Product Manager – Platform for Third‑Party Robot Partners

About the role

Rhoda AI is seeking a Product Manager to own the end‑to‑end definition of the Rhoda platform that enables third‑party hardware makers to run Rhoda’s generalist robot intelligence. You will shape the API, tooling, and integration experience that connects partner robots to our foundation models.

Key responsibilities

• Define and prioritize the platform’s APIs, developer tools, and integration workflow for partner hardware.
• Collaborate directly with partner engineering teams to translate hardware constraints and operational needs into clear product requirements.
• Set the technical boundaries between Rhoda systems and partner implementations, deciding what is exposed versus what partners build.
• Design and evolve partner qualification and certification processes as the ecosystem grows.
• Own the partner‑facing developer experience, including documentation, reference implementations, and testing/deployment tooling.

Required profile

• 5+ years of product management experience delivering platform, API, or integration products for physical hardware (e.g., robotics, autonomous vehicles, drones, industrial automation).
• Strong hardware‑software fluency; able to discuss kinematics, sensors, real‑time constraints, and communication buses with engineers.
• Proven track record of managing deep technical partnerships or OEM relationships.
• Business savvy with the ability to uncover customer buying signals and translate them into product packaging.
• Excellent written communication for crisp requirements and documentation.
