About the Team 

DoorDash Labs is an independent team within DoorDash. We explore robotics and automation to transform last mile logistics in the long term. If you want to work on commercializing autonomy and robotics in a service used by millions of people, then we want to talk to you!

About the Role

Come help us redefine last-mile logistics through robotics, automation, and other advanced technologies! DoorDash Labs is an independent team inside of DoorDash incubating long-term bets and exploring new technologies that can be applied to transform last-mile logistics. We believe in the value of advanced technologies and strive to build meaningful applications of next-generation hardware and software to impact real-world needs.

We’re looking for a product manager to help bring autonomous drones and other  high-tech automation products to market, at scale. This role will focus on building the product platforms, tooling, and workflows required to enable autonomous operations and support successful program launches.

You will work closely with engineering, design, and ops to define and deliver products that operate at the intersection of software, hardware, and real-world constraints.

You're excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Drive the product definition, strategy, and long term vision of DoorDash robotics and autonomous delivery products
• Own cross-functional work streams spanning a broad group of stakeholders including software and hardware engineering, design, operations, legal, policy, communications, and business development.
• Lead product development across the full lifecycle, from early discovery and development through launch, commercialization, and scaling
• Build and evolve internal platforms and tools that support autonomous operations and day-to-day workflows
• Partner closely with operations and flight teams to translate real-world needs into scalable product solutions
• Define KPIs and success metrics, and communicate product strategy and results to key stakeholders including the leadership team
• Refine requirements based on the product strategy and business needs
• Ensure products are launch-ready by aligning technical, operational, safety, and regulatory considerations
• Work with a world-class team of engineers and business leaders to bring autonomy-powered solutions to life

We're excited about you because…

• You have 5+ years of Product Management experience in robotics, autonomy, AI, or other complex technical products. Preferably products involving both hardware and software
• You have experience in driving product strategy, vision, and roadmap alignment 
• You want to own a product across the full lifecycle from product development, through launch, commercialization, and scaling
• You love digging into data: defining metrics and KPIs based on product goals, owning reporting via dashboard and data visualization, and are familiar with SQL.
• You’re a hands-on owner, willing to drive execution in addition to strategy
• You are comfortable operating in ambiguity and navigating real-world constraints
• You are a skilled communicator, and have experience crafting and presenting product and business reviews to senior executives
• You approach product management with empathy for users
