Physical Intelligence median: 40 days open

The posting

WHO WE ARE

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 Team 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 the technicians and engineers who depend on printed parts to keep robots running.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The 3D Printer Technician owns additive manufacturing for the Robotics Technician Team. You will run and maintain the team's 3D printers across multiple locations, manage the print request queue, set and hold print standards, and keep a stocked supply of printed spare parts at each site so technicians never wait on a print. You will work directly with hardware engineers, prototype technicians, and robot service technicians at every location.

IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL

- Print Queue & Request Intake

- Own the print request queue in Linear. Every request carries the part, revision, quantity, material, requester, and need-by date.

- Prioritize the queue with robot downtime first and production builds second.

- Confirm each request points at a released Onshape model before printing, and route undocumented parts back to the requester.

- Post daily queue status: printing now, next up, blocked, and expected ready times.

- Printer Operation & Maintenance

- Run every printer the team owns, at every location: slicing, bed preparation, starts, monitoring, part removal, and failed print recovery.

- Build and run a preventive maintenance schedule for every printer at every location (nozzles, beds, belts, extruders, firmware, calibration) and log every PM.

- Diagnose and repair printer failures at any location, and keep a spares kit at each site so a down printer is back in service the same day.

- Move between locations on a set cadence for PMs, repairs, and calibration, and respond to printer outages wherever they happen.

- Track and report printer uptime by location monthly.

- Materials & Post-Processing

- Own filament and resin inventory: stock levels, dry storage, reorder points, and purchasing within set limits.

- Maintain one standard print profile per material and part family, versioned with the part.

- Post-process every part to its drawing (supports, heat set inserts, hardware, finishing) and inspect with calipers before release.

- Stock printed spares at every site to set minimums for high-turn parts so technicians pull from a bin, not the queue.

- Documentation & Standards

- Maintain a printed parts library: part number, revision, material, profile, print time, where it is used, and stock at each site.

- Track print volume and failure rate by part and by printer, and report monthly on what is trending the wrong way.

- Own the printer access list and train technicians who keep print access on the standard workflow and profiles.

- Follow the team's ticket closeout and handoff guide on every print ticket.

WHAT WE HOPE YOU'LL BRING

- Additive Manufacturing Experience: 2+ years running FDM printers in a production, lab, or service environment, including maintenance and repair, not just operation.

- Slicer Fluency: Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, Cura, or equivalent. Able to build and tune a profile from scratch and explain why each setting is where it is.

- CAD Literacy: Able to open a CAD model, check a dimension, repair a mesh, and adjust a tolerance for print.

- Mechanical Skillset: Comfortable with calipers, heat set inserts, threaded hardware, and inspecting parts to a drawing.

- Multi-Site Coverage: Comfortable splitting time between locations and owning printer uptime at sites you are not at every day.

- Detail Oriented: Holds parts to a standard and tracks what went wrong when a print fails.

- Strong Communication: Clear written queue updates and failure reports, and direct cross-functional communication with hardware engineers, prototype technicians, and robot service technicians.

BONUS POINTS

- SLA or SLS printing experience

- Onshape experience

- Experience using Linear ticketing system

Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
