ANYbotics is a fast-growing mobile robotics company transforming industrial plants in energy, process, and utility sectors with autonomous, high-mobility robots. The company has over 200 employees and is scaling the capabilities of its ANYmal platform.
You will serve as the bridge between commercial goals, strategic product vision, and world-class robotics engineering teams. You will act as the "engine room" for the product, deeply integrating with teams focused on perception, navigation, behavior, and locomotion to ensure the autonomy roadmap is technically feasible, pushes the boundaries of what's possible in the field, and meets evolving demands of key industrial customers.
Key Responsibilities:
- Partner with VP Robotics and Product organization to translate strategic portfolio goals into detailed technical roadmaps, owning prioritization, communication, and successful deployment of improvements across perception, behavior, navigation, and locomotion.
- Integrate key account insights into the product roadmap to align development priorities with customer business value and drive key metrics.
- Define and manage detailed product strategy to improve resilience, reliability, and coverage. Create clear value propositions and turn them into requirements including Operational Design Domain (ODD) to guide engineering efforts.
- Work daily with R&D teams to translate product needs into functional specifications, acting as primary product point of contact to ensure engineering trade-offs are balanced against customer value.
- Drive continuous improvement of robot reliability and safety by establishing KPIs for robot performance and leading efforts to identify and remediate bottlenecks.
- Anticipate technical challenges and edge cases within the autonomy stack, proactively identifying dependencies and risks early in development.
- Collaborate with field engineering to ensure successful feature deployment at key accounts, synthesizing real-world performance data into actionable product backlogs.
Requirements:
- Engineering or science degree with strong focus on Robotics, Computer Science, or equivalent.
- Proven experience with industrial customers and understanding of what drives their business and needs for robotic inspection.
- Experience in one or more core robotics disciplines: perception, path planning (navigation), robot behavior, or advanced control/locomotion.
- Experience in technical product management, ideally for complex hardware-software integrated products (e.g., autonomous vehicles, mobile robotics, or advanced consumer electronics).
- Experience defining ODDs for robotic or autonomous systems and managing safety and performance validation.
- Ability to communicate complex technical concepts effectively to both engineering teams and non-technical stakeholders.
- Proven ability to break down ambiguous, open-ended customer needs into concrete development sprints and deliverables.
- Systems thinking ability to see how software-driven behavior changes impact physical robot hardware and vice versa.
Bonus:
- Practical experience with real-world robotics deployments in industrial, unstructured, or outdoor environments.
- Experience with mission-critical systems or safety-certified development processes.
- Strong familiarity with modern robotics toolsets (ROS2, simulation environments, data-driven regression testing).
