Physical Intelligence
Forward Deployed Robotics Engineer
Why it's interesting
The rare FDE that's hands-on-hardware: you're the first responder for a live robot fleet at one of the hottest robotics foundation-model labs, not embedding at a customer. Asks just 2 years and a B.S. — because almost nobody has actually debugged multi-robot fleets in production.
The role
Serve as the first line of technical triage for Physical Intelligence's fleet of static and mobile robots across warehouse and data-collection environments — owning the issue queue, on-site diagnostics, telemetry/log analysis, and root-cause investigations to maximize fleet uptime. Requires 2+ years debugging hardware+software systems, electromechanical debugging skill, and Python/Bash scripting.
