About the role
Skydio’s flying robots are designed to behave less like tools and more like intelligent teammates—systems that can understand their environment, interpret goals, make decisions, and safely execute complex tasks with human oversight but not constant human input. As Staff Product Manager for Vehicle AI, you'll help shape this transformation. You'll own the roadmap for advancing vehicle intelligence, working closely with our world-class autonomy team spanning foundation models, machine learning, perception, planning, simulation, and autonomy UX, with algorithms running both at the edge on the vehicle and in the cloud. You'll partner closely with engineering, design, and customers to define and deliver what autonomous systems should do, how they should interact with humans, and the infrastructure required to continuously improve their capabilities. From data collection and training to evaluation and deployment, you'll help shape the future of autonomous robotics at Skydio.
What you'll bring
- 7+ years building deeply technical products in robotics, AI/ML, autonomous systems, or other complex software domains.
- Strong technical fluency and comfort working closely with engineers on system architecture, model performance, and technical tradeoffs.
- Experience building products that improve through data, machine learning, or continuous feedback loops.
- Experience and aptitude for large scale data analytics skills and ability to generate data-driven insights
- Passion for understanding real-world customer workflows and translating them into product strategy.
- Excellent judgment in ambiguous environments and the ability to prioritize high-impact opportunities.
- Strong ownership mindset and a track record of driving cross-functional initiatives from concept to deployment.
- Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
