    Operator job in San Francisco, CA

    Physical Intelligence is building the future where AI-powered robots seamlessly integrate into our daily lives. Imagine a robot that can fold your laundry, prepare meals, and organize your space. Picture robots in warehouses that can handle any package, or manufacturing robots that can adapt to new products without reprogramming. We're making this vision reality by developing general-purpose AI that can control robots to perform any physical task. Our team of engineers, scientists, and roboticists is creating foundation models-the same breakthrough technology behind ChatGPT-but for the physical world. Just as language models learned to understand and generate text from massive datasets, our robots learn to interact with the physical world through high-quality demonstration data. The Role: Powering the AI Revolution Data collection is the fuel that drives our mission. Every robot movement, every successful task completion, every demonstration you provide teaches our AI systems how to interact with the physical world. As a Robot Operator, you're not just controlling robots-you're literally training the AI that will power the next generation of intelligent machines. You'll be at the forefront of robotics AI, working hands-on with cutting-edge robotic systems to generate the high-quality training data our models need. Your precise demonstrations teach our AI everything from delicate manipulation tasks to complex multi-step processes. This is your chance to directly contribute to technology that will transform how robots help humans in homes, workplaces, and beyond.
