What you'll do
- Own the product roadmap for on-robot software: task execution, navigation APIs, fault recovery workflows, and firmware interface contracts.
- Define acceptance criteria and simulation test suites for robot software releases; monitor live fleet telemetry to surface regressions and prioritise fixes.
- Specify versioned, backward-compatible API contracts between the robot stack, fleet orchestration layer, and WCS.
- Own the Fleet Management System (FMS) roadmap: real-time task allocation, multi-robot traffic management, zone-based routing, and throughput optimisation across heterogeneous fleets.
- Drive fleet health features — battery management, predictive maintenance alerts, automated rebalancing — and define KPIs: utilisation rate, cycle time, deadlock frequency, and MTTR.
- Own fleet provisioning UX: robot registration, map management, zone configuration, and operational parameter tuning.
- Own the integration product roadmap: REST/webhook APIs, WMS connectors (SAP EWM, Manhattan, Blue Yonder, Oracle), ERP integrations, and EDI support.
- Define data contracts for order ingestion, sort-to-destination logic, and fulfilment callbacks; set SLAs for API uptime, message latency, and retry policies.
- Build and maintain an Integration Playbook — API references, sandbox environments, and code samples — to reduce customer time-to-live; productise repeatable connectors into self-serve modules.
- Own the roadmap for all operator-facing UIs: Fleet Dashboard, Warehouse Control Console, sorting configuration UI, and mobile floor apps.
- Lead user research with warehouse managers and floor staff; define UX requirements and work with Design to produce wireframes and prototypes.
- Drive design system strategy — component reuse, visual consistency, and WCAG 2.1 accessibility across all Unbox UI surfaces.
What they're looking for
- 2–4 years in Product Management; 2+ years owning software in robotics, industrial automation, IoT, or enterprise SaaS
- Proven experience across 2+ of the four product areas: robot software, fleet management, integration products, or operator UI
- Strong grasp of agile delivery, API design, release management, and production observability
- Proficiency in SQL, Python notebooks, or BI tools for metrics and business case development
- Ability to write sharp PRDs, API contracts, and user stories; comfortable working with software, backend, and frontend engineers
- UX research skills user interviews, usability testing, journey mapping with hands-on experience collaborating with product designers
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management across engineering, customer success, sales, and leadership
- Data-driven mindset; comfortable defining and tracking product KPIs end-to-end
- B.Tech / B.E. in Computer Science, Electronics, Robotics, or related discipline (required)
Nice to have
- Familiarity with WMS/WCS platforms and warehouse order fulfilment workflows
- Experience with fleet management platforms for AMRs or AGVs
- Exposure to API integration ecosystems — REST, webhooks, event-driven architectures (Kafka)
- Knowledge of cloud-native architectures, microservices, and edge compute for robot fleets
- Experience with design systems and WCAG accessibility for industrial UIs
- Prior experience in a high-growth startup or Series A–C environment
- MBA or M.Tech in Product / Systems Engineering (preferred, not mandatory)

Product Manager (Software)
Product Team | Pune, India | In Campus
The Role
We are seeking a high-ownership Product Manager to own the complete software surface of our robotics platform — spanning the core robot software stack, fleet management across the sorting systems, AMRs, customer integration pipelines, and the operator-facing UI applications used on the warehouse floor every day. You will be the single owner of the software experience, from intelligence running on each robot to the dashboard a warehouse manager opens every morning.
Key Responsibilities
- Robot Software
- Own the product roadmap for on-robot software: task execution, navigation APIs, fault recovery workflows, and firmware interface contracts.
- Define acceptance criteria and simulation test suites for robot software releases; monitor live fleet telemetry to surface regressions and prioritise fixes.
- Specify versioned, backward-compatible API contracts between the robot stack, fleet orchestration layer, and WCS.
- Fleet Management
- Own the Fleet Management System (FMS) roadmap: real-time task allocation, multi-robot traffic management, zone-based routing, and throughput optimisation across heterogeneous fleets.
- Drive fleet health features — battery management, predictive maintenance alerts, automated rebalancing — and define KPIs: utilisation rate, cycle time, deadlock frequency, and MTTR.
- Own fleet provisioning UX: robot registration, map management, zone configuration, and operational parameter tuning.
- Customer Integration
- Own the integration product roadmap: REST/webhook APIs, WMS connectors (SAP EWM, Manhattan, Blue Yonder, Oracle), ERP integrations, and EDI support.
- Define data contracts for order ingestion, sort-to-destination logic, and fulfilment callbacks; set SLAs for API uptime, message latency, and retry policies.
- Build and maintain an Integration Playbook — API references, sandbox environments, and code samples — to reduce customer time-to-live; productise repeatable connectors into self-serve modules.
- UI Applications & Operator Experience
- Own the roadmap for all operator-facing UIs: Fleet Dashboard, Warehouse Control Console, sorting configuration UI, and mobile floor apps.
- Lead user research with warehouse managers and floor staff; define UX requirements and work with Design to produce wireframes and prototypes.
- Drive design system strategy — component reuse, visual consistency, and WCAG 2.1 accessibility across all Unbox UI surfaces.
- Execution & GTM
- Partner with Software, Backend, Frontend, and QA squads for sprint delivery; own stage-gate reviews from alpha through GA and post-launch retrospectives.
- Co-own GTM with Sales: release notes, demo environments, capability matrices, ROI models, and software packaging/pricing frameworks.
Requirements
- 2–4 years in Product Management; 2+ years owning software in robotics, industrial automation, IoT, or enterprise SaaS
- Proven experience across 2+ of the four product areas: robot software, fleet management, integration products, or operator UI
- Strong grasp of agile delivery, API design, release management, and production observability

We Value
- Bias for action and ownership mentality in a fast-paced startup environment.
- Portfolio of software products shipped 0→1 or scaled in industrial, logistics, or robotics context
- Ownership mentality you close loops, not just open them
- Systems thinking across robot behaviour, fleet coordination, and operator experience
- Empathy for warehouse operators; comfort translating floor observations into elegant software
