ProductManager

## Description Radical AI is replacing an R&D process that currently takes 10+ years and $100 million to produce a single discovery. Our self-driving lab platform combines AI with autonomous robotics to run experiments, analyze results, and iterate—continuously, without human bottlenecks. For industries like aerospace, automotive, defense, energy, manufacturing, semiconductors, and space, that means breakthroughs in weeks instead of years. ## The Role We're looking for a Product Manager to own the software platform and agent layer at the core of what we build. This is a focused, high-leverage scope in a company where the product is genuinely novel — there's no established PM playbook for an AI-driven autonomous materials lab, and we're not looking for someone to follow one. You'll report to our President and Co-founder and work directly with scientists and engineers building systems without obvious analogs. In a company this size, that means being in the room for conversations that actually shape what gets built. Those conversations are substantive and sometimes contentious — this is a team with strong opinions and the technical depth to back them up. This is not a coordination role. We're looking for someone who drives product thinking — develops sharp intuitions about what matters, translates those into clear requirements, and holds the thread from discovery through delivery. That means being willing to defend a product position when engineers push back, knowing when to stand firm and when to update your view, and earning credibility through judgment rather than authority. It also means getting close to customers — understanding their problems well enough to define the right solutions, and thinking clearly about how product decisions translate into go-to-market. If your instinct is to manage a backlog rather than own an outcome — or to defer rather than decide — this isn't the right fit. ## What You'll Own Software platform: The product surface that scientists, en
