Physical Intelligence is hiring a Controls Engineer in San Francisco to design and implement the algorithms that keep its robots stable and predictable. The Controls team builds feedback and model-based controllers — PID, LQR, MPC, inverse dynamics — plus real-time loops, simulations and actuator/sensor subsystems, including neural-network-driven control. Duties cover robot bring-up, simulation-to-hardware validation, embedded work with CAN, SPI, I2C and Ethernet, and debugging electromechanical problems. The posting asks for Python and C++, real-time tuning experience, and close work with researchers and hardware teams. Manipulation or mobile robotics backgrounds are a plus.
