Senior Product Manager, Perception and Navigation

What the role actually is Apptronik is hiring a senior product manager for perception and navigation on Apollo. The role owns roadmap, scope, sequencing, and field-readiness decisions across detection, tracking, localization, mapping, and obstacle avoidance. This is a product role for a core autonomy layer. The work is about turning sensor data, customer needs, field failures, and safety constraints into concrete software priorities for a humanoid robot. What you would work on Own the roadmap for Apollo's perception and navigation software Define evaluation metrics, field-test regimes, and release criteria Shape requirements for perception data collection, labeling, and deployment feedback loops Partner with sensing, compute, autonomy, UX, industrial design, and product marketing teams What they are asking for Product management experience with perception, navigation, autonomy, or similarly technical software Ability to translate customer and field insights into executable product requirements Comfort defining metrics for detection, tracking, localization, mapping, latency, and regression risk Practical judgment about safety, failure modes, validation coverage, and on-robot compute limits Why this one is worth a look Perception and navigation are where humanoid promises meet messy physical reality. This role is interesting because it asks a product manager to own not just features, but the release discipline that decides when robot understanding is good enough to trust in the field. #J-18808-Ljbffr Therobotage
