Principal Product Manager

FORT is seeking a Principal Product Manager to lead our most foundational product initiatives. This role will define what we build and why, translating customer pain, industry standards, and strategic vision into executable product requirements. You’ll work at the intersection of hardware and software, partnering closely with engineering, safety, sales, and leadership to drive clarity and momentum. This is not a traditional product role—we’re seeking someone who thrives in ambiguity, understands safety-critical systems, and has a builder’s mindset. You’ll lay the groundwork for a scalable product function at FORT, while helping define the future of autonomy and human-machine interaction. In this role, you will own the development of FORT’s product roadmap and product requirements documents (PRDs) with clear business rationale, technical feasibility, and regulatory awareness. You will also lead customer discovery and pain-point synthesis across industrial automation, robotics, and safety markets. The role will also require you to represent FORT at conferences and industry events, including speaking engagements.
