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.

Requirements

• Completed their 3rd year of Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering. Students with exceptional projects, GitHub’s, portfolios and work experience that are below their 3rd year will also be considered.
• Strong mechanical and electromechanical design fundamentals (dynamic loading, FEA, DFM)
• Familiar with embedded and mechatronic systems (CAN, BLDC control, motor controllers).
• Proficiency in CAD (NX, OnShape, Solidworks) and rapid prototyping tools (3D printing, SLA and FDM, laser cutting)
• Basic electrical design and debug (schematics, soldering, test equipment).
• Data-driven debugging and test planning (Python, MATLAB, or similar).

Nice To Haves

• Exposure to manufacturing or assembly environments is a plus.
• Prior experience in robotics, autonomous systems, or hardware startups is highly valued.

Responsibilities
