About the Role
We're looking for a technically fluent, execution-focused Product Manager to lead product execution and contribute to product direction for our CFD visualization and post-processing tools, used by engineers and scientists worldwide.
This role sits at the center of engineering, sales, support, and our customers. You'll translate real-world CFD workflows into clear product requirements, well-formed user stories, and high-quality releases. You'll also spend meaningful time with customers to make sure our product direction reflects real market needs.
This is a hands-on role. You'll work closely with software developers, UX, and documentation to make sure features are not only built, but built correctly, clearly, and in a way that supports engineers' real workflows.
We want someone who's comfortable getting into the details, willing to challenge assumptions (including leadership's), and motivated to build great engineering tools for CFD practitioners worldwide.
What You'll Do
Visit customer sites and conduct remote interviews to understand real-world CFD workflows
Identify friction points in post-processing, automation, and insight extraction
Gather and validate feedback on in-progress and upcoming features
Conduct win/loss analysis and collaborate with sales and support to identify trends
Represent the product at industry events and user meetings
Product Definition & Execution

Partner with documentation to ensure accuracy and clarity
Validate delivered functionality against user needs before release
Product Direction & Strategic Input
Contribute structured customer and market insight to inform roadmap planning
Provide thoughtful challenges and alternative perspectives to senior leadership on product decisions
Help shape positioning and messaging in collaboration with marketing
Contribute to technical blog posts, webinars, and other customer-facing content
In the near term, this role will focus heavily on execution excellence across several major initiatives already underway. As domain expertise and organizational trust deepen, the role will increasingly influence broader product direction and long-term roadmap decisions.
