About this role

Robotics Software Engineer 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. Achieving real-world performance requires extremely tight system latency, reliable sensor pipelines, and end-to-end engineering that makes perception and control loops work at real-time speeds. As a Runtime Software Engineer, you'll engineer the low-latency, high-throughput systems that underpin our physical intelligence model. You won't be designing ML models - you'll be the person who makes them run flawlessly in production , optimizing every layer from OS to camera pipeline to networking. You'll collaborate closely with researchers, platform engineers, and robotics operators to identify bottlenecks and extract maximum performance from the entire system. The Team The Runtime team is responsible for building the core platform that Pi's robots, sensors, and evaluation pipelines rely on. The team spans Linux systems engineering, camera and sensor pipelines, robot actuator controllers, networking, real-time IO, and performance tooling. They ensure our ML models and control systems operate under strict latency budgets and are robust under real-world conditions. In This Role You Will -Own Real-Time Pipelines: Engineer low-latency, high-reliability sensor and actuator pipelines across Linux, drivers, and middleware. -Optimize System Performance: Profile and optimize across compute, I/O, memory, scheduling, networking, and storage to meet real-time constraints and increase throughput. -Build OS-Level Capabilities: Extend or modify Linux components,
