Principal Product Manager, Robotics Platform (Technical)

Amazon; New York (NY); On-site; USD 198,000 - 268,000; Full time

Job summary

Fauna Robotics, an Amazon company, is seeking a Principal Product Manager – Technical to own the product vision, roadmap, and execution for a next‑generation robot platform designed to validate safety-certifiable architecture and cost-optimized design for mass-market deployment.

You will lead cross-functional work across hardware, software, safety, science, and operations, define requirements, manage cost/performance/safety trade-offs, and drive end‑to‑end lifecycle from first builds to

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree.
• Experience owning/driving roadmap strategy and definition.
• Experience with feature delivery and tradeoffs of a product.
• Experience technical product management.
• 10+ years of product management experience in hardware or hardware + software products.
• 7+ years of experience shipping consumer electronics, robotics, or safety-critical systems through full development lifecycle (concept → EVT → DVT → PVT → mass production).
• Technical background (CS, EE, ME, or related engineering degree) with ability to drive architecture decisions.
• Experience managing BOM cost-down programs with aggressive targets.

Responsibilities

• Own the next-generation platform product roadmap end-to-end: requirements definition, architecture trade-offs, milestone planning, and delivery from engineering validation through mass deployment.
• Drive BOM optimization to achieve aggressive cost targets through compute platform decisions, sensor suite rationalization, and DFM execution.
• Define and manage product requirements for safety-certifiable autonomous operation, including hazard analysis and functional safety concepts.
• Lead cross-functional coordination across hardware (mechanical, electrical, compute), software (runtime, autonomy stack), science (locomotion, manipulation, navigation), and safety/compliance teams.
• Translate learnings from current developer platform into architecture decisions for the next-generation product.
• Define success metrics for large scale deployments.
• Drive trade-off decisions between weight, cost, sensor fidelity, compute capability, and safety margins.
• Partner with software teams to ensure the autonomy stack fits within a product-ready compute footprint.
• Ensure architectural decisions de-risk the downstream programs.
