## About the role

We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to lead the team building AutoReview—CoLab’s AI-powered capabilities for automating mechanical design review. This is a people leadership role that requires real technical depth. You won’t need to be the engineer writing every solution, but you should understand software and web architecture well enough to pressure-test an approach, spot when an estimate doesn’t add up, and ask the question that changes the conversation.

## What they're looking for

- You’ve managed engineers working on technically complex web applications—ideally involving geometry, 3D data, geometric processing, CAD, graphics, or adjacent domains
- You care deeply about people and understand the technology they’re building. You stay connected enough to the work to identify risks early without becoming the person everyone depends on for every decision
- This team is smart, motivated, and eager to move. Your job isn’t to manufacture ambition, it’s to provide clarity so that ambition is focused on the right problems
- You’ll also help establish clearer, respectful boundaries between Engineering and Product ownership. If you enjoy building that kind of trusting partnership while navigating ambiguity, you’ll do well here
- Experience managing software engineers in a technically complex product domain
- Strong technical foundation in modern web application and software architecture
