About The Position

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.
Within Ops, there are three functions: Prototyping, Process Engineering, and Production Ops. This role will sit in Prototyping — the starting point of the pipeline, where research intent gets translated into executable plans before anything moves downstream.
In this role you will:

Responsibilities

• Own validation of instructions before release to Production Ops, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and execution readiness
• Translate prototyping outputs into structured, production-ready instructions with consistent logic and formatting
• Determine the best method for instruction delivery to end users
• Work with international team to ensure delivery is appropriate for their team – alternative language instructions, videos, etc.
• Define and maintain instruction templates in partnership with Process Engineering
• Manage and support the onsite instruction-writing team, including review workflows and prioritization
• Establish scalable documentation processes across data collection, evaluation, scorecard, and QA instruction sets
• Partner with Prototyping to improve handoff quality and reduce downstream rework
• Represent instruction-writing requirements in tooling, template design, and release standards
• Define and track instruction quality and coverage metrics as output scales
• Support international rollout by ensuring instructions are localization-ready, regionally adaptable, and usable across distributed Production Ops teams
