About Standard Bots

The all-in-one, most intuitive, most affordable industrial robots. Backed by General Catalyst.

About the role

Industrial hardware has been slow-moving and hard to iterate on for decades. We're trying to change that—bringing a consumer-grade pace of iteration and craft to a world that hasn't seen much of either. Most hardware products ship once and live with their decisions for years. Ours need to move fast, get into the field, get tested against reality, and improve—because a robot that doesn't hold up on a factory floor doesn't just frustrate a customer, it stops their production line.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years in hardware product management, ideally with hands-on experience building robotics products
  • Experience taking a hardware product from 0-1 - from early concept and market validation through to a released product
  • You're comfortable running iterative test-and-learn cycles with physical prototypes, not just software
  • You've built and shipped things you're proud of - not just managed process
  • You think critically about customer and market problems and can break down ambiguity into structured decisions
  • You have design and engineering sense and care about craft - you notice when something is off and it bothers you

We're looking for a Hardware PM who is a builder first. Someone who wants to own a product from a blank sheet of paper through to a customer relying on it every day. Someone who understands the market well enough to know what's worth building, and who treats every prototype as a question to be answered rather than an answer to be defended. Someone with product sense and taste who can tell the difference between "ships" and "good.”
