About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to join our Manufacturing AI team. You will be responsible for the product strategy, roadmap, and execution to streamline, analyze, and drive decisions. This means creating intuitive experiences that leverage the full potential of a Frontier LLM while being simple, approachable and incredibly powerful.

We work cross-functionally and you will partner daily with our AI engineers, designers, mechanical engineers, and stakeholders to build impactful software products, specifically unlocking new Agentic experiences. We believe in going deep on user research and data analysis to decide where we would should go next with our products, we believe in delivering iterative features quickly and continuously improving our products and processes, and we are a strong design and product-led organization. We love talking to and working with our users every day to enable them to do their best work.

We want someone that has experience taking an idea from the whiteboard to production and then scale it. You are going to get to do that again here.
