Sr / Principal Product Manager
Define the future of hardware development by building an AI agent for circuit designs, enabling the next generation of smart vehicles, robotics, rockets, IOT, medical devices, and much more. At AllSpice, we’re building the agile development environment for hardware designers, including a Git-friendly translation layer and automated CI/CD framework for native circuit designs – think GitHub/GitLab + Copilot for electronics. Read more about us in TechCrunch here, and our latest Series A announcement here! We’re building on AllSpice’s ECAD-native translation layer and collaboration platform to build additional CAD design and review capabilities, like 3D file rendering, design reuse, and much more. This is an exciting opportunity to join an early-stage startup and work closely with our founding team. If you love thinking about novel ways to represent user data, working closely with technical customers, and coordinating with software engineering teams, this role is for you! What will you do? This is a high-impact role that comes with lots of autonomy and requires a self-driven, collaborative person with hardware experience. You will be the effective CEO/General Manager for our ECAD git collaboration product team:
- Work closely with our CTO & CEO to create, maintain, and champion the company’s product roadmap for our git platform
- Lead the brainstorming, ideation, and testing of potential features
- Create mockups and user stories using a design tool like Figma
- Conduct daily stand-ups to coordinate development team deliverables
- Routinely coordinate and conduct user interviews to gather insights and/or idea feedback
- Define, document, and communicate objectives, requirements, and constraints for product initiatives
- Research and stay current on industry trends, the state of hardware tooling, and user needs to inform project decisions and the prioritization of tasks
Sample projects
- Interview users and identify opportunities to improve the new user onboarding experience
- Develop concepts for electronics component library user interface
- Build product strategy to increase utilization of in-app hardware CI/CD tools
- Work with software development team to prioritize and introduce CAD UX features, like:
- 3D rendering capabilities
- Component cross-probing
- Schematic and PCB annotation
- Collaborate with the go-to-market team to update our product documentation and demos
Expectations Our ideal candidate should have the following:
- Experience working with hardware teams designing and manufacturing electronics products
- 3+ years of product management experience working on technical, infrastructure, or developer tool products
- Availability to work out of our flex offices in San Francisco or Boston on a hybrid basis (2-3 times/week)
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in a technology-related field
- Project management skills with ability to lead and collaborate with varied stakeholders, from engineers to customers, to move projects forward
- Experience managing software projects using tools such as JIRA, Notion, or a similar issue-tracking system
- Knowledge of UX/UI best practices, user-centered design, and prototyping skills
- Can think in terms of the big picture but deliver on the details
- Beyond just shipping new products, you obsess about continuous product improvement
- Comfortable giving feedback, and can operate as a peer to our executive team
- Ability to manage ambiguity gracefully, autonomy, and confidence in being self-directed
