Senior Teleoperation Product Lead – Robotics & XR

Grit Ventures; Austin (TX); Presencial; USD 120 000 - 190 000; Tempo integral

Resumo da oferta

Apptronik in Austin, TX, seeks a Product Manager to drive the teleoperation vision and ensure seamless execution across the hardware/software divide, translating market needs into executable product roadmaps.

You will own the teleoperation product: a premier operator interface for data collection and customer fine‑tuning, leveraging VR/XR and human factors to maximize throughput, safety, and learning outcomes.

Qualificações

• Complex real-time operator interface or HMI experience under latency/safety constraints, or immersive interface products
• Background in human factors, HCI, or applied ergonomics — you understand how to design interfaces suited to operators, and how to measure operator performance and comfort
• Experience with teleoperation or remote operation of physical systems (robots, vehicles, drones, or similar)
• Strong analytical skills with experience in performance tracking and data-driven decision-making
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, enabling translation of technical insights into business impact
• You make decisions in uncertainty, prioritizing velocity over perfection
• You prioritize operator and user feedback, promoting and advocating for that voice to internal teams

Responsabilidades

• Own and maintain the Teleoperation roadmap: scope, sequencing, and feature priorities across the operator interface, data collection workflows, and customer fine-tuning workflows.
• Define requirements for the teleoperation interface — VR/XR rigs, control mappings, haptic and visual feedback, and situational-awareness displays — in partnership with design and engineering.
• Apply human factors rigor to the operator experience: cognitive load, fatigue, ergonomics, latency tolerance, embodiment mismatch, motion sickness, learnability, and time-to-proficiency.
• Partner with Data Collection operations to maximize teleoperated data collection throughput and quality.
• Connect operator experience to training outcomes: define the metrics that tie interface quality to the quality of demonstrations used for robot learning.
• Define and own the customer-facing fine-tuning workflow for deployed robots, including permissioning, safety controls, and operation over real-world networks.
• Define product features/enhancements and communicate requirements to engineering teams via clearly written requirements documents, diagrams, and concise verbal communication.
• Prioritize use cases based on business impact, feasibility, and customer needs, and ensure product development efforts align with real-world economic value for customers.
• Partner with UX, UX Research, and industrial design to validate and refine operator interfaces before deployment.
• Synthesize insights from operator feedback, usage data, customer meetings, and data-quality metrics into a strategy that delivers business objectives.
