Responsibilities

Own the industrial product line end to end (market definition, use cases, requirements, roadmap priorities, and the business case behind them) and be accountable for its commercial results: volume, mix, and profitable growth.
Drive the success of our active industrial deployments, working directly on-site with customers in live production environments against well-funded direct competitors.
Conduct customer and site discovery: walking yards, observing operations, talking with supervisors and operators, translating what you learn into requirements engineering can build.
Tell the commercial team where and how to sell: target segments, fit and no-fit criteria, the ROI case, and the proof points that close industrial deals.
Inform pricing, packaging, and positioning for the segment so we capture the value we create.
Own the product side of our integration strategy for this segment, so our robots work with the systems industrial customers already run.
Build competitive and win/loss insight for industrial: who we lose to, why, and what we change as a result.
