About the role
Physical Intelligence is bringing general-purpose AI into the physical world with a full-stack robotics approach. The Deployments team solves real-world problems with models and robots, integrating with customer workflows, training models for dexterous tasks, and ensuring on-site reliability.
Responsibilities
- Deploy and debug learned policies on physical robots, diagnosing failures across the full stack (perception, policy, control, hardware)
- Train and tune policies, curate data, and iterate to improve real-world performance
- Write production-quality code that interfaces with Pi’s infrastructure
- Work with operators to set up tests, evals, and data collection pipelines
- Engage with partners to understand use cases and observe robots in deployment contexts
- Bridge research and operations: translate research advances into deployable systems, and surface real-world failure modes back to researchers and (software and hardware!) engineers
- Define and shape a vision for what real-world deployments will look like in the long-term
Qualifications
- Hands-on experience deploying robots or autonomous systems in real-world environments
- Strong engineering skills: clean Python, ability to interface with infrastructure, debugging instincts
- Ability to debug the full stack from perception to control
- Practical mindset: motivated by making things work, not by open-ended research
- Clear communication with researchers, operators, and occasionally partners
