About The Position

Dusty Robotics develops robot-powered tools for the modern construction workforce. While today's buildings are built predominantly with manual labor, Dusty envisions a future in which skilled labor makes use of robotic automation to make the work safer, more efficient, and more precise. We want to create a future in which construction workers don't need to retire early because their bodies give out. In Dusty's future, the buildings we live and work in are built by teams of creative and problem-solving construction crews who direct robots to do the dull/dirty/dangerous work. What we're building Dusty bridges the gap between the digital world of building design with the skilled labor operating in the field, accelerating the digital transformation of the construction industry. The centerpiece of our strategy is the FieldPrinter: a mobile printer-on-wheels that prints building floorplans full-size on the concrete floor of a construction site. When errors in layout can cause multi-million dollar mistakes, our product ensures that all field crews are building off of a single source of truth derived from the digital model. Who You Are Dusty is looking for a creative and detail-oriented Director, Product Management with a proven track record to guide the development of the Dusty product family.
