About this role

Applied Researcher San Francisco, California, United States Who We Are 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. 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. In This Role You Will - 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 What We Hope You'll Bring
