Transforming industrial operations through physically embodied robotic AI and superhuman autonomy.
The Role
Field AI is transforming how robots interact with the real world. We are building risk-aware, reliable, and field-ready AI systems that address the most complex challenges in robotics, unlocking the full potential of embodied intelligence. We go beyond typical data-driven approaches or pure transformer-based architectures, and are charting a new course, with already-globally-deployed solutions delivering real-world results and rapidly improving models through real-field applications.
We’re looking for a hands-on Product Manager to partner closely with Product Engineering to drive clarity, speed, and customer alignment across our product development efforts. This role is deeply execution-oriented and designed to reduce friction for engineering, not add process. You will work directly with engineering leads to translate customer needs, technical constraints, and business priorities into clear product direction, well-defined requirements, and fast, informed decisions.
What You Will Get To Do:
- Define and own the authoritative product catalog, including products, versions, configurations, and exclusions
- Drive product vision, roadmap, and lifecycle decisions independent of any single customer
- Define supported use cases, boundaries, and explicit non-goals for your product area
- Make cross-customer tradeoffs and prioritization decisions that maximize reuse and long-term scalability
- Establish product-level acceptance criteria and validation expectations for customer missions
- Serve as final authority on what is considered in scope vs out of scope for your product linePartner with engineering, robotics, AI, and platform teams to align feasibility with product intent
- Prevent fragmentation, duplication, and customer-specific divergence across deployments
- Provide product truth to Scope Qualification and Product Communication teams for enforcement and messaging
What You Bring:
- 7+ years of experience in product management for complex technical products
- Experience defining products that scale across customers without custom divergence
- Strong judgment around scope, tradeoffs, and long-term product health
- Ability to operate with authority in a matrixed, customer-centric organization
- Proven ability to translate ambiguity into clear product definitions and constraints
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
What Will Set You Apart:
- Experience with robotics, autonomy, AI, or field-deployed systems
- Background working on safety-critical or operationally complex products
- Experience defining product catalogs, configurations, and commercial boundaries
- Comfort acting as the product “immune system” by saying no when necessary
- Track record of protecting product integrity while enabling revenue and delivery at scale
Our salary range is generous and we take into consideration an individual's background and experience in determining final salary; base pay offered may vary considerably depending on geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
Why Join Field AI?
We are solving one of the world’s most complex challenges: deploying robots in unstructured, previously unknown environments. Our Field Foundational Models™ set a new standard in perception, planning, localization, and manipulation, ensuring our approach is explainable and safe for deployment.
You will have the opportunity to work with a world-class team that thrives on creativity, resilience, and bold thinking. With a decade-long track record of deploying solutions in the field, winning DARPA challenge segments, and bringing expertise from organizations like DeepMind, NASA JPL, Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, Amazon, Tesla Autopilot, Cruise Self-Driving, Zoox, Toyota Research Institute, and SpaceX, we are set to achieve our ambitious goals.
Be Part of the Next Robotics Revolution
To tackle such ambitious challenges, we need a team as unique as our vision — innovators who go beyond conventional methods and are eager to tackle tough, uncharted questions. We’re seeking individuals who challenge the status quo, dive into uncharted territory, and bring interdisciplinary expertise. Our team requires not only top AI talent but also exceptional software developers, engineers, product designers, field deployment experts, and communicators.
We are headquartered in always-sunny Mission Viejo (Irvine adjacent), Southern California and have US based and global teammates.
Join us, shape the future, and be part of a fun, close-knit team on an exciting journey!
We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Candidates and employees are always evaluated based on merit, qualifications, and performance. We will never discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, national origin, ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability, or any other legally protected status.
