Deployments Software Engineer

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.

Deploying robots into the real world takes more than a capable model - it takes designing a physical system that's fast, safe, and reliable enough to run unattended on a customer's floor, backed by software you can observe, debug, and trust if something goes wrong.

As a Robotics Software Engineer, you'll build that system. You'll integrate state-of-the-art models with robots that work on-site - building system safeguards, the teleoperation interfaces operators rely on, and the latency optimizations that make remote control feel instant. You'll work with researchers, platform engineers, and robot operators to make the whole stack dependable enough that customers bet their operations on it.

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

• Design remote teleoperation interfaces: Develop comfortable and precise interfaces for controlling robots with many degrees of freedom
• Optimize for low-latency network performance: Engineer teleoperation interfaces that can continue functioning even in weak internet areas
• Optimize System Performance: Profile and optimize across compute, I/O, memory, scheduling, networking, and storage to meet real-time constraints...
