiring hardware (mechanical, electrical, firmware, manufacturing, test, supply chain or technician roles) at companies that ship physical products.
Responsibilities
- Be an owner: hardware recruiting at Pi is yours to build. Build it like you want it. Own every search end to end, from mapping who has actually shipped robots, vehicles, drones and devices at volume to closing them yourself.
- Run two motions at once: hand-pick the few dozen people who could own a subsystem, and build a funnel that hires technicians and factory talent every week.
- Design interview processes: build loops with our hiring managers that test real work, like prototyping exercises and hands-on trials, and keep interviewers calibrated.
- Be a partner, be a peer: recruiting at Pi is not a service org.
- Be a builder: design bespoke closing strategies.
- Build in the open too: we're a small recruiting team that shares pipelines, tools and referrals, and your playbook should make the rest of us better.
Requirements
- Familiarity with AI-powered recruiting tools and automation workflows.
- Have an opinion: you are the expert.
- A network you can use on day one.
- You can name the first ten people you'd call for our open roles, and they'll pick up.
- Tell us which, and show us you can carry the other.
- A high bar you can explain.
Skills
- Physical Intelligence is bringing general-purpose AI into the physical world.
Benefits
- Play the long game: great hardware people rarely leave in the middle of a build.
- You know a design engineer from a manufacturing engineer, what EVT/DVT/PVT means for someone's willingness to leave, and how a great PCBA supply manager differs from a buyer.
Company info
- The People team at Pi exists to recruit the world's best talent and provide them the tools and context to do their life's best work, removing all barriers, physical or digital, save the immense complexity of the problem at hand.
- The Recruiting team partners directly with founders and technical leaders to design roles, define talent strategy, and close exceptional candidates.
- We operate with a high bar, high transparency, and strong market awareness.
- Urgency. The best hardware people are rarely on the market, and the window between builds is short. We don't wait. We act. "Make it happen" is how we are wired.
