Robot Integration 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. The Team The Fleet team owns the readiness, reliability, and operational health of PI’s robot fleet. They partner across hardware, runtime, and forward-deployed engineering to ensure every robot platform is integrated cleanly, performs reliably in the field, and improves over time — directly enabling the data collection and evaluation that powers PI’s foundation models. In This Role You Will Robot Platform Fleet Integration: Be the accountable owner for a robot platform’s successful integration into the fleet, driving closure on system issues across electrical, mechanical, and software interfaces. Acceptance Criteria & Metrics: Define acceptance tests, criteria, and passing metrics with clear documentation on test plans. Fleet Acceptance Testing: Drive and execute fleet acceptance testing per defined criteria; assess data and results to determine whether robot units can be integrated into the fleet. Robot Platform Sustainment: Monitor and maintain the health and performance of the platform in the fleet; create bring-up procedures and troubleshooting guides for Forward Deployed Robotics Engineers. Reliability Improvements: Own MTBF for integrated platforms and lead design improvements to push reliability metrics upward. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Engage with hardware and software teams to close interface gaps and drive design improvements throughout integration and sustainment. What We Hope You’ll Bring B.S. in Robotics, Mechatronics, Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience. 5+ years of experience with robot systems integration across multiple hardware and software disciplines, including system verification and validation testing. Strong understanding of mechanical, electrical, and software interactions in robotic systems, with the ability to resolve complex issues across all three. Strong understanding of robotics hardware and electromechanical systems including actuators, PCBs, cameras, wiring harnesses, and communication hardware. Software proficiency to build integration tooling, scripts, and automated tests that improve reliability and speed of integration. Test execution and data analysis skills — ability to process and analyze data to pull technical insights from results. Excellent written and verbal communication, particularly in technical documentation. High ownership and ability to thrive in a highly dynamic startup environment. Bonus Points Prior experience integrating mobile manipulators, humanoid platforms, or other complex multi-DOF robotic systems. Familiarity with Python, ROS, and tooling for automated test execution and data pipelines. Experience operating in a zero-to-one or early-stage fleet/operations environment. Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records. #J-18808-Ljbffr Physical Intelligence
