Full description
Do you understand how human movement data can create value in robotics? Xsens digitizes human movement at high fidelity, and humanoid robotics is rapidly expanding the ways this data can support robot development, control, training and validation. We are looking for a product manager who can understand this evolving market and define where Xsens can create distinctive customer value.
Who is Xsens
Xsens is a leading full-stack provider of motion sensors, software, and analytics that enable the digitization of human movement. Partnering with global brands including NVIDIA, Electronic Arts, Netflix, and Toyota, as well as the world's leading humanoid robot manufacturers, Xsens turns motion data into meaningful, actionable insight. Xsens is a portfolio company of Francisco Partners. Visit www.xsens.com to learn more.
The Body Sensor Networks (BSN) division sells full-body motion capture systems that create a digital twin of human movement, combining hardware, software, and a recurring revenue model. Humanoid robotics is the fastest-growing segment within BSN and one of the most strategically critical businesses within Xsens as a whole.
Your role as Product Manager Humanoid Robotics & Data at Xsens
Xsens is seeking a senior product manager to own the humanoid robotics and data product strategy within BSN. This role sits at the intersection of human motion digitization, robotics, artificial intelligence and product strategy. You will stay extremely close to customers and end users, understand how the market is evolving, and translate those insights into product direction and new opportunities for Xsens.
A key part of the role is understanding the broader robotics workflow beyond motion capture. You should understand how human movement data is used across robot development, training and validation, how customer needs are changing, and where additional data, software, integrations or services could create value. This includes exploring how Xsens can create more value from the data generated through its technology without assuming a predetermined solution.
You need enough technical depth to challenge assumptions and work effectively with engineering and customer teams. When useful, you can use lightweight prototypes or experiments to validate an idea quickly, but the objective is evidence and customer learning rather than prototyping for its own sake.
You will own the roadmap for this domain and work as one product team with Sales, Product Marketing Managers, engineering, core algorithms, support and the Product Managers responsible for related Xsens products. You will also take the product lead in selected strategic partnerships that strengthen the overall proposition. You define minimum requirements, make tradeoff decisions and are accountable for product outcomes.
