Group Product Manager - AMR

Overview

Lead the AMR product roadmap across hardware, firmware and robot software for Botsync's autonomous mobile robots, and lead and grow the robotics product management team.

What you'll do

• Own the AMR product roadmap across hardware, firmware and robot software.
• Decide which performance and operating limits are worth pushing, and set and defend targets across mobility, navigation, docking, material handling and fleet reliability.
• Quantify the engineering and vendor trade-offs behind each investment.
• Own how the company establishes confidence that a robot will perform under real operating conditions before it reaches a customer site.
• Turn recurring failures into permanent verification scenarios, and continuously raise the evidence bar a product or release must clear before deployment.
• Turn field performance into systematic product learning, including mechanisms to recognize known failure patterns from telemetry, errors and logs, and to close the loop from field failure to root cause to product improvement to verification.
• Lead and grow the PM team responsible for the robotics product.
• Translate customer needs, fleet evidence and technology opportunities into a prioritized roadmap.
• Distinguish one-off customer requirements from reusable product investments.
• Establish measurable outcomes and acceptance criteria.
• Partner across engineering and ops teams to deliver outcomes.

What you'll need

• 8–10 years across robotics, industrial automation or autonomous systems, combining hands-on engineering depth with real product ownership.
• Has owned reliability, validation, deployment risk or field performance across multiple customer deployments.
• Technically credible enough to challenge engineering and vendor trade-offs on their own terms: sensors, motion control, power systems, navigation-stack behaviour and system integration.
• Comfortable refining a gated hardware development process, sharpening what each gate requires and tightening go/kill criteria as the product and organization mature.
• Able to specify what must be measured, then hold a release to that measurement when the ship date is under pressure.
• Strong product judgement on what should become reusable platform capability versus what should remain bespoke.
• Leads through influence, aligning engineering, deployment and customer teams, and other product managers, without owning them on an org chart.

Nice to have

• End-to-end system exposure spanning mechanical, electrical and software domains.
• Experience operating across multiple customer geographies where site conditions and operating assumptions differ materially.
• Exposure to AMR safety and functional-safety standards, and familiarity with what simulation and pre-deployment test infrastructure can't prove about physical systems before deployment.
• Working knowledge of ROS 1/ROS 2, and of the telemetry, logging and bag data a fleet emits.
• Direct experience with AMR, AGV or autonomous-vehicle fleets in manufacturing, warehousing or intralogistics.
