From Physical Superintelligence's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Overview
Physical Superintelligence is a startup with roots at Google, NVIDIA, Harvard, Meta, MIT, Oxford, Johns Hopkins, Cambridge, and the Perimeter Institute building AI systems to discover new physics at scale.
Our mission is to discover and commercialize transformative physics breakthroughs at scale with artificial superintelligence, safely, verifiably, and for broad public benefit.
The last century's golden age of physics gave us transistors, lasers, and nuclear energy. We believe artificial superintelligence will unlock the next one. We're creating the infrastructure to industrialize scientific discovery and usher in this new era.
We have one product: new physics, at scale.
We are seeking a Head of Applied AI to lead the organization that puts PSI's AI and physics capability to work on real engineering systems. Applied AI at PSI is applied physics plus AI: thermal and fluid systems, electrical power distribution, structures, and the coupled models that tie them together, built for customers who need answers their current tools cannot give them.
Role and Responsibilities
Applied AI is the organization responsible for solving customers' engineering problems with our models, simulations, and agents: thermal, fluid, electrical, structural, and the coupling between them. This is applied science aimed at revenue.
Build the organization. Grow the team of applied physicists and engineers, define how it works, and own its results. Hire for strengths, not for the absence of weaknesses: people strong across most of the domains and deep in one, who start on open-ended problems without being told how and pick up an unfamiliar domain when the work needs it.
Set the technical direction. Decide where a classical solver is required, where a learned model is enough, how the two are validated against measured data, and when a result is good enough to put in front of a customer.
Own customer delivery end-to-end. Scope each engagement around the customer's actual problem, build the models and simulations that solve it, and ship something that runs in their environment. Every engagement leaves behind a reusable technical capability.
Own the interfaces through which researchers and customers put PSI's AI and physics work to use. These exist to make the underlying science usable and trustworthy.
Partner with go-to-market on scoping and expansion: be the technical counterpart to sales, decide what we can credibly promise, and serve as the escalation point when an engagement is at risk.
Stay technical. This is a player-coach role: carry individual technical work on engagements, and set the bar for what shipped means by shipping working science.
Pull research from Core AI and domain expertise from Physics into what you ship, and build on the infrastructure Engineering runs. You are the team that turns the rest of the company's work into something a customer pays for, so these partnerships are constant.
This is an in-person role based in Boston. We offer competitive compensation including salary, benefits, and meaningful early-stage equity. We evaluate on delivery track record, technical depth, applied scientific judgment, and the quality of the teams you have built. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diverse perspectives in building platforms for AI-driven discovery.
