About the role

  • As a Product Manager, you will be the primary link between our customers, the market, and our world-class engineering team.
  • You will define the "What" and the "Why" of our products, turning the vision of human-like dexterity into a concrete product roadmap.
  • You will spend your time deeply understanding customer pain points in the field and working with engineering to determine how our unique technology can solve them reliably and at scale.

Responsibilities

  • Product Roadmap: Own the product roadmap. Prioritize features and hardware developments based on market demand, technical feasibility, and Eka's long-term mission.
  • Requirement Documentation: Write detailed Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) that provide clear guidance to the engineering team, ensuring every feature has a defined user value and success metric.
  • Competitive Analysis: Stay ahead of the robotics landscape, understanding emerging trends in dexterous manipulation to maintain Eka's pioneer status.
  • Go-to-Market Support: Work with leadership to define pricing, positioning, and certification requirements (Safety, IP, etc) for different industry verticals.
  • Own the product roadmap.
  • Stay ahead of the robotics landscape, understanding emerging trends in dexterous manipulation to maintain Eka's pioneer status.

Requirements

  • Strategic Thinking: Proven ability to synthesize complex customer feedback into a structured, prioritized product roadmap.
  • Technical Fluency: Ability to engage in deep technical discussions with hardware and software engineers.
  • Partner closely with the R&D and Engineering teams to evaluate whether existing technology supports market needs or if new developments are required to hit performance targets.
