Product Manager, Field Experience

About the role

We are seeking a highly design-oriented Product Manager who thrives in the field, spending significant time in excavator cabs and on active construction sites to understand workflows and solve real-world problems firsthand.

Responsibilities

• Spend significant time on active job sites, riding with operators, observing crews, and understanding how autonomous excavation fits into the broader earthmoving operation.
• Own Voice-of-Customer for supervisors, operators, and field teams. Develop a clear understanding of how work actually gets done, and use those insights to influence the product roadmap grounded in field reality.
• Design the workflows and interfaces that allow people to supervise, understand, and manage autonomous excavators safely and productively, whether operating a single machine or an entire fleet.
• Drive rapid cycles of observation, prototyping, and validation using modern AI-assisted development tools.
• Ensure every product works under real construction-site conditions, including dust, vibration, intermittent connectivity, and harsh lighting.
• Help define the next generation of human-machine interaction for autonomous equipment.

Requirements

• A track record of learning directly from users and changing what gets built as a result.
• Excellent interaction design and information architecture fundamentals. You have a portfolio of products you can point to that show how digital helps solve real world problems.
• Strong problem-framing skills and the ability to distinguish symptoms from root causes, translating field observations into product strategy and roadmap direction.
• A builder's mindset. You're comfortable creating prototypes and working solutions, not just specifications.
• Experience using AI tools to accelerate design, prototyping, and product development.
• Genuine interest in industrial systems, construction, robotics, autonomy, or field operations.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to align engineering, design, and operations around a shared understanding of a problem.
• Comfort operating independently in ambiguous environments.
• Comfortable owning execution end-to-end while partnering with product leadership on strategy and priorities.

Qualifications

• Nice to have:
• Experience in construction technology, robotics, autonomy, industrial software, aviation, defense, manufacturing, or other operational domains.
• Background in field research, ethnography, human factors, or service design.
• A reputation for being the person who can walk into a messy situation, figure out what's actually happening, and explain it clearly.

Skills

• Excellent understanding of user needs and behavior.
• Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Experience with AI-assisted development tools.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.

Benefits

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience.
• Health insurance coverage.
• Flexible work schedule.
• Professional development opportunities.
• Work-life balance initiatives.
