Menlo Research is an Applied R&D lab building Asimov, an open-source humanoid robot platform. They are seeking a Technical Product Manager to oversee the lifecycle of robotics data collection programs, ensuring alignment between research teams, engineers, and operators.

Responsibilities:

• Own the end-to-end lifecycle of robotics data collection programs, from research requirements to delivered datasets
• Translate research goals into concrete collection protocols, task designs, and quality bars
• Run collection operations across multiple sites and teleoperators, keeping throughput, quality, and cost on track
• Partner with engineering to build and improve pipelines for high-fidelity sensor data such as video, robot logs, and teleop trajectories
• Set up and maintain physical collection rigs and hardware, and scale them as demand grows
• Define and track KPIs like throughput, yield, cost per hour of data, and turnaround time
• Find the bottlenecks, then build the fix. Do not just flag problems
• Keep researchers, engineers, and operators aligned on priorities and timelines
