About The Position

At Path Robotics, we’re building the future of embodied intelligence. Our AI-driven systems enable robots to adapt, learn, and perform in the real world closing the skilled labor gap and transforming industries. We go beyond traditional methods, combining perception, reasoning, and control to deliver field-ready AI that is risk-aware, reliable, and continuously improving through real-world use. Big, hard problems are our everyday work, and our team of intelligent, humble, and driven people make the impossible possible together. We’re looking for a Product Manager with proven experience taking highly technical, greenfield products from concept to commercial launch, someone who thrives in ambiguity, builds clarity where none exists, and brings structure, rigor, and momentum to complex, cross-functional environments. This role is ideal for a product leader who has partnered closely with engineering and go-to-market teams to translate deep technical capabilities into customer-ready, revenue-generating products.

Requirements

Proven experience launching at least one successful greenfield product in a technical or industrial domain (robotics, manufacturing, automation, AI, or adjacent fields)
Demonstrated success working in high-ambiguity environments, bringing order, clarity, and execution discipline to undefined problem spaces
Strong background in technical product management or technical commercialization, partnering deeply with engineering and R&D teams
Experience bridging software, hardware, and data to deliver cohesive, production-ready solutions
Comfortable making data-informed decisions using customer insights, usage data, and experimentation
Experienced in driving products through full lifecycle ownership: discovery, build, launch, adoption, and iteration
Confident facilitator who can align engineering, sales, operations, and leadership around shared outcomes
Clear, transparent communicator who thrives in fast-paced, cross-functional environments
Familiarity with analytics, experimentation, and product performance measurement
Ability to balance technical depth with customer-centric thinking

Responsibilities

Own zero-to-one product development: lead greenfield products from early discovery and technical feasibility through MVP, commercialization, and market launch
Drive technical commercialization by translating complex robotics, AI, and software capabilities into clear customer value propositions and market-ready solutions
Create structure in ambiguous environments by defining product strategy, success metrics, operating rhythms, and decision-making frameworks
Serve as the single-threaded owner of product vision, requirements, and prioritization across software, hardware, R&D, and operations
Represent the voice of the customer, grounding product decisions in customer research, field insights, and real-world manufacturing workflows
Partner with Sales, Solutions, and Operations to ensure product readiness, launch planning, enablement, and successful adoption
Define and document functional, UX, and system-level requirements critical to robotic welding cycles and production environments
Develop and maintain roadmaps beyond MVP, balancing near-term delivery with long-term platform scalability
Establish feedback loops post-launch to measure success, identify gaps, and guide iteration and expansion
