About this role:

Pickle is on the hunt for a dynamic and driven Physical AI Architect to revolutionize the future of warehouse automation. This is a senior technical role for someone who is equal parts deep practitioner and pragmatic builder — someone who understands the theoretical underpinnings of diffusion-based models and optimal control, and who has the track record to prove they can ship these systems into production hardware. You will serve as the technical authority on how modern AI approaches translate into real robot behavior, bridging cutting-edge methods with the reliability and performance demands of high-throughput logistics. If you are energized by closing the gap between research and reality, and you measure success in deployed systems rather than papers, this role is for you.

At Pickle Robot Company, we believe transparency builds trust. The salary range listed here is provided in accordance with Massachusetts law and reflects what we reasonably and in good faith expect to offer for this role. We often consider candidates at different levels of seniority, and final compensation will reflect the level at which a candidate is hired, along with factors like experience and location.
