Product Manager
Standard BotsThis Product Manager role involves building an accessible robotics platform for industrial automation. You will own a core platform area where software decisions directly impact physical production lines.
What you’d own
- Product discovery, strategy, and delivery for a core platform area
- Customer problem research via site visits and manual reviews
- Technical specifications and interaction flows for engineers and designers
Who it’s for
A fit if you…
- ✓You have 5+ years of experience in product, design, or engineering
- ✓You prioritize craft and design sense over just shipping features
- ✓You can break down high ambiguity into structured technical decisions
Not for you if…
- ✗You prefer managing processes over being a hands-on builder
- ✗You prefer purely digital products without physical, real-world consequences
Reading between the lines
- The emphasis on 'visiting sites' and 'reading manuals' implies you will be expected to do heavy, boots-on-the-ground field research.
- The requirement for 'clear specs that engineers can run with' suggests a high level of technical autonomy and responsibility for execution.

ABOUT STANDARD BOTS
Standard Bots is building the world’s most accessible robotics platform to bring advanced automation into manufacturing and beyond, with intuitive hardware and software that empower human productivity.
OVERVIEW
Industrial software has been ugly and hard to use for decades. We're trying to change that—bringing consumer-grade clarity and craft to a world that hasn't seen much of either.Most software products live on screens. Ours move metal. Your product decisions here have physical consequences. Software that's confusing doesn't just frustrate users—it stops production lines, or worse. Software that's good doesn't just get clicks—it makes a robot do something useful in the real world that it couldn't do before.
We're looking for a PM who is a builder first. Someone who wants to own the impact of a product area end-to-end. Someone who gets genuinely curious about how things work—software, hardware, customers, industries. Someone with product sense and taste who can tell the difference between "ships" and "good.”
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Own product discovery, strategy, and delivery for a core area of our platform (specifics depend on your strengths and interests)
- Go deep on customer problems—talk to users, visit sites, read manuals, understand how robots actually get used.
- Define what we're building and why, with clear specs that engineers can run with.
- Work hands-on with UX, interaction flows, and functional behavior — thinking through how an individual feature fits together with the rest of the system.
- Collaborate with engineers, designers to iterate prototypes, validate assumptions, and de-risk work early.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- 5+ years in product, design, engineering, or a similarly hands-on role.
- You've built and shipped things you're proud of—not just managed process.
- You think critically about customer problems and can break down ambiguity into structured decisions.
- You have design sense and care about craft—you notice when something is off and it bothers you
- You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience in industrial automation, AI, or robotics.
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:
THE SALARY RANGE FOR THIS ROLE IS $160,000 TO $225,000, DEPENDING ON EXPERIENCE. WE ARE OPEN TO A VARIETY OF SENIORITY LEVELS FOR THIS ROLE AND WILL BUILD COMPENSATION PACKAGES THAT ARE COMMENSURATE WITH SENIORITY AND SKILL LEVEL. BASE SALARY IS JUST ONE PART OF THE OVERALL COMPENSATION AT STANDARD BOTS. ALL FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS. WE ALSO OFFER A PACKAGE OF BENEFITS INCLUDING PAID TIME OFF, MEDICAL/DENTAL/VISION INSURANCE, LIFE INSURANCE, DISABILITY INSURANCE, AND 401(K) TO REGULAR FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES.
About Standard Bots
See all roles →Standard Bots builds AI-native industrial robots aimed at making automation affordable and easy enough for both Fortune 500 factories and small independent machine shops. Its flagship six-axis robot arm is pitched as easier to program than legacy options from the likes of Universal Robots and Kuka, and customers include NASA, Amazon, Verizon, and Lockheed. The robots are designed and assembled in-house in Glen Cove, New York, with a stated goal of full US manufacturing by 2027. The team comes from companies like NASA, Meta, Google, Stripe, and Rivian, and product sits at the center of a hard hardware-plus-software problem, so PMs here own the intersection of physical machines and the software that controls them.
