About this role
Role Overview
- Engage deeply with customers — OEM engineering teams, simulation specialists, and program managers
- Translate customer insight, market signals, and technical feasibility into product requirements and prioritized roadmap decisions
- Own the product discovery process: design and run user research, synthesize findings across customer segments, and develop hypotheses
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure product decisions are grounded in real customer value and commercial viability
- Represent the voice of industrial engineers internally
- Track trends in engineering software, advanced simulation, and AI tooling to identify whitespace and emerging use cases.
Requirements
- 3+ years of real engineering experience inside a large industrial organization
- Exposure to a more modern environment — whether at a fast-moving hardware company, a next-gen engineering software startup, or a tech company embedded in industrial accounts
- Genuine product instincts: listen more than you talk, curious about diverse problems, and know how to bring people along without having formal authority
- Communicate with precision — in writing and in conversation
- Hold a degree in engineering or a related technical discipline; an advanced degree (MSc, PhD) is a plus
- Fluency in English; additional European languages are a plus.
Benefits
- We know this combination of skills is rare. If you have one deep engineering experience — whether at a legacy industrial company or a modern company like Tesla or SpaceX — and strong product instincts, we want to hear from you.
- We're proud to be an equal opportunity employer, and we're committed to building a diverse and inclusive environment where you can thrive.
