We are hiring a Senior Product Manager to own Product Lifecycle Management on the Avathon platform. Manufacturers already run Teamcenter, Windchill, 3DEXPERIENCE or Oracle Agile. We do not replace those systems. We connect them to ERP, MES, supply chain and asset data in our Computational Knowledge Graph and use AI to do what they cannot: trace an engineering change to its downstream impact, compare BOMs across systems, find similar parts, and support new product introduction. Your job is to turn this into a product with a clear roadmap. This is a product management role in Product Engineering, not a customer delivery or design role.
You Will
Product Strategy and Roadmap
- Own the vision, roadmap and priorities for PLM on the platform: BOM management, engineering change impact, digital thread, part search and NPI support
- Know the market. Understand Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill, Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE, Oracle Agile, Aras and Arena, and where an AI layer on top of them adds value
- Decide which PLM connectors and data models are core product and which stay as customer configuration
- Define how PLM data feeds Planning, Logistics and asset maintenance on the platform
Customer and Market Discovery
- Spend real time with engineering, configuration management and manufacturing teams at customer sites
