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.\nHigh-quality data is the fuel for that mission. Our operations teams bring together people, robots, environments, and processes to produce the data our models need.\nThe Team\nResearch Operations supports the hands-on work behind our research, from collecting and evaluating data to testing and deploying our own tools and systems. The work changes quickly as our research evolves, so the team needs to be both highly organized and adaptable. The Research Operations GM leads the people and managers doing this work. They ensure teams are staffed effectively, build strong managers, and create an organization where people can perform at a high level and grow.\nIn this role you will\nLead and develop a large operations team and its managers.\n\nOwn staffing, performance, retention, and day-to-day operations.\n\nMake sure people and resources are focused on the highest-priority work.\n\nBuild training and development programs that improve performance and prepare people for more complex research and deployment work.\n\nUse data to identify problems and improve quality, productivity, and how the team operates.\n\nWork closely with researchers and engineers to adapt the operation as their needs change.\n\nWhat We Hope You'll Bring\n7+ years leading large, high-output operations teams, ideally involving physical or hands-on work.\n\nExperience managing and developing managers and team leads.\n\nA track record of improving quality, productivity, and retention at scale.\n\nStrong judgment around staffing, prioritization, and performance.\n\nExperience building teams where strong people stay and grow.\n\nComfort working in a fast-changing, technical environment.\n\nBonus Points\nExperience in robotics, hardware, manufacturing, logistics, or other complex physical operations.\n\nExperience supporting research or engineering teams.\n\nExperience building training and career development programs.\n\nExperience with data collection, eval, or deployment operations.\n\nPursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2419,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Robotics AI","Foundation Models","AI Research Labs"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T01:52:02Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":55,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/physical-intelligence-general-manager-research-operations","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/physical-intelligence-general-manager-research-operations.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T04:37:26Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1535,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":48436},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=48436"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fphysical-intelligence-general-manager-research-operations"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fphysical-intelligence-general-manager-research-operations"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fphysical-intelligence-general-manager-research-operations"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/physical-intelligence-general-manager-research-operations\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fphysical-intelligence-general-manager-research-operations"}]}
