Rhoda AI is building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots with a full robotics stack spanning hardware, systems, infrastructure, and foundation world models. The company has raised over $450M and is scaling aggressively in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing.
You will lead product strategy and execution for Rhoda's digital interfaces—the software surfaces through which operators, customers, and internal teams interact with robots. Your ownership spans three core pillars: internal fleet management tools, support UIs including teleoperation, and HMIs (human-machine interfaces deployed on customer floors). This is a strategic and hands-on role requiring both vision-setting and detailed execution.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning the product vision, roadmap, and prioritization for digital interfaces, ensuring they meet customer and user needs as a coherent product family
- Spending time with customer stakeholders, operations teams, and field teams to understand real workflows and translate insights into product decisions
- Partnering closely with UX/UI design to iterate on research, concepts, and artifacts, balancing design rigor with pragmatic tradeoffs
- Shipping Rhoda's first internal fleet management, teleoperation tools, and robot UIs—building scalable products users love
- Working with robot software, controls, safety, and cloud teams to determine feasible scope, support development roadmaps, and ensure interfaces accurately reflect system state and capabilities
- Planning for scale and variation: roles and permissions, localization (including multilingual support), configurable workflows, and the balance between standard product and customer-specific needs
- Writing detailed, unambiguous requirements: user stories, functional specs, state and error-handling logic, and testable acceptance criteria
- Defining and tracking success metrics for each surface to reduce operator friction, errors, and support load as deployments scale
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
- 5+ years of product management experience with 8+ years of total experience, with a track record of shipping complex, user-facing digital interfaces into production
- Clear history of writing detailed requirements and acceptance criteria yourself; you own the details rather than handing them off
- Experience taking interfaces from design through development to launch, working closely with product managers, designers, and fullstack engineers
- Familiarity building or significantly improving a product development process (design handoff, spec templates, build review, QA, release)
- Experience with real-time, data-dense, or operationally critical software where the UI reflects live system state and errors have real consequences
- Technical fluency to work with engineers on APIs, data models, state machines, latency, and backend architecture
- Excellent written and verbal communication
Nice to have:
- Master's degree in a technical or engineering discipline, an MBA, or equivalent experience in robotics or machine learning
- Experience in robotics, industrial automation, manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, or autonomous vehicles
- Background in HMI, tele-op, or fleet/asset management software
- Experience designing for safety-critical interactions or working within functional safety constraints
- Familiarity with tablet or native mobile apps as well as web dashboards
- Experience shipping multi-tenant B2B products with customer-facing and internal views of the same system
- Experience as an early PM in a fast-moving startup environment
