Desirable

• We are seeking an experienced Product Manager to join our Platform organization
• . We build the foundational components and cloud services that help internal program teams launch, operate, and continuously improve Intelligent Machines, without each program rebuilding the same core capabilities
• In this role, you’ll own one or more Platform offerings and/or cross-cutting capabilities across our portfolio (assignment based on priorities and fit)
• You’ll work at the intersection of robotics software, ML systems, fleet operations, and developer experience, turning ambiguous needs into clear product bets, production-ready releases, and capabilities teams actually adopt in the field
• Product Ownership: Own strategy, roadmap, and outcomes for one or more Platform offerings or cross-cutting capabilities
• Customer Discovery: Build tight feedback loops with program teams and engineers to understand real constraints in the field (messy data, variable environments, operational risk)
• Requirements & Tradeoffs: Translate problems into crisp requirements, success metrics, and prioritized backlogs; make explicit tradeoffs across speed, reuse, reliability, and customization
• Cross-Functional Execution: Partner with engineering and design to ship iteratively—APIs, tooling, workflows, and user experiences that teams adopt and keep using
• Adoption & Rollout: Drive onboarding, documentation, enablement, and rollout plans; measure adoption and unblock teams during integration
• Platform Quality: Set the bar for production readiness (reliability, observability, supportability, and backward compatibility) and prevent “it works in the lab” releases
• Portfolio Alignment: Coordinate dependencies across Platform and program teams; reduce duplication and converge on shared building blocks where it matters
• Metrics & Outcomes: Define and track product metrics and use them to drive priorities and investment
• Stakeholder Communication: Keep stakeholders aligned by clearly articulating narratives, status updates, decisions, and risks, especially when priorities conflict or timelines shift.
