Senior Product Manager

Senior Product Manager

At Machina Labs, we're reshaping manufacturing through advanced robotics and machine learning. Our platform uses the largest 7-axis robots on the market to form 2D sheets of metal into complex 3D parts, layer-by-layer.

Traditional sheet metal production was designed for scale, not flexibility. It relies on costly dies and tooling that make lower volume projects prohibitively slow and expensive. We're changing that. Whether you're a defense prime building a few thousand airframes or an automaker building next-generation panels, Machina Labs gives you the ability to iterate and manufacture at the speed of software.

With support from the venture arms of Toyota, NVIDIA, and Lockheed Martin, we're accelerating the future of manufacturing, one where factories are flexible, production is on-demand, and innovation is unconstrained.

Machina Labs is seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead the development of software systems that translate digital designs into robotic manufacturing instructions.

At the core of Machina's platform is a software stack that converts CAD models into precise robotic toolpaths used to drive our RoboCraftsman manufacturing cells. This role will contribute to shaping the product direction for our pre-cell software tools, including path planning and slicing applications, geometric simulation for collision detection and validation, and factory coordination systems that support production operations across multiple facilities.

You will define product strategy, manage the software roadmap, and lead sprint execution while working closely with engineers and internal users. This role partners directly with robotic processing engineers, and manufacturing teams who rely on these tools daily, ensuring the software enables efficient, reliable robotic manufacturing at scale.

The Senior Product Manager will also collaborate closely with the Product Lead and executive leadership to ensure software development aligns with Machina Labs' broader product and manufacturing strategy.

Key responsibilities include:

• Own the software tools roadmap.
• Lead development of path planning & slicing tools.
• Develop simulation & validation capabilities.
• Support factory coordination software.
• Drive product execution.
• Conduct user research & product discovery.

Required background and experience includes:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of product management experience in technical software environments.
• Proven experience delivering complex software products from concept through release.
• Strong ability to define product problems, manage tradeoffs, and drive engineering execution.
• Deep curiosity about users and ability to translate workflow needs into effective product solutions.
• Experience collaborating closely with engineering teams in technical environments.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred qualifications include:

• Master's degree in a technical discipline, engineering field, or MBA.
• Experience working with digital fabrication tools, such as 3D printing, CAM systems, or robotics software.
• Prior experience building computationally complex software products, particularly involving geometry, path planning, or simulation.
• Familiarity with manufacturing workflows, robotics systems, or advanced fabrication environments.

$130,000 - $180,000 a year. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, skills, qualifications, and geographic location. In addition to the provided base salary range, comprehensive benefits (Medical, Dental, Vision), PTO, and Stock Options.
