About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the Autonomy Platform roadmap. From perception and grasp planning through motion control and exception handling — define what we build, what we don't, and in what order. Partner with engineering leadership to make tradeoffs between current customer reliability and future capability.
Productize the autonomy stack. Pickle's autonomy isn't just code that runs the robot — it's the platform we believe will power our own truck-loading product and, in the longer term, serve as an autonomy layer for the broader industry. You'll help shape what that productization looks like.
Treat simulation as a product. SIM is how we ship safely. Define how the simulation environment evolves to support faster iteration, broader scenario coverage, and pre-deployment validation that actually predicts field behavior.
Reason about probabilistic systems. Every ML model in our stack has a failure mode. You'll define what "good enough to ship" looks like — failure modes, fallbacks, human-in-the-loop thresholds, intervention rates — and you'll defend those criteria against demo-driven optimism.
Get out of the office. Pickle PMs go where things happen. You'll spend time at customer docks, with operators, watching real trailers get unloaded and real edge cases get caught.

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years of product management experience, with at least 2 years shipping products where ML, robotics, or other probabilistic systems were core to value — not adjacent to it.
Comfortable with a hardware+software product. You understand that hardware iterations are slow and expensive, software iterations are fast, and ML behavior is neither, and you scope accordingly.
Fluent with autonomy and ML engineering teams. You don't need to implement gradient descent yourself, but you can have a real conversation about perception failure modes, planning constraints, and model evaluation.
Platform PM instincts. You've shipped internal platforms, SDKs, simulation environments, or developer tools — and you measure success in downstream team velocity and reliability, not feature count.
Strong writer. PRDs, one-pagers, MRDs, release notes. We write things down at Pickle.
Bias to action and to simplification. You ship; you don't over-architect; you push back when scope creeps.
Comfortable with creative conflict. You disagree well, assume positive intent, and stay focused on the idea.
Bonus: prior experience in robotics, logistics, supply chain, simulation tooling, or AV stacks.
