About the role
We are hiring a Product Manager to own and evolve our simulation product. This role sits at the intersection of deeply technical simulation capabilities and a platform-wide product experience.
Responsibilities
- Work directly with early customers and beta users to conduct deep discovery — understanding their workflows, pain points, and mental models at a high level of fidelity.
- Translate that feedback into clearly scoped product requirements, not just a list of feature requests.
- Own roadmap planning for the simulation product and communicate priorities across engineering, design, and customer stakeholders.
- Serve as the internal bridge between the simulation team and the broader Revel platform, ensuring sim integrates seamlessly into the overall product experience.
- Partner closely with design and front-end engineering to craft an experience that feels modern and intuitive without sacrificing depth.
- Manage stakeholder expectations up and across the organization.
- Advocate clearly for what you believe is right for the product, even when that means pushing back.
Requirements
- 4+ years of product management experience, or highly relevant adjacent experience.
- Prior experience as a software or systems engineer.
- Experience managing or contributing to a technically deep product — e.g., FEM/CFD simulation tools, CAD/3D modeling, robotics simulation, or electrical design tools.
- Proven ability to conduct rigorous, high-fidelity customer discovery — not just collecting feature requests, but uncovering real user needs.
- Experience operating in a "1 to N" product phase: taking an existing product through validation, integration, and scaled launch.
- Strong cross-functional instincts and comfort working across engineering, design, and marketing.
- Mission-driven mindset with strong ownership over outcomes.
Qualifications
- Background in or strong familiarity with physics, mechanical engineering, or electrical engineering.
- Direct engineering experience working on simulation products or tools.
- Experience simulating or operating systems in a fast-paced hardware testing environment.
- Experience collaborating closely with a marketing function on a major product launch.
- Experience at a technical-product organization building tools for engineers or scientists.
Skills
- Excellent communication skills.
- Ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Experience with agile methodologies and product development processes.

- 401(k) plan.
