Product Manager - Spot

As a product manager for Spot, you help design, build, and ship Boston Dynamics’ end-to-end industrial inspection solution, including software and hardware features, service offerings, and go-to-market plans.

The successful PM in this role will be enthusiastic about solutioning and really be able to help communicate how Spot provides an opportunity with these integrations. This role sits at the intersection of many teams, balancing the needs of internal and external stakeholders to deliver the best results for our customers. As this role will focus regionally on APAC markets, it will require occasional travel and working in those timezones.

Boston Dynamics is a world leader in mobile robots, tackling some of the toughest robotics challenges.
