Senior Product Manager

The Role

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead our product development function. This is a high-ownership role: you'll set the vision, strategy, and roadmap across our portfolio, from the Vue software platform to productized cells like VuePod, and act as the connective tissue between engineering, sales, marketing, and our customers. Reporting into engineering leadership, you'll turn deep customer understanding and competitive insight into the priorities that shape what we build, and make sure the business is equipped to win with it.

You'll work at the interface between a world-class engineering and applied-science team and our commercial team, on a technically rich product, with the latitude to define how product is practiced here as we grow.

What You'll Do

• Own the product vision and strategy. Vision-guided robotics has historically been sold as an engineering project — a robot, a camera, an integrator, and weeks of on-site tuning. We're changing that by making it a product. You'll own the strategy and roadmap that carries this across the portfolio, from Vue to turnkey VuePod cells, deciding where we invest between new capability, deployment reliability, and ease of use.
• Be the voice of the customer. Our users are manufacturing engineers, controls engineers, and operators on plant floors, not software teams. You'll spend time in plants and integrator shops, understand why a vision-guided cell wins or stalls at an automotive OEM or Tier 1 supplier, and turn pain points into requirements our R&D teams can build against.
• Bridge product and the business. Automation is bought through a chain: robot OEMs, integrators, and end customers each need a different story. You'll sit between the product team and the commercial team as the translator both trust, turning field signals into roadmap priorities, shaping positioning and messaging, and arming the commercial team to expand sales.
• Shape the physical product. Our products live in the physical world: VuePort cameras, the VueController, and complete VuePod cells with enclosures, compute, and gripper interfaces. You'll define hardware requirements and the business case behind them, weigh cost, supply chain, and manufacturability trade-offs with engineering and our manufacturing partners, and shape the hardware lineup that supports both Vue deployments and turnkey cells.
• Raise the bar on quality and experience. The difference between a demo and a product is what happens in week 30 on night shift. You'll pressure-test features against how operators and maintenance teams actually work, and drive toward customers going from purchase to first pick on their
