Deployments Software Engineer

AI summary of the role

This role is on the Deployments team at Physical Intelligence, responsible for integrating state-of-the-art vision-language-action models with robots deployed on customer sites.

What you’ll do

  • Design remote teleoperation interfaces for controlling robots with many degrees of freedom
  • Optimize for low-latency network performance in weak internet areas
  • Profile and optimize across compute, I/O, memory, scheduling, networking, and storage to meet real-time constraints
  • Develop and optimize real-time video streaming systems with strict frame timing and packet scheduling

What you’ll bring

  • Strong programming skills in C++, Rust, or Python with production software experience
  • Background in real-time or near–real-time systems, VR/AR, video pipelines, 3D engines, or streaming systems
  • Ability to optimize across the entire stack (drivers, networking, compute workloads, video frameworks, distributed components)
  • Experience with profiling tools (perf, tracing, eBPF, GPU profilers, network analyzers)

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. Deploying robots into the real world takes more than a capable model - it takes designing a physical system that's fast, safe, and reliable enough to run unattended on a customer's floor, backed by software you can observe, debug, and trust if something goes wrong. As a Robotics Software Engineer, you'll build that system. You'll integrate state-of-the-art models with robots that work on-site - building system safeguards, the teleoperation interfaces operators rely on, and the latency optimizations that make remote control feel instant. You'll work with researchers, platform engineers, and
