Principal Product Manager – Robotics & Industry

Unity is the world’s leading platform for creating and operating real-time 3D content, and they are seeking a Principal Product Manager to lead their Robotics and Industrial strategy. This role involves owning the product roadmap, driving cross-functional leadership, and using data-driven decision-making to ensure the success of their industrial offerings.

Responsibilities:

• Drive Strategy and Roadmap: Own the execution of a unified robotics roadmap, ensuring technical and product alignment across internal Engine, Platforms, Cloud, and AI teams
• Engineering & Cross-Functional Leadership: Cultivate strong relationships with Engineering counterparts to lead product areas hand-in-hand. You will drive feature delivery across disparate teams, clearing roadblocks and aligning priorities
• Data-Driven Decision Making: Lead with an analytics-first mindset. You will use data to validate product-market fit, prioritize the backlog, and measure the success of industrial offerings
• Partnership & Ecosystem Exploration: Lead technical discovery with external partners. You will identify synergies and work closely with Business Development to understand and influence how collaborative contracts and partnerships are structured
• End-to-End Delivery: Act as a hands-on lead from ideation to launch. This includes defining detailed requirements that guide engineering teams and navigating the "Design, Build, Train, Operate, and Monitor" robotics lifecycle
• Executive & Customer Influence: Distill complex technical milestones into clear strategic updates for Unity leadership. You will also manage high-level relationships with key industrial partners to ensure their feedback drives our product evolution

• A proven track record of working independently to drive complex, multi-disciplinary initiatives to completion in a matrixed environment
• Demonstrated ability to use data and analytics to inform product strategy and drive organizational alignment
• Exceptional ability to simplify and articulate complex technical concepts, such as simulation, autonomous navigation, or sensor fusion to both engineers and executives
• Experience working alongside Sales or BD teams to support growth and navigate the fundamentals of strategic technology partnerships
• Experience with simulation software, Synthetic Data Generation (SDG), or Digital Twins
• Familiarity with modern AI training techniques (Reinforcement Learning or Imitation Learning) and their application in robotics
• Proficiency with Unity is ideal; experience with other 3D engines or simulation environments is needed
• Knowledge of how XR and spatial computing integrate into industrial 'operate and monitor' phases of the robotics industry
