Run AI-powered design reviews, capture expert feedback, and turn engineering knowledge into faster decisions. Backed by Insight and Y Combinator.
About the role
Mechanical engineering teams rely on a complex ecosystem of CAD, PLM, and enterprise systems to design, review, and manufacture products. At CoLab, we're building software that fits naturally into those workflows. As a Product Manager for our Build Forge team, you'll own the product direction for how CoLab connects with the systems engineers use every day. Your goal is to make complex engineering workflows simpler, helping customers move seamlessly between CoLab and their existing tools. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- You've spent meaningful time in the CAD, PLM, or engineering software ecosystem. You understand the complexity of enterprise engineering environments and can connect technical details to real customer problems
- You're equally comfortable discussing revision management with an engineering team and making product tradeoffs with developers
- You bring curiosity, sound judgment, and a willingness to challenge assumptions respectfully. You don't need every answer upfront, but you know how to find the right people, ask better questions, and make progress
- If your product experience is primarily in general-purpose SaaS and you're unfamiliar with mechanical engineering workflows, this likely isn't the right fit
- 5+ years of product management experience, ideally in technical B2B software
- Strong domain knowledge of CAD, PLM, or Mechanical Engineering Lifecycle workflows
More about this role
At CoLab, we help mechanical engineering teams bring life-changing products to market years sooner.
We build AI for engineers designing cars, medical devices, and jet engines. Products this complex aren't sketched and sent to production. Teams spend months on iterations, reviews, and tests, predicting how every part performs before anything is built. CoLab is where those reviews happen, and we capture the rationale behind every change. Other tools show what changed between versions. Only CoLab knows why. That's how our AI helps manufacturers like Bobcat, Triumph Motorcycles, and GE Appliances make better decisions, eliminate rework cycles, and get to market faster.
Proudly based in St. John’s, Newfoundland, CoLab started with one customer in 2018. Since then we’ve raised a $72M Series C , been named the 57th fastest growing company in North America by Deloitte ( Fast 500™ ), signed multi-year AI partnerships with companies like Bombardier , and grown to a team of 250+.
