Group Product Manager, Physical AI & Robotics

The role

You will own the tooling for robotics data collection, including capture applications, operator workflows, session management, review, QA, and customer delivery. You will work with researchers and operators to set standards for capturing real-world data at scale.

What you will do

• Own the roadmap for robotics data collection, setting direction and driving execution across engineering, design, operations, quality, and solutions.
• Assess demand for new capture modalities, then define the collection model, hardware, and tooling.
• Work with engineering and design on the operator experience.
• Build prototypes and write the specs.
• Translate customer model requirements into collection designs.
• Spend time with collectors, session leads, and reviewers.
• Represent the product directly to hyperscaler and robotics foundation model teams.
• Optimize for yield per session, rejection rate, cost per usable hour, capture-to-delivery time, and operator retention.
• Champion pilots as the default way to test a change.

Required qualifications

• 8-12 years in product management, including at least 2 in robotics, physical AI, AR/VR, autonomous systems, or data collection at scale.
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (e.g., Computer Science, Information Systems) or equivalent experience.
• Technical depth to hold a real conversation with a research team.
• Direct experience with one or more of: egocentric or wearable data capture, teleoperation systems, robot data pipelines, multi-sensor collection rigs or similar setups.
• Experience defining product vision and roadmaps in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
• Hands-on robotics background.
• Familiarity with imitation learning, VLA models, or manipulation policy training, and the data those methods need.
• Experience managing distributed human operations, including crowd or contractor workforces.
• You have shipped something physical and understand calibration, sensor sync, and coordinate frames, and how they fail.

Nice to have

• demonstrably curious and have side work projects to showcase
