Technical Product Manager, ML & Robotics at Mariana Minerals | LAYIQ

Must have
4–8+ years in technical product management, ML platform or robotics product roles, or equivalent experience leading cross-disciplinary technical programs
Comfortable being the only PM in a highly technical room — you know when to drive a decision, when to defer to engineers, and how to build credibility without being the most technical person there
Enough depth in ML systems — training, evaluation, deployment, perception, simulation — to earn credibility with both ML engineers and software engineers, and to know when a technical answer is a good one
Track record of bringing structure to ambiguous, cross-functional initiatives: setting direction, aligning stakeholders, and owning outcomes end-to-end
Strong prioritization and tradeoff skills — you know when to say no, and you say it visibly
Exceptional written and verbal communication across audiences, from ML engineers to operators to executives
Nice to have
Product ownership of an ML platform, MLOps stack, or simulation system in production
Prior work on industrial robotics, perception, or closed-loop optimization of chemical or industrial process systems
Familiarity with process simulation toolchains (SysCAD or similar)
Background in mining, energy, chemicals, manufacturing, or other heavy industry — especially industrial automation or sensor/vision data
Working fluency with the current LLM/foundation-model landscape and where it applies to ML and robotics workflows
Why This Role
Most ML PM roles hand you one model with an established roadmap. This role hands you the ML platform's path to autonomous process and chemical operations, the simulators that underpin it, the robotic systems that act on it, and the infrastructure it all runs on, at the moment they move from ad hoc experimentation and informal ownership into supported software. At Mariana, you don't need to validate product-market fit, because we are the market: if you identify a real problem and build a real solution, adoption is a conversation, not a sales cycle.
Our culture is built on four principles: Everyone Gets Home Safe.
We never put speed or cost ahead of people.
Extreme Ownership.
We take full responsibility for outcomes, relentlessly driving toward solutions.
Engineer Out Requirements, then Automate.
We simplify, optimize, and then automate for scale.
Share Your Legos.
We collaborate openly, share knowledge, and empower each other to build bigger, better solutions.
Join us as we build the future of responsible mineral sourcing and supply!
