About The Position

Field AI is transforming how robots interact with the real world. We are building risk-aware, reliable, and field-ready AI systems that address the most complex challenges in robotics, unlocking the full potential of embodied intelligence. We go beyond typical data-driven approaches or pure transformer-based architectures, and are charting a new course, with already-globally-deployed solutions delivering real-world results and rapidly improving models through real-field applications. We are looking for a senior product leader to own a major product area within our Construction portfolio and ensure clarity, coherence, and scalability across customer deployments. This role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution and is accountable for translating company priorities into durable product direction that engineering teams can move on quickly. You will lead a team of product managers and work directly with senior engineering leaders to define product boundaries, reduce customer-driven fragmentation, and enforce product integrity at scale. This role is designed to accelerate delivery by providing strong product authority, not additional process.

Establish product-level acceptance criteria and validation standards for customer workflows and deployments
Act as the escalation point for scope decisions and in-scope vs out-of-scope determinations
Lead and mentor product managers to operate with clarity, authority, and consistency
Partner closely with engineering, robotics, AI, and platform leadership to align feasibility, sequencing, and execution
Prevent duplication, fragmentation, and customer-specific divergence across deployments
Provide clear product truth to Scope Qualification, Sales, and Product Communication teams
