About Cyngn
Based in Mountain View, CA, Cyngn is a publicly-traded autonomous technology company. We deploy self-driving industrial vehicles like forklifts and tuggers to factories, warehouses, and other facilities throughout North America. To build this emergent technology, we are looking for innovative, motivated, and experienced leaders to join us and move this field forward. If you like to build, tinker, and create with a team of trusted and passionate colleagues, then Cyngn is the place for you. Key reasons to join Cyngn: 

We are small and big.
With under 100 employees, Cyngn operates with the energy of a startup. On the other hand, we’re publicly traded. This means our employees not only work in close-knit teams with mentorship from company leaders—they also get access to the liquidity of our publicly-traded equity.

We build today and deploy tomorrow.
Our autonomous vehicles aren’t just test concepts—they’re deployed to real clients right now. That means your work will have a tangible, visible impact.

We aren’t robots. We just develop them.
We’re a welcoming, diverse team of sharp thinkers and kind humans. Collaboration and trust drive our creative environment. At Cyngn, everyone’s perspective matters—and that’s what powers our innovation.

About this role:
Cyngn is expanding its Product Management organization and is seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead the strategy and execution of our Autonomous Forklift platform. This role owns the end-to-end product lifecycle for one of Cyngn’s most critical autonomy offerings—spanning vehicle capabilities, autonomous driving software, fleet management, and customer system integration.

You will be the senior product owner responsible for defining what success looks like for autonomous forklifts in real-world industrial environments—and ensuring we deliver against it. This role sits at the intersection of robotics, autonomy software, and enterprise deployment, requiring strong technical judgment, customer empathy, and organizational influence.We are looking for a seasoned product leader who can operate at both the strategic and execution layers: shaping long-term product direction while driving day-to-day prioritization and delivery across multiple cross-functional teams. You will partner closely with Engineering, Program Management, Sales, and Business Development to scale autonomy from pilot deployments to production fleets.
