Set Team Specialist
Physical Intelligence
Summary
Physical Intelligence is bringing general-purpose AI into the physical world. We are a group of engineers, scientists, roboticists, and company builders developing learning algorithms to create a model that will control any robot to do any task.
Job description
The Team
The Set Team plans, builds, and maintains these environments so research can run on real-world tasks. "Sets" are the physical rooms and scenes where our robots collect data: kitchens, living rooms, evaluation stations, and more. As a Set Team Specialist, you'll keep active sets organized, staged, and inventory-accurate so research runs without interruption.
In This Role You Will
- Audit Sets Daily: Check active sets every day for organization and cleanliness, working alongside the operator team.
- Stage & Log: Stage props for new sets and log them accurately in inventory.
- Flag Issues: Follow a defined checklist and escalate missing props, sets out of spec, and inventory mismatches to the Set Team Coordinator.
- Support Prop Running: Deliver props and kits to operators when needed.
What We Hope You'll Bring
