More about this role

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.

As an ML Infra Engineer (Data Systems), you’ll build and operate the data infrastructure that powers large-scale robot learning. Your systems will sit directly between raw data sources and training/evaluation, enabling us to move faster while maintaining performance, correctness, and reliability at scale.

This is a systems role at the intersection of distributed systems, storage, and machine learning infrastructure.

The Infrastructure organization builds the foundations that make large-scale learning possible at PI. This includes training systems, data platforms, evaluation pipelines, and the tooling that allows researchers and roboticists to work with massive datasets safely and efficiently.
