Project Manager (Research)

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 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 -Maintain continuity of task intent as work moves beyond early prototype validation into evals (and potentially back again!) ensuring consistency across episodes and environments -Partner closely with researchers to preserve design decisions over time and reduce coordination load so they can stay focused on task design and policy performance -Serve as the primary escalation point for operator questions
