We’re looking for a talented full-time Product Manager to help execute the strategy for our Robotics squad. The ideal candidate is excited to use their hands on engineering and/or robotics chops to reshape many core“last mile” use cases of solar farm asset management, while growing in the craft of product management. In this role, you will work at a fast, startup pace. The role will push you outside of your comfort zone by combining product sense, robotics experience and real-world conditions. For example, one week you may be doing discovery with users and building a go-to-market strategy for a new feature, then the next two weeks you may be coordinating with our team in the field and testing at a utility-scale solar farm.
The right candidate for this role will be able to juggle competing priorities, enjoys an outdoor adventure, is excited to travel as needed, and is resourceful.
