As we continue to scale the capabilities of the ANYmal platform, we are seeking a Product Manager for Physical AI.\nIn this role, you will be the bridge between our commercial goals, our strategic product vision and our 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 our autonomy roadmap is not only technically feasible but also pushes the boundaries of what is possible in the field and moves the needle to meet the evolving demands of our key industrial customers.\nYour Contributions\nRoadmap Execution: Partner closely with the VP Robotics and the Product organization to translate strategic portfolio goals into detailed technical roadmaps. Take ownership of the \"how\" and \"when\" for prioritizing, communicating and ensuring successful deployment improvements across perception, behavior, navigation, and locomotion.\n\nCommercial Value Driven: Integrate key account insights into the product roadmap to align development priorities with customer business value and drive key metrics\n\nAutonomy Strategy: Define and manage the detailed product strategy to improve Resilience & Reliability and Coverage. Create clear value propositions to move the metrics for key customers and turn those into requirements including the Operational Design Domain (ODD) to guide engineering efforts and ensure resilient and robust robot behavior in complex industrial environments.\n\nCross-Functional Technical Leadership: Work daily with R&D teams (Perception, Navigation, Locomotion) to translate product needs into functional specifications. Act as the primary product point of contact, ensuring that engineering trade-offs are balanced against customer value.\n\nPerformance Optimization: Drive the continuous improvement of robot reliability and safety. Establish KPIs for robot performance (e.g., success rates, intervention frequency, navigation efficiency) and lead efforts to identify and remediate bottlenecks.\n\nTechnical Risk Management: Anticipate technical challenges and edge cases within the autonomy stack. Proactively identify dependencies and risks early in the development lifecycle to ensure seamless integration between hardware capabilities and software features.\n\nField & Engineering Bridge: Collaborate with field engineering to ensure features get deployed successfully at key accounts. Synthesize real-world performance data and issues into actionable product backlogs. Ensure that lessons learned from deployments directly inform the technical evolution of the autonomy stack.\n\nYour Profile\nDeep Technical Background: Engineering or science degree with a strong focus on Robotics, Computer Science, or equivalent.\n\nIndustry Business Expertise: Proven experience with Industrial customers and understanding what drives their business and needs for robotic inspection.\n\nDomain Expertise: Experience in one or more core robotics disciplines: perception, path planning (navigation), robot behavior, or advanced control/locomotion.\n\nTechnical PM Experience: Experience in technical product management, ideally for complex hardware-software integrated products (e.g., autonomous vehicles, mobile robotics, or advanced consumer electronics).\n\nOperational Design Domain (ODD) Familiarity: Experience defining ODDs for robotic or autonomous systems and managing the safety and performance validation associated with them.\n\nCollaborative Mindset: Ability to communicate complex technical concepts effectively to both engineering teams and non-technical stakeholders.\n\nOutcome-Oriented: A proven ability to break down ambiguous, open-ended customer needs and requirements into concrete development sprints and deliverables.\n\nSystems Thinking: Ability to see the \"big picture\" of how software-driven behavior changes impact the physical robot hardware (and vice-versa).\n\nBonus Points\nPractical experience working with real-world robotics deployments in industrial, unstructured, or outdoor environments.\n\nExperience with mission-critical systems or safety-certified development processes.\n\nStrong familiarity with modern robotics toolsets (ROS2, simulation environments, data-driven regression testing).","description_format":"text","description_chars":4429,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Switzerland","iso":"CH","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Robotics AI","Industrial Robotics","Mining & Heavy Industry Robotics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-26T02:51:46Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":76,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.841,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":27,"expected_fill_days":61,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/anybotics-product-manager-physical-ai","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/anybotics-product-manager-physical-ai.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T16:08:58Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":24472,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":5988},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5988"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fanybotics-product-manager-physical-ai"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fanybotics-product-manager-physical-ai"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fanybotics-product-manager-physical-ai"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/anybotics-product-manager-physical-ai\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fanybotics-product-manager-physical-ai"}]}
