StandardBots Senior Product Manager, Hardware at StandardBots leads product discovery, strategy, and delivery for hardware products from concept to shipped product. This role involves iterative testing, customer engagement, and collaboration with engineering teams to balance cost, manufacturability, and performance.

Responsibilities

Own product discovery, strategy, and delivery for a hardware product area from 0-1—from market insight and concept through to a shipped, supportable product.
Build a sharp point of view on the market: who the customer is, what they're solving for today, where competitors fall short, and where the real opportunity is.
Drive iterative testing loops - prototype, test against real-world conditions, learn, and revise quickly.
Go deep on customer problems -talk to users, visit sites, understand how hardware actually gets used in the field.
Define what we're building and why, with clear specs and requirements that engineers can run with.
Work hands-on with mechanical, electrical, and firmware engineers to make trade-offs between cost, manufacturability, performance, and schedule.
Collaborate with design and engineering to de-risk assumptions early, before they're expensive to fix.

Qualification

5+ years in hardware product managementFamiliarity with CAD tools (SolidWorksPrior experience at a robotics

Required

5+ years in hardware product management, ideally with hands-on experience building robotics products.
Experience taking a hardware product from 0-1 - from early concept and market validation through to a released product.
You're comfortable running iterative test-and-learn cycles with physical prototypes, not just software.
You've built and shipped things you're proud of - not just managed process.
You think critically about customer and market problems and can break down ambiguity into structured decisions.
You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred

Mechanical engineering degree (or related discipline), with real hands-on design or build experience.
Experience running structured tests on physical products - DOE, prototype validation, reliability or environmental testing.
Familiarity with CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion 360), DFM/DFA and manufacturing processes (injection molding, sheet metal, CNC), and electromechanical systems, motors, or controls - enough to read a drawing, sanity-check tolerances (GD&T), and make informed trade-offs with engineers.
Prior experience at a robotics, automation, or industrial equipment company, with a feel for how that market evaluates and buys products.
Startup experience owning a product end-to-end across both hardware and software, without staying confined to one discipline.
