We are looking for a hands-on Founding Product Manager to work closely with customers, founders, and engineering teams to shape and execute products that transform complex mechanical and manufacturing workflows.

This role is ideal for a product leader who can operate at the intersection of product strategy, customer discovery, CAD, mechanical engineering, manufacturing, and software development. You will translate real-world customer problems into clear product requirements, prototypes, milestones, and measurable outcomes while helping engineering teams build products that solve genuinely difficult problems.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end product execution, from customer discovery and problem definition to product delivery and iteration.
  • Translate customer needs and business priorities into clear product requirements, PRDs, prototypes, milestones, timelines, and evaluation criteria.
  • Engage directly with customers to understand workflows, pain points, requirements, and opportunities for product improvement.
  • Develop a strong understanding of CAD workflows, engineering drawings, mechanical design, manufacturing processes, and industrial workflows.
  • Work closely with engineering teams to communicate product behavior, edge cases, technical trade-offs, and expected outcomes.
  • Prototype product ideas quickly and use customer insights to validate concepts before development.
  • Break complex product problems into practical milestones and communicate priorities clearly to engineering teams.
  • Reproduce, investigate, and clearly document product issues to support effective debugging and resolution.
  • Partner with engineering, design, operations, and customer-facing teams to ensure high-quality product releases.
  • Define product evaluations, acceptance criteria, and quality benchmarks, including evaluations for AI-powered features or agents where applicable.
  • Participate in sprint planning, reviews, release discussions, QA processes, and product prioritization.
  • Improve processes around product planning, customer feedback, documentation, QA, and release management.
  • Identify opportunities to simplify workflows, reduce ambiguity, and help engineering teams move faster without unnecessary processes.
  • Continuously research technical challenges and emerging technologies to understand what is possible and how it can be applied to customer workflows.
  • Take ownership of ambiguous and technically complex problems and drive them toward practical product outcomes.

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • 3+ years of experience in product management, product development, or other product-centric roles.
  • Proven experience working closely with software engineering teams and successfully shipping software products.
  • Exposure to or hands-on experience with CAD, mechanical engineering, manufacturing, 3D workflows, or industrial technology.
  • Strong understanding of user workflows and the ability to translate complex customer problems into clear product requirements.
  • Excellent ability to prototype ideas quickly, evaluate product quality, and define what a great user experience should look like.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to break complex problems into actionable milestones.
  • Comfortable working with highly technical engineering teams and understanding enough technical detail to make informed product decisions.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate between technical, business, and customer perspectives.
  • Comfortable operating with limited information, ambiguity, and rapidly changing priorities.
  • Strong ownership mindset with the ability to independently drive initiatives from 0 to 1.
  • Experience working in a startup, entrepreneurial environment, or early-stage product organization is highly desirable.
  • Strong customer empathy and experience building products that users genuinely value.
  • Experience defining evaluation frameworks for AI products or AI agents is a strong advantage.
  • Background in 3D, CAD, manufacturing, mechanical engineering, or industrial automation is preferred.
  • Demonstrated entrepreneurial mindset, with experience building something independently or an ambition to take ownership of products and businesses at a leadership level.
  • Comfortable using modern AI-assisted development and productivity tools to research, prototype, analyse, and accelerate product execution.
  • Willingness to work on-site in Bengaluru with a fast-moving, highly collaborative team.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
