About The RoleProduct Manager

Applied Intuition is looking for a Product Manager who is passionate about building the agentic tooling platform that enables Physical AI across many domains. This role carries ownership on two levels: platform ownership of capabilities shared across multiple verticals, and deep, hands‑on execution in one or more verticals powered by this platform. This is a high visibility role with lots of responsibility.

Responsibilities:

• Develop a clear point of view on what to build, grounded in the market, customer use cases, pain points, and business goals — both at the platform level and within your specific vertical(s).
• Decide which platform capabilities should be vertical-specific versus vertical-agnostic, and drive that prioritization with engineering.
• Partner closely with product, engineering, and design to shape the product vision, work through tradeoffs, and prioritize what gets built.
• Partner actively with TPMs and eng managers to own the complete product lifecycle, from launch through ongoing releases for your specific areas.
• Present product capabilities to customers regularly, gather feedback, spot areas for growth, and help scale the tools org.
• Sharpen product positioning and create marketing briefs, blog posts, and other content that helps tell Applied's story
• Work with sales and customer leads to shape go-to-market strategy, pricing, and customer engagement

Required:

• 2+ years of Product Management experience at a top tech company or high-growth startup
• Ability to build trust and relationships across a large engineering org, and quickly get up to speed on complex, multi-dimensional topics
• Insatiable curiosity about what's next, paired with an ambitious drive to execute and win
• Strong technical background, with real understanding and/or hands‑on experience in software development.
• Prior experience in Physical AI — autonomy, robotics, simulation, computer vision, or ML — is a strong differentiator and often leads to a good fit
• MS/BS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience
• Proven ability to manage all aspects of a product throughout its lifecycle
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Nice to have:

• Prior experience in agentic AI — assistants, agents, eval frameworks, model training and evaluation would be a great differentiator
• MBA from a top program, for a well-rounded view of product and business development
• A sharp instinct for recognizing product-market fit
• Exposure to hypergrowth at a startup from Series A to IPO
