About the Position
Physical AI Sr. Engineer IRC296179
Location: United States - San Jose, CA
Experience: 5-10 years
Work Model: Hybrid
Responsibilities
- Autonomous Systems & Manipulation: Program and hack hardware to execute physical tasks directed by our AI agents. Whether it is commanding robotic arms, integrating autonomous systems, or 3D-printing and wiring custom actuators, you will make the digital physical.
- Solution Prototyping & Demo Engineering: Build physical, tabletop (or larger) setups simulating energy grids, manufacturing lines, or supply chain sorting. You will wire the sensors, mount the actuators, and make the system go live to validate early-stage customer solutions before they scale.
- PLC & OT Integration: Bridge the gap between modern AI Python scripts and standard industrial automation. You will program and tinker with standard PLCs (e.g. Mitsubishi FX, Allen Bradley, Siemens) to simulate real-world industrial environments.
- General Electronics Tinkering: Solder, wire, and cobble together microcontrollers, general-purpose electronics, and custom circuits to get the prototype working by any means necessary.
- High-Velocity Execution: Iterate at breakneck speed. If a component breaks, you bypass it. If a standard driver doesn’t work, you write a script to force it. Getting to a working prototype quickly is the ultimate goal.
