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.

Job Responsibilities

• Design, build, and test key subsystems for various robotic arms and mobile platforms. This includes actuation, sensing, enclosures and power systems.

• Work hands-on with prototypes in our hardware lab. This includes bring-up, assembly, calibration, and reliability testing of various arms, lifts, mobile bases and end-effectors.

• Integrate cross-disciplinary inputs from mechanical, electrical, and software teams to root cause mission critical issues to drive high level system performance.

• Analyze data from deployments to inform design iteration and reliability improvements.

• Own full stack of a subsystem from CAD to PCB to bench testing.

Required Skills:

• Completed 3A Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering. Students with exceptional projects, GitHub’s, portfolios and work experience that are below 3A will also be considered.

• Strong mechanical and electromechanical design fundamentals (dynamic loading, FEA, DFM)

• Familiar with embedded and mechatronic systems (CAN, BLDC control, motor controllers).

• Proficiency in CAD (NX, OnShape, Solidworks) and rapid prototyping tools (3D printing, SLA and FDM, laser cutting)

• Basic electrical design and debug (schematics, soldering, test equipment).

• Data-driven debugging and test planning (Python, MATLAB, or similar).

• Exposure to manufacturing or assembly environments is a plus.

• Prior experience in robotics, autonomous systems, or hardware startups is highly valued.
