Requirements
Technical Foundation:
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
Physical Systems Experience:
5–8+ years of product management experience in robotics, automotive, aerospace, or advanced manufacturing (e.g., Tesla, SpaceX, Rivian, Amazon Robotics).
First-Principles Thinker:
You start with the laws of physics and the constraints of the facility, not just what the software can do.
Responsibilities
Ohalo is building the factory of the future for biology. To scale our technology, we must seamlessly integrate custom hardware, robotics, and operational software into our greenhouses and lab production facilities. We are seeking a Senior PM for Industrial Systems who thrives on physical constraints-throughput, cycle times, and floor-space optimization. This is a role for someone who wants to see their work move physical objects, not just pixels. You will solve for non-deterministic variables (like plant growth and biological health) that traditional manufacturing doesn't face. You should be comfortable designing the digital workflows that govern throughput, material flow, and real-time error handling in complex, non-deterministic environments. You will own the systems that move our "Boosted" plants from the lab into the world, solving the complex orchestration problems that arise when biology meets industrial-scale automation.
Architect the Physical-Digital Loop:
Own the product vision for how integrated hardware/software platforms work together to manage plant movement, sorting, and processing.
Design for Scale:
Work with Engineers to identify bottlenecks in our production lines and build the software and hardware/automation solutions to break them.
