Job description

About Standard Bots

Standard Bots is building the world’s most accessible robotics platform to bring advanced automation into manufacturing and beyond, with intuitive hardware and software that empower human productivity.

Overview

Industrial software has been ugly and hard to use for decades. We're trying to change that—bringing consumer-grade clarity and craft to a world that hasn't seen much of either.Most software products live on screens. Ours move metal. Your product decisions here have physical consequences. Software that’s confusing doesn’t just frustrate users—it stops production lines, or worse. Software that’s good doesn’t just get clicks—it makes a robot do something useful in the real world that it couldn’t do before.

We're looking for a PM who is a builder first. Someone who wants to own the impact of a product area end-to-end. Someone who gets genuinely curious about how things work—software, hardware, customers, industries. Someone with product sense and taste who can tell the difference between "ships" and "good.”

What You Will Do

• Own product discovery, strategy, and delivery for a core area of our platform (specifics depend on your strengths and interests)

• Go deep on customer problems—talk to users, visit sites, read manuals, understand how robots actually get used.

• Define what we're building and why, with clear specs that engineers can run with.

• Work hands-on with UX, interaction flows, and functional behavior — thinking through how an individual feature fits together with the rest of the system.

• Collaborate with engineers, designers to iterate prototypes, validate assumptions, and de-risk work early.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years in product, design, engineering, or a similarly hands-on role.

• You’ve built and shipped things you’re proud of—not just managed process.

• You think critically about customer problems and can break down ambiguity into structured decisions.

• You have design sense and care about craft—you notice when something is off and it bothers you

• You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Experience in industrial automation, AI, or robotics.

Compensation and Benefits:

The salary range for this role is $160,000 to $225,000, depending on experience. We are open to a variety of seniority levels for this role and will build compensation packages that are commensurate with seniority and skill level. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.
