From the posting

Physical Intelligence is bringing general-purpose AI into the physical world. We are a team 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

This role is part of the Runtime team, but will include deep collaboration with the Research, Hardware, and Fleet teams.

In this role you will:

- 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 the new devices we are building work seamlessly with existing and future data pipelines

- Embedded Linux System Bring-up: Lead the integration of embedded Linux devices with real-time sensor processing. This includes developing drivers for high-speed sensors, BSP development and customization, kernel configuration and debugging, hardware bring-up, and performance tuning across the hardware/software boundary.

- Hardware/Software Debugging: Use hardware abstraction tools and laboratory equipment to identify and resolve complex timing issues, race conditions, and hardware-software interface bugs.

- Power Optimization: Analyze and reduce power consumption for battery-operated devices, including on radio sleep states and sensor low-power modes.

What we hope you'll bring:

- BS/MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field. …
