Electrical Engineer

About the Company

Physical Intelligence is bringing general-purpose AI into the physical world. We are a team 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.

Responsibilities

• Drive hardware architecture including component selection (SoCs, Sensors, PMICs) to final PCBA
• Lead hardware integration of high-resolution image sensors and high-speed data paths (MIPI)
• Design and optimize RF front-ends for wireless modules
• Take full ownership of schematics and supervise/execute PCB layouts for complex enclosures
• Design and execute test plans to identify hardware bugs, signal integrity issues, and thermal bottlenecks
• Work with manufacturing partners on DFM and DFT optimization
• Analyze and optimize hardware-level power consumption and assist with thermal testing

Requirements

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field
• 3–7 years of experience in hardware design and board-level development
• Proficiency in EDA tools like Altium or Allegro for multi-layer, high-density interconnect designs
• Experience with CMOS image sensors and MIPI CSI-2/3 interfaces
• Deep understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC mitigation
• Experience with lab equipment including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and logic analyzers
• Experience designing power delivery networks (PDN), DC-DC converters, and battery management systems
• Familiarity with protocols such as CAN, Ethernet, SPI, I2C, UART, USB, and PCIe
• Knowledge of wireless protocols including BLE and Wi-Fi

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with RF/Antenna integration and FCC/CE certification processes
• History of working with JDMs and ODMs
• Knowledge of flex-circuit (FPC) design and rigid-flex integration
• Experience with robotic actuators or motor control circuitry
• Understanding of thermal design optimization and testing
