Technical Product Manager - Robotics Systems Integration

Job Description

At General Motors, our product teams are redefining mobility. Through a human-centered design process, we create vehicles and experiences that are designed not just to be seen, but to be felt. We’re turning today’s impossible into tomorrow’s standard —from breakthrough hardware and battery systems to intuitive design, intelligent software, and next-generation safety and entertainment features.

Every day, our products move millions of people as we aim to make driving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.

This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Warren, Michigan three times per week, at minimum.

As a Technical Product Manager for Robotics Systems Integration, you will lead the definition, development, and integration of complex robotics solutions across manufacturing environments. This role requires you to bridge hardware and software disciplines, translating stakeholder needs into structured product requirements while ensuring alignment with business strategy, safety standards, and operational goals. You will work closely with engineering teams to drive technical discussions, manage tradeoffs, and guide products through the full lifecycle—from concept definition to deployment in production.

This position calls for strong technical fluency, cross-functional collaboration, and the ability to balance strategic priorities with hands‑on involvement in daily development activities. Your leadership will ensure that robotics systems are designed for manufacturability, safety, and scalability, while meeting program milestones and driving continuous improvement.
