About the role

  • In today's dynamic worksites, seamless collaboration between people and machines is essential.
  • While autonomous machines offer significant advantages, they also introduce new safety challenges.
  • FORT addresses these concerns by providing solutions such as the Wireless E-Stop, which allows operators to instantly stop any machine from a safe distance, enhancing safety during emergencies.

Responsibilities

  • Define and execute the 12-month ecosystem roadmap, prioritizing partner integrations, platform extensibility, and developer experience investments that drive platform adoption and market differentiation.
  • Build and maintain a structured view of the partner landscape: OEMs, system integrators, channel partners, and AI platform providers, identifying where FORT can become the embedded standard and sequencing investments accordingly.
  • Own the product strategy for FORT's handheld operator interface ecosystem, ensuring the platform supports the full range of deployment environments: from warehouse floor operators to field integrators, with the right interface, SDK, and configurability story.
  • Build the product scaffolding that enables
  • Partner with Engineering and QE to define integration acceptance criteria and validation protocols, ensuring partner integrations meet FORT's safety, reliability, and performance standards before they reach production deployments.
  • Maintain structured oversight of the partner portfolio including integration status, roadmap dependencies, and commercial milestones.
  • Surface blockers early and drive resolution across internal and external stakeholders.
  • Monitor partner deployment outcomes, field data, and support trends to identify systemic platform gaps.
  • Partner with Marketing and Sales to develop ecosystem narratives, partner launch playbooks, and technical collateral that position FORT as the platform of record for physical AI safety and control.
  • Energized by the challenge of making the physical world safer and more productive through intelligent machine systems, and by building the ecosystem that makes that possible at scale.
