Full Job Description
About The Role

We are seeking a Product Manager to own our industrial business - the logistics, distribution, and material-handling environments where our robots increasingly work alongside people, equipment, and existing operations. The ideal candidate will have shipped physical products into industrial settings, is comfortable spending real time on customer sites, and can own a product area without being managed through it.

Responsibilities:

  • Own the industrial product line end to end (market definition, use cases, requirements, roadmap priorities, and the business case behind them) and be accountable for its commercial results: volume, mix, and profitable growth.
  • Drive the success of our active industrial deployments, working directly on-site with customers in live production environments against well-funded direct competitors.
  • Conduct customer and site discovery: walking yards, observing operations, talking with supervisors and operators, translating what you learn into requirements engineering can build.
  • Tell the commercial team where and how to sell: target segments, fit and no-fit criteria, the ROI case, and the proof points that close industrial deals.
  • Inform pricing, packaging, and positioning for the segment so we capture the value we create.
  • Own the product side of our integration strategy for this segment, so our robots work with the systems industrial customers already run.
  • Build competitive and win/loss insight for industrial: who we lose to, why, and what we change as a result.


Requirements:

  • 5+ years in product management shipping physical products, such as robots, autonomous vehicles, industrial machinery, heavy equipment, or comparable, that were deployed commercially.
  • Direct experience in industrial environments: warehousing, logistics, distribution, manufacturing, material handling, construction, or similar.
  • Track record of owning a product area independently: setting direction, defending it, and living with the outcome.
  • Genuine comfort working in the field, on customer sites, for days at a time.
  • Strong written communication. Requirements, decision memos, and customer synthesis are how influence travels here.
  • Willingness to travel up to 30% of the time.


Nice-To-Haves:

  • Experience with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) or automated material handling
  • Familiarity with yard management, fleet management, or WMS/ERP integrations
  • Background in agriculture or outdoor equipment
  • Exposure to operational site and product safety
  • Conversational Spanish


Perks:

  • Competitive salary and benefits package (medical/dental/vision/life insurance)
  • Equity
  • 401K Plan
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Paid parental leave


$130,000 - $150,000 a year
