## Description

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**
The Robotics Technician works closely with PI’s fleet operations and engineering teams, to maintain the robotic platforms that power our AI research. The team is collaborative, fast-moving, and deeply technical — and this role is a direct partner to operations and engineers building and improving the systems you’ll maintain.
**In This Role You Will**

- **Electrical Maintenance: **Repair electrical systems including wiring, circuits, power supplies, sensors, and control systems; conduct regular electrical inspections and preventive maintenance on robotic units

- **Mechanical Maintenance: **Repair mechanical components such as actuators, motors, gearboxes, bearings, and moving parts; perform inspections, alignments, and calibrations to keep systems within spec

- **Diagnostics & Testing: **Perform tests using diagnostic tools, multimeters, oscilloscopes, and specialized equipment; interpret electrical schematics and wiring diagrams to locate and resolve issues

- **Documentation: **Maintain thorough documentation of repairs, part replacements, and maintenance activities using Linear and Notion

- **Hardware Feedback: **Propose solutions to the hardware engineering team for ease of repair, component standardization, and improved maintainability

- **Safety & Compliance: **Ensure all work complies with company standards, safety regulations, and industry best practices; identify potential hazards and initiate corrective actions

**What We Hope You’ll Bring**

- Associate degree in Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical field (bachelor’s a plus), or equivalent hands-on experience

- 2+ years of experience in electrical and mechanical maintenance, with a background in robotics, automation, or a related industry

- Proficiency in troubleshooting and repairing electrical systems (AC/DC motors, wiring, controllers) and mechanical components (motors, gears, bearings)

- Experience with diagnostic tools including multimeters, oscilloscopes, and PLCs

- Ability to read and interpret technical manuals, schematics, and engineering drawings

- Proficiency with hand tools, power tools, and industrial-grade equipment

- Strong attention to detail and excellent communication and teamwork abilities

**Bonus Points**

- Relevant certifications in electrical or mechanical systems (e.g., ASE, NATE, IPC or equivalent)

- Familiarity with robotics systems, automation technologies, and fleet management tools

- Experience working in a fast-moving startup or research environment
