About the Role

Physical Intelligence is bringing general-purpose AI into the physical world. We are developing foundation models and learning algorithms to power robots and future physically-actuated devices. This role is part of the Runtime team, with deep collaboration across Research, Hardware, and Fleet teams.

Responsibilities

  • Drive the architecture and implementation of embedded firmware for devices crucial to PI’s data collection goals.
  • Work with hardware and software teams to ensure new devices seamlessly integrate with existing and future data pipelines.
  • Lead the integration of embedded Linux devices with real-time sensor processing, including driver development, BSP customization, kernel configuration, hardware bring-up, and performance tuning.
  • Utilize hardware abstraction tools and laboratory equipment to identify and resolve complex timing issues, race conditions, and hardware-software interface bugs.
  • Analyze and reduce power consumption for battery-operated devices, focusing on radio sleep states and sensor low-power modes.

Requirements

  • BS/MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
  • Strong software engineering and infrastructure skills, including building data pipelines, evaluation frameworks, and tools for rapid iteration.
  • Comfort working hands-on with hardware.
  • Strong communication skills for collaborating with hardware, software, and research teams.
  • Demonstrated experience leading initiatives from concept to production on aggressive schedules.
  • Experience turning ambiguous product goals into functional requirements.
  • Experience leading initial board bring-up and software design for first-of-their-kind embedded devices.
  • Hands-on experience with SPI, I2C, UART, USB.
  • Ability to debug complex hardware-software interactions.
  • Experience architecting, implementing, and debugging concurrent and multithreaded firmware services.
  • Deep understanding of modern operating systems, computer architecture, and trade-offs between compute, memory, and storage.
  • Experience bringing up and integrating sensors on embedded systems.
  • Proficiency in C++.
  • Familiarity with Bash scripting and Python for tooling and automation.
