Job description

What the role actually is

Apptronik is hiring a senior product manager for the hardware platform behind its humanoid robot. The role manages the platform as a complete product, using customer outcomes, field data, and engineering constraints to decide what the robot should become next.

This is not pure hardware program management. It is product work around a physical system already moving into field use, where customer value depends on how hardware, software, safety, and operations come together.

What you would work on

• Own the roadmap for Apptronik's humanoid hardware platform
• Translate field data and customer outcomes into product priorities
• Balance engineering tradeoffs, platform maturity, and commercial value
• Work across hardware, software, manufacturing, operations, and customer-facing teams

What they are asking for

• Product management experience with robotics, hardware platforms, or complex technical products
• Ability to connect field evidence with roadmap decisions
• Comfort working across engineering, operations, commercialization, and customers
• Strong judgment about platform tradeoffs across the product lifecycle

Why this one is worth a look

The useful question for humanoids is no longer just whether the robot can work in a demo. It is which platform choices make the system more valuable and reliable in the field, and this role owns that translation.
