What are the responsibilities and job description for the Instruction Writing Lead position at Physical Intelligence?
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
Within Ops, there are three functions: Prototyping, Process Engineering, and Production Ops. This role will sit in Prototyping — the starting point of the pipeline, where research intent gets translated into executable plans before anything moves downstream.

The team
Within Ops, there are three functions: Prototyping, Process Engineering, and Production Ops. This role will sit in Prototyping — the starting point of the pipeline, where research intent gets translated into executable plans before anything moves downstream.
In This Role You Will
- Own validation of instructions before release to Production Ops, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and execution readiness
- Translate prototyping outputs into structured, production-ready instructions with consistent logic and formatting
- Determine the best method for instruction delivery to end users
- Work with international team to ensure delivery is appropriate for their team – alternative language instructions, videos, etc.
- Define and maintain instruction templates in partnership with Process Engineering
- Manage and support the onsite instruction-writing team, including review workflows and prioritization
- Establish scalable documentation processes across data collection, evaluation, scorecard, and QA instruction sets
- Partner with Prototyping to improve handoff quality and reduce downstream rework
- Represent instruction-writing requirements in tooling, template design, and release standards
- Define and track instruction quality and coverage metrics as output scales
- Support international rollout by ensuring instructions are localization-ready, regionally adaptable, and usable across distributed Production Ops teams
