Job description

About Origin

Origin is building general-purpose autonomous robots for critical infrastructure buildout. Our priority is the buildout the US cannot afford to slow down: data centres and power plants, where rising costs, safety risks, and labour shortages hit hardest. Our modular, multi-trade platform combines purpose-built hardware with real-time site intelligence to navigate complex environments and execute tasks with precision. Trained in high-fidelity simulation and already deployed on live sites, our robots deliver 5x faster execution, 250%+ margin expansion, and significant cost savings. Join India's most talent-dense robotics team, consisting of individuals from IITs, Stanford, UCLA, and more.

About the role

We're looking for a Product Manager who sits at the intersection of engineering, customer needs, and business strategy. You'll own the roadmap for one or more of our core robotics products from early concept through to customer deployment working closely with hardware engineers, software developers, and commercial teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and prioritize the product roadmap, balancing customer impact, technical feasibility, and business goals
• Work closely with engineering teams (hardware, firmware, software) to define clear requirements and ensure timely delivery
• Conduct customer discovery calls, site visits, and interviews to deeply understand pain points in industrial/robotics environments
• Translate complex technical capabilities into clear value propositions for customers and stakeholders
• Define success metrics and track product performance post-launch
• Collaborate with sales, marketing, and operations teams to support go-to-market strategies
• Stay current on trends in robotics, automation, and adjacent industries

Required Qualifications and Skills

• 3–6 years of product management experience, ideally in hardware, robotics, industrial tech, or deep-tech
• Strong technical foundation, you can hold your own in conversations with engineers about systems, sensors, or software architecture
• Experience working on physical products (a big plus)
• Excellent communication skills — written, verbal, and visual
• Comfort with ambiguity and ability to make decisions with incomplete information
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field (or equivalent experience)

Preferred Experiences

• Hands-on experience with robotics
• Experience with Agile/Scrum product development
