Physicalintelligence Factory Lead at Physical Intelligence owns and operates the robot production line, leading technicians and managing production schedules to ensure on-time delivery. This role enforces quality and safety standards while driving continuous improvement on the production floor.

Responsibilities

Own and operate PI's robot production line, including final assembly, test, and pack, and be accountable for robots shipping to the fleet on time and to spec.
Set and run the daily and weekly production schedule, allocate technicians and stations, and lead the daily production stand-up.
Build and lead the build technician team: hire, onboard, train, plan labor for ramps, and run performance reviews.
Design and improve material flow from receiving dock through staging, kitting, and line-side delivery, and partner with supply chain on inventory accuracy and replenishment.
Plan and manage the production floor layout, station and equipment introductions, and space needs as volume grows.
Hold the line to quality standards: enforce inspection criteria and test protocols, drive containment and corrective action with engineering when builds fail, and feed field issues back to the line.
Define, track, and report production KPIs (throughput, yield, cycle time, on-time delivery, cost per unit) and make risks to the build schedule visible early.
Set and enforce safety standards on the floor and coach the team to catch risks before they become incidents.
Keep work instructions, standard work, and production records accurate and aligned to how the floor actually builds.
Partner with the NPI TPM and Manufacturing Lead to bring new platforms and design changes into production without breaking current output.
Lead continuous improvement on the floor (5S, kaizen, cycle-time reduction) and grow the production operation as PI moves from prototype to pilot to scale.
