Product Manager, Platform - Menlo

About Menlo

Menlo Research is an Applied R&D lab building Asimov, an open-source humanoid robot platform, and the full software stack that powers it. Our mission is to make humanoid labor economically viable -- turning software into physical labor at scale. We build across the full stack: hardware architecture, locomotion, autonomy, simulation, and infrastructure. We move fast, ship to real robots, and open-source everything we can. If you want your work to matter beyond a paper or a demo, this is the place.

The Role

Menlo is looking for a Product Manager, Platform to own the product direction across Menlo Platform and its adjacent systems including Uranus, Tokamak, and Perceptron. You will work directly with the engineering leads building the orchestration, telemetry, simulation, and training infrastructure that powers Asimov in the real world. This is not a typical software PM role. The customers are researchers and engineers, the product is deep infrastructure, and the stakes are whether robots actually work. You will define what good looks like for our internal and external developer experience, and drive the roadmap that gets us there.

What You Will Do

Own the product roadmap across Menlo Platform and related software infrastructure, working with engineering leads to define priorities, sequencing, and success criteria.

Partner with autonomy, locomotion, and simulation teams to understand their tooling requirements and translate those into platform product decisions.

Define and track developer experience metrics for internal teams building on top of Menlo Platform, and drive improvements based on usage and feedback.

Work with research engineers and infrastructure teams to scope, prioritise, and deliver software capabilities that enable faster iteration on robot behaviour.

Build the product documentation, release processes, and internal communication structures needed as the platform matures and the team grows.

Engage with external partners and customers deploying on Menlo Platform to gather requirements and validate product direction.

Identify and resolve cross-functional dependencies between software, hardware, and operations as Asimov moves from development to deployment at scale.

What You Will Bring

5 or more years of product management experience, with demonstrated depth in developer tooling, infrastructure, or platform products.

Track record of owning and shipping software products that serve technical users, whether internal engineering teams, researchers, or external developers.

Fluency in enterprise SaaS architecture as a system: databases and structured data layers (Airtable, relational databases), wikis and knowledge management, Kanban and business process workflows, event-driven and scheduled automation (n8n, Zapier, or equivalent BPM tooling), and access control models inc
