Job description

Member of Technical Staff, PM-T, Frontier AI & Robotics (FAR)

Job ID: 10470408 | Amazon.com Services LLC

We are seeking a Product Manager, Data Strategy & Physical AI to define and execute the long-term product vision for FAR's AI-powered robotics platform. The intersection of foundation models and physical intelligence is creating a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine how intelligent systems perceive, reason, and act in the real world. We need a visionary product leader who can treat data as our primary competitive moat and translate research frontiers into scalable, production-grade capabilities.

In this role, you will champion our core data strategy for foundation model creation, building a partner and tool ecosystem to systematically acquire, label, and iteratively improve physical AI datasets. You will architect a continuous data collection flywheel across deployed robot fleets, transforming real-world kinematics, video, and force-torque telemetry from edge operations back into high-fidelity training tokens. Recognizing the limitations of real-world environments, you will also lead the strategy to create high-fidelity synthesized datasets, utilizing advanced physics engines and simulation to generate diverse training tokens at massive scale.

Key job responsibilities

• Data Acquisition & Labeling Ecosystem: Establish the partnerships, tools, and vendor pipelines necessary to acquire, curate, and continuously label multi-modal datasets for training large-scale models.
• Fleet Data Flywheel Infrastructure: Architect the framework for a continuous data flywheel that securely streams high-frequency kinematics, egocentric video, and force-torque telemetry from real-world robot fleets back into the training loop.
• Synthetic Data & Simulation Strategy: Define the strategy for generating high-fidelity, physics-aligned synthesized datasets using advanced simulation environments to scale training tokens for edge‑case scenarios and long‑horizon tasks.
• Data Compliance & Governance: Partner with operations, privacy, legal, and security teams to build enterprise‑grade data management pipelines that programmatically enforce data minimization, anonymization, and CCPA/GDPR compliance.
• Data Quality & Token Curation: Implement automated telemetry filtering and dataset pruning strategies to identify high-value operational logs, eliminate redundant fleet data, and optimize training compute costs.
• Cross‑Functional Physical AI Delivery: Act as the strategic bridge between machine learning research scientists, simulation developers, robotics engineers, and hardware teams to deliver data‑ready platform features that improve physical reliability.

About the team

At Frontier AI & Robotics, we’re not just advancing robotics – we’re reimagining it from the ground up. Our team is building the future of intelligent robotics through frontier foundation models and end‑to‑end learned systems. We tackle some of the most challenging problems in AI and robotics, from developing sophisticated perception systems to creating adaptive manipulation strategies that work in complex, real‑world scenarios. We leverage Amazon’s computational infrastructure and rich real‑world datasets to train and deploy state‑of‑the‑art foundation models. Our work spans the full spectrum of robotics intelligence – from multimodal perception using images, videos, and sensor data, to sophisticated manipulation strategies that can handle diverse real‑world scenarios. We’re building systems that don’t just work in the lab, but scale to meet the demands of Amazon’s global operations.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
• Experience with feature delivery and trade-offs of a product
• Experience with AI/ML technologies
• 10+ years of experience in technical product management
• Experience leading AI/ML platform or robotics product strategy
• Experience owning/driving roadmap strategy and definition for AI/ML or robotics systems

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in robotics design, automation systems development, control systems design, or related product development
• Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in AI, Machine Learning, Robotics, Computer Science, or a quantitative field
• Experience building and scaling AI/ML platforms (MLOps, model training infrastructure, data pipelines) from zero‑to‑one
• Experience working at the intersection of AI research and product commercialization – translating frontier science into customer‑facing products
• Demonstrated ability to partner with research scientists and lead through ambiguity in fast‑moving technical domains
• Experience with foundation models, deep learning systems, or computer vision at scale
