This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Warren, Michigan three times per week, at minimum.

The Role

As a Technical Product Manager for Robotics Systems Integration, you will lead the definition, development, and integration of complex robotics solutions across manufacturing environments. This role requires you to bridge hardware and software disciplines, translating stakeholder needs into structured product requirements while ensuring alignment with business strategy, safety standards, and operational goals. You will work closely with engineering teams to drive technical discussions, manage tradeoffs, and guide products through the full lifecycle—from concept definition to deployment in production.

This position calls for strong technical fluency, cross-functional collaboration, and the ability to balance strategic priorities with hands-on involvement in daily development activities. Your leadership will ensure that robotics systems are designed for manufacturability, safety, and scalability, while meeting program milestones and driving continuous improvement.

What You’ll Do

• Synthesize Information : Gather input from user experience design, engineering, safety, operations, and business stakeholders to define product needs and priorities to create a unified view of product needs, design requirements, and team priorities.

• Develop, Document, and Maintain Product Inputs: Create product definitions tied to business strategy. Write product requirements and maintain them throughout the development cycle. Develop financial models to understand BOM cost sensitivity and ROI targets. Support program management by creating and managing prioritized backlogs and aligning feature definition and release plans with major program milestones.

• Embed with Engineering Teams : Participate in standups, design reviews, and technical discussions to stay aligned and proactively unblock development progress. Use your multidisciplinary technical expertise to facilitate product requirement tradeoff discussions across user experience, mechanical, electrical, and software teams.

• Collaborate Across Organizations : Identify opportunities to influence partner teams in design of adjacent physical and virtual manufacturing infrastructure. Develop requirements for “robot-friendly” interfaces. Build and maintain partner team relationships for seamless collaboration.

• Support Integration into Production : Own the full product lifecycle. Support design for manufacturability, deployability, and maintainability. Manage feature intake and issue triage for deployed products. Actively search out the voice of the customer to drive continuous improvement of our products.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

• Experience : 3–5 years in a technical product management role, with direct involvement in hardware/software co-development, systems integration, or robotics product delivery

• Requirements Development : Skilled in translating stakeholder input into structured product requirements, including functional specs, interface definitions, and verification criteria.

• Technical Fluency : Strong understanding of complex hardware/software systems, with the ability to engage in technical discussions and evaluate tradeoffs. A background in the design of complex electromechanical system design, advanced perception systems, and/or industrial safety systems is preferred. Comfort with learning new technologies and asking the right questions is essential.

• Communication : Excellent written and verbal communication skills, capable of translating technical concepts for diverse audiences.

• Tools : Familiarity with Jama Requirements Management, FigJam, Lucidspark/ Lucidchart , along with excellent communication in written narrative documents and slide presentations. Experience with common product and project management tools used in both Agile and waterfall development environments.

• Education : Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Robotics, or related field) preferred. Equivalent technical experience will be considered.

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• Experience launching robotic products

• Previous experience working with teams developing against industrial safety standards (ISO 13849, ISO 61508) or in an analogous regulatory environment (eg medical devices)

• Exposure to manufacturing environments and previous experience fielding products into live production
