About the Role
Waabi is seeking a Product Manager to lead product definition for the hardware platform that carries the Waabi Driver, across autonomous trucks and robotaxi. This role requires a product leader grounded in hardware who can translate complex needs into clear requirements and partner with engineering and external stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- Own product requirements for Waabi's hardware platform across trucks and robotaxi, turning field and integration feedback into requirements for future revisions and new vehicle platforms.
- Define how vehicles interact with people, including riders, law enforcement, first responders, and the public, covering exterior communication, cabin monitoring, safety, and resilience.
- Lead product definition for new hardware programs before engineering kickoff, translating real-world scenarios into requirements with clear acceptance criteria and verification plans.
- Bring an industrial design and human factors perspective to physical touchpoints and validate them hands-on in mock-ups and real vehicles.
- Build trusted relationships with OEM and supplier partners, understanding their constraints and processes, and keeping requirements aligned across organizations.
- Represent hardware credibly in cross-functional product decisions regarding feasibility, cost, and scope.
Requirements
- A hardware background, through an engineering degree (mechanical, electrical, systems, or similar) or equivalent hands-on experience, deep enough to earn engineering teams' trust while you work at the requirements level.
- 8+ years of experience in product management, hardware product, or systems engineering roles on physical products, ideally in automotive, autonomous vehicles, robotics, or complex consumer hardware.
- A track record of taking hardware from concept to production, with an understanding of how requirements evolve across prototype and sample stages.
- Industrial design experience, through formal training or close work with industrial designers on shipped products, and strong instincts for HMI and human factors.
- Strong requirements writing skills. You can turn a messy real-world scenario into a clear, testable requirement, with acceptance criteria and a verification method such as test, analysis, inspection, or demonstration.
- Experience building working relationships with OEMs and suppliers, and an understanding of how they develop, source, and deliver hardware.
- A commitment to trust, transparency, and honesty in a safety-critical environment.
- Willingness to be on site regularly for mock-ups, vehicle evaluations, and testing.
