Product Manager - Whole-Body Controller

About the role

Flexion builds the intelligence layer behind the next generation of humanoid robots, founded by scientists in robot reinforcement learning and backed by international VC firms. As Product Manager you will own the whole-body controller, the foundation of its autonomy stack, and scale it to thousands and then hundreds of thousands of robots. You will join the product team, working closely with research, infrastructure, go-to-market teams and customers.

Key responsibilities

• Own the whole-body controller as a product: packaging, positioning, target personas and the metrics that matter to customers, working with research on how those metrics are evaluated.
• Own the productisation of new robot integration: decide which integration steps become tooling, which self-serve and which need the team, and drive the roadmap that cuts onboarding time.
• Work with go-to-market and marketing teams on customer pitches, engagement models, positioning, strategy and the pricing model through the sales process.
• Run constant customer dialogue: feedback loops with OEM engineering teams, site visits during integrations and prioritised requirements.
• Map the needs of the developer SDK and partner with research and engineering on what gets built and tracked with adoption signals.

Required profile

• Product management experience on technical B2B products, ideally developer platforms, SDKs or ML products, at a high-growth startup or top tech company.
• Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics or equivalent experience.
• Working understanding of robot learning and control, including how policies are trained in simulation and why they differ on real hardware.
• Experience defining evaluations or benchmarks for ML models or autonomy systems and turning results into customer-facing claims.
• Experience working directly with B2B technical customers, ideally supporting integration into third-party hardware or platforms.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, and comfort in an early-stage, fast-moving environment.
• Willingness to travel to customer sites across Europe and beyond (up to 15%).
