At Rhoda AI, we’re building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots. We own the full robotics stack from high-performance hardware and robot systems to the infrastructure and state-of-the-art foundation world models that control our robots. Our robots are designed to be generalists capable of operating in complex, real-world environments and handling long-tail edge cases, made possible by our cutting edge research and end-to-end system design. We've raised over $450M and are investing aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up to make generalist robotics a reality.
We're looking for a Product Manager to lead multiple digital interfaces products that people use to operate, manage, and support Rhoda robots. These interfaces span three core ownership pillars: internal fleet management tools, support UIs including teleoperation, and HMIs (human-machine interfaces used by our customers on the floor). This is both a strategic and a hands-on role. You'll work closely with members of the product, human-robot interaction, and engineering teams to set our direction across these surfaces. You’ll also own end-to-end requirements and follow-through on shippable product development while helping us mature this pipeline for future products.
What You'll Do
Own the product vision, roadmap, and prioritization for Rhoda's digital interfaces, so they rigorously meet customer and user needs as part of a coherent product family.
Spend time with customer stakeholders, internal operations stakeholders, and field teams to understand real workflows on the floor, and turn what you learn into product decisions.
Partner closely with UX/UI design to iterate on design research, concepts, and artifacts and turn them into shippable scope. Know when to hold the design bar and when to make pragmatic tradeoffs.
Ship Rhoda’s first internal fleet management, teleoperation tools, and robot UIs. Build scalable products that users love and can use seamlessly.
Work with robot software, controls, safety, and cloud teams to determine feasible scope, support development roadmaps, and ensure interfaces accurately reflect real system state and capabilities.
Plan ahead for scale and variation across customers and deployments: roles and permissions, localization (including multilingual support), configurable workflows, and the line between standard product and customer-specific needs.
Write detailed, unambiguous requirements: user stories, functional specs, state and error-handling logic, and testable acceptance criteria that design, engineering, and QA can build and verify against.
Define and track success metrics for each surface, and use them to reduce operator friction, errors, and support load as deployments scale.
What We're Looking For
A bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, a related technical field, or
equivalent practical experience.
5+ years of product management experience with 7+ years of total experience, with a track record of shipping complex, user-facing digital interfaces into production.
A clear history of writing detailed requirements and acceptance criteria yourself. You like getting into the details and don't hand them off.
Experience taking interfaces from design through development to launch, working closely with other product managers, designers, and fullstack engineers.
Familiarity building or significantly improving a product development process, such as design handoff, spec templates, build review, QA, and release.
Experience with real-time, data-dense, or operationally critical software, where the UI reflects live system state and errors have real consequences.
Technical fluency to work with engineers on APIs, data models, state machines, latency, and backend architecture.
Excellent written and verbal communication.
Nice to Have (But Not Required)
A master's degree in a technical or engineering discipline, an MBA, or equivalent experience in robotics or machine learning.
Experience in robotics, industrial automation, manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, or autonomous vehicles.
Background in HMI, tele-op, or fleet/asset management software.
Experience designing for safety-critical interactions or working within functional safety constraints.
Familiarity with tablet or native mobile apps as well as web dashboards.
Experience shipping multi-tenant B2B products with customer-facing and internal views of the same system.
Experience as an early PM in a fast-moving startup environment.
Why This Role
Drive every point where people touch Rhoda's robots digitally, from the operator on the floor to the customer running a fleet.
Own the product development process for digital interfaces at Rhoda.
Work at the level of both strategy and detailed specs, with real influence over how the product works from day one.
Help define how people work alongside the next generation of intelligent machines.
