Product Lead - Robotics Data Operations

Turing is expanding into Physical AI
. We are establishing a dedicated data operation to fuel the next generation of robotics foundational models.

We are looking for a Product Lead, Robotics Data Operations to lead the build and deployment of a proprietary data ingestion, processing and labeling platform designed specifically for robotics & physical AI.

You will sit at the intersection of Product Management
, Engineering Management
, and Service Delivery and will leverage a strong technical architecture & software engineering background to manage the technical roadmap, while simultaneously incubating the operations that will utilize the tool to deliver datasets to customers.

• Own the
  
  Roadmap:
  
  Define the vision and feature set for our internal Robotics Data Platform. This tool must handle complex multimodal data types specific to robotics datasets.
• Engineering Management: Act as the Product Owner for a dedicated team of software engineers. Translate business requirements into technical user stories, manage sprint priorities, and ensure the infrastructure is scalable and secure.
• UX & Workflow Design: Design the interfaces to maximize efficiency for human annotators working on complex tasks.
• Pipeline Architecture: Define the requirements for high-volume data ingestion pipelines. You will direct the engineering team on how to architect systems that ingest raw data from disparate sources and prepare it for the labeling platform.
• Quality Control Systems: Spec out automated programmatic QA features to be built into the tool, reducing the reliance on manual review.

• Technical Translation: Participating in discussions with leading robotics labs and foundation model builders. Translate their high-level objectives into data collection protocols and platform feature requirements.
• Feasibility Analysis: Assess whether customer requirements can be met with current tooling or if new engineering features need to be prioritized.

• Project Execution: Leverage the tool once operational to project manage actual data delivery for initial customers, owning the timeline, budget, and final quality output.
• Workforce Management: Recruit, train and manage specialized annotators and reviewers on these projects.
• Dataset Delivery: Ensure final datasets are exported as per the exact formats and quality standards required by the customer.

• 7+ Years of Relevant
  
  Experience:
  
  We are looking for a seasoned professional who has seen the full product lifecycle multiple times. Ideally 3-5 years in hands-on Software Engineering followed by 3-5 years in Product Management or Technical Program Management.
• Product
  
  Experience:
  
  You have successfully managed engineering teams and shipped complex software products.
• Operational Rigor: You are not just a product manager; you are an operator who can take responsibility for managing timelines, teams, budgets, and ensuring high-quality delivery under pressure.
• Technical Pedigree: A background in Computer Science or Software Engineering is critical. You have past hands-on experience with Python, Cloud Infrastructure (AWS/GCP), and Computer Vision pipelines.
• Physical AI/Robotics Context: You understand the unique data requirements for training robotics foundational models.

Based in San Francisco, California, Turing is the world’s leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems.
