Direct robotics experience strongly preferred. * Partner instincts: you've run design-partner or OEM-partnership motions - small numbers of deep, technical relationships where the product and the partnership develop together. * Business savvy: you're comfortable in front of customers and partners, you ask the questions that reveal what they'd actually buy, and you can translate that into product and packaging recommendations. * Boundary-drawing judgment: much of this job is deciding what we own versus what partners own. You've made these calls before and can defend them. * Excellent writing: crisp requirements, structured reviews, and documentation that partner engineers can build from. Nice to Have (But Not Required) * Experience with embodied AI, robot foundation models, or the humanoid robotics landscape. * Experience designing certification, qualification, or "works with" programs. * Experience working with systems integrators or industrial automation ecosystems. * Experience as an early or founding PM at a tech startup. ## Description * Own the end-to-end product definition of Rhoda's platform for third-party hardware partners: the APIs, tooling, and integration experience that let partner robots run on Rhoda's models. * Work deeply and directly with partner engineering teams to understand their hardware, their operational environments, and their customers, and translate what you learn into clear platform requirements and priorities. * Define the technical and product boundaries between Rhoda's systems and our partners', deciding what we expose, what partners build, and what we support. * Design the partner qualification and certification experience, and evolve it as the partner ecosystem grows. * Own the partner-facing developer experience: documentation, reference implementations, and the tooling partners use to integrate, test, and deploy. * Conduct partner and customer discovery that informs packaging, prioritization, and the platform roadmap. * Write crisp, structured requirements and run reviews that keep engineering, research, and partners aligned., * Define a new business, not a feature: you'll be the platform's first and owning product manager from day one. * Shape how the world's robot makers access generalist robot intelligence. * Work at the intersection of frontier AI models and real partner hardware, with strong executive commitment behind the platform. ## Related Videos - [Stop Renaming Teams, Start Product Thinking: A PM's Guide to Platform-as-a-Product](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100342-stop-renaming-teams-start-product-thinking-a-pm-s-guide-to-platform-as-a-product) - [Rest API Antipatterns](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100208-rest-api-antipatterns) - [Edit Your Future: Queerverse Radical AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/909-edit-your-future-queerverse-radical-ai) - [How I built my own intelligent Robot Arm from Scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100097-how-i-built-my-own-intelligent-robot-arm-from-scratch) - [Robots are coming into the wild!
