About the job Data Technical Product Manager
About the Opportunity
Our client, a well-funded, early-stage robotics and AI company is seeking a highly technical and execution-oriented Data Technical Product Manager (TPM) to own the end-to-end data infrastructure powering next-generation machine learning systems.
This role sits at the intersection of machine learning, data engineering, operations, and product management. You will be responsible for building and scaling the data flywheel that transforms raw data collected from deployed robotic systems into high-quality training datasets used to improve AI performance.
The ideal candidate has experience managing large-scale data operations, working closely with ML teams, and translating ambiguous technical requirements into structured execution plans.
This is a unique opportunity to join a rapidly growing robotics company building cutting-edge autonomous systems while working directly alongside world-class engineers, researchers, and founders.
What You’ll Do
Own the End-to-End Data Platform
Drive the roadmap for the central data platform.
Manage the complete data lifecycle from capture through ingestion, storage, labeling, curation, and delivery to ML training pipelines.
Partner with engineering teams to scale infrastructure supporting large-volume datasets.
Partner with Machine Learning Teams
Translate ML research requirements into actionable data collection and annotation specifications.
Define dataset requirements and collection strategies to support model development.
Ensure researchers have access to reliable, high-quality training data.
Define Data Quality Standards
Create QA frameworks, audit processes, and validation workflows.
Establish standards for data quality, coverage, consistency, and labeling accuracy.
Identify sensor drift, data degradation, and annotation issues before they impact training outcomes.
Manage Data Annotation Operations
Source and manage third-party labeling vendors.
Define vendor performance expectations and quality metrics.
Conduct audits and implement continuous improvement initiatives.
Build Data Discovery & Infrastructure Capabilities
Partner with infrastructure and platform engineers to improve:
Cataloging
