Staff Product Manager- Robot & Fleet Interfaces

Rhoda AI is building the next generation of generalist intelligent robots, owning the full robotics stack from hardware and robot systems to infrastructure and foundation world models. The company has raised over $450M and is investing in model research, infrastructure, hardware development, and manufacturing scale-up. The role is to lead multiple digital interface products used to operate, manage, and support Rhoda robots, spanning internal fleet management tools, support UIs including teleoperation, and HMIs used by customers on the floor. The role is both strategic and hands-on, working closely with product, human-robot interaction, and engineering teams to set direction across these surfaces and own end-to-end requirements and shippable product development.

Responsibilities

Own the product vision, roadmap, and prioritization for Rhoda's digital interfaces, so they rigorously meet customer and user needs as part of a coherent product family; Spend time with customer stakeholders, internal operations stakeholders, and field teams to understand real workflows on the floor, and turn what you learn into product decisions; Partner closely with UX/UI design to iterate on design research, concepts, and artifacts and turn them into shippable scope; Ship Rhoda's first internal fleet management, teleoperation tools, and robot UIs; Work with robot software, controls, safety, and cloud teams to determine feasible scope, support development roadmaps, and ensure interfaces accurately reflect real system state and capabilities; Plan ahead for scale and variation across customers and deployments: roles and permissions, localization (including multilingual support), configurable workflows, and the line between standard product and customer-specific needs; Write detailed, unambiguous requirements: user stories, functional specs, state and error-handling logic, and testable acceptance criteria; Define and track success metrics for each surface, and use them to reduce operator friction, errors, and support load as deployments scale; Own the product development process for digital interfaces at Rhoda

Requirements

A bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience; 5+ years of product management experience with 7+ years of total experience; Track record of shipping complex, user-facing digital interfaces into production; Clear history of writing detailed requirements and acceptance criteria yourself; Experience taking interfaces from design through development to launch, working closely with other product managers, designers, and fullstack engineers; Familiarity building or significantly improving a product development process, such as design handoff, spec templates, build review, QA, and 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

A 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
