Robotics Product Manager

About the Role

Our product team is growing rapidly and we are looking for a talented product manager to join our agile, world-class team. Agility Robotics is looking for a Product Manager to support the development of Digit, our bipedal mobile manipulator robot. In particular, this product manager will support the development of Digit, from a hardware perspective (mechanical, electrical, systems, firmware), as well as the autonomy stack of the robot.

About the Work

• Define Product Requirements: Serve as lead owner of product level requirements for the robot (Hardware and on-robot software). Work closely with engineering, design, and operations teams to define detailed product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria for humanoid robot features. Translate customer and internal needs into clear, actionable technical specifications.
• Prioritize Features & Backlog: Maintain and prioritize the product backlog, evaluating trade-offs based on factors such as technical feasibility, customer value, and resource constraints. Work closely with engineering to ensure priorities are aligned with the overall product strategy.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Serve as the key liaison between engineering, design, commercial, and customers, ensuring that everyone is aligned with the product vision and user experience goals. Facilitate clear communication to keep everyone focused on delivering valuable, customer-driven features.
• Customer pilot support and iteration: Ensure that customer pilots are aligned with the roadmap. Support the iteration process for each release cycle, gathering feedback from beta users to refine and optimize features. Ensure that the releases meet customer expectations, gather learning, and use them to prioritize future roadmap features.
