Technical Product Manager (FR)

Genesis Therapeutics

Paris, France

Hybrid

Who this role is best for

Best suited to candidates with technical product experience in robotics or AI deployment working in field operations and research environments.

Best fit for

Candidates with technical product experience in robotics or AI deployment and a field operations background
— “Customer-facing, supervising technically POCs and pilots for Genesis customers & partners”
Individuals who thrive in ambiguous technical tradeoffs and can define product readiness criteria
— “Define what 'ready for a customer site' actually means by setting success metrics, reliability thresholds, and scope boundaries for each release”

Things to consider

The role requires a strong preference for real-world field evaluation over theoretical or lab-based success metrics
— “Strong bias toward the field over the whiteboard, preferring to evaluate a failed pick on a live customer floor over reading ten synthetic benchmark reports”
Candidates must be comfortable working with incomplete information in a nascent and evolving field
— “Comfort operating with incomplete information in a fast-moving, pre-paradigm field where answers aren't obvious”

How to stand out

Highlight experience in translating research into customer-facing products with concrete examples
— “Own the product roadmap needed for deployment for our core Physical AI capabilities, translating research breakthroughs into deployable, customer-facing products”
Emphasize your ability to ask the right technical questions without coding
— “Deep enough technical understanding to read a policy evaluation, understand a sim-to-real gap, or participate in complex debug sessions and ask the right questions without needing to write the code yourself”
Demonstrate your ability to lead cross-functional teams in distributed environments
— “Drive cross-functional alignment across distributed teams in research, engineering, and field operations”
Include examples of managing technical tradeoffs in ambiguous scenarios
— “Sit at the intersection of research, robotics engineering, and field deployment to turn ambiguous technical tradeoffs into clear product decisions”

About the role

Original posting from Genesis Therapeutics via Ashby

What You'll Do
Own the product roadmap needed for deployment for our core Physical AI capabilities, translating research breakthroughs into deployable, customer-facing products.
Sit at the intersection of research, robotics engineering, and field deployment to turn ambiguous technical tradeoffs into clear product decisions.
Define what "ready for a customer site" actually means by setting success metrics, reliability thresholds, and scope boundaries for each release.
Drive cross-functional alignment across distributed teams in research, engineering, and field operations.
Customer-facing, supervising technically POCs and pilots for Genesis customers & partners and for internal projects
Working closely with the robotics team on requirements (robot, data collection, privacy, infra constraints)
What You'll Bring
Track record of shipping technical products where the primary challenge was managing complex tradeoffs, not filling out roadmap slides.
Deep enough technical understanding to read a policy evaluation, understand a sim-to-real gap, or participate in complex debug sessions and ask the right questions without needing to write the code yourself.
Strong bias toward the field over the whiteboard, preferring to evaluate a failed pick on a live customer floor over reading ten synthetic benchmark reports.
Exceptional written communication skills to write specs and decision logs that hold up when you're not in the room.
Comfort operating with incomplete information in a fast-moving, pre-paradigm field where answers aren't obvious.
International expertise and connections
Bonus:
Prior experience in deployment, robotics, autonomy, or another domain where "works in the lab" and "works in the world" carry vastly different bars for success.
