About The Position

At CoLab, we want to help mechanical engineering teams bring life-changing products to market years sooner. CoLab is a cloud based platform for engineering design review. We make it easy for subject matter experts (SMEs) across your business to access, evaluate, and comment on 2D drawings and 3D models. Our built-in AI peer checker, AutoReview, scans designs for common errors or non-compliance with your standards and guidelines. AutoReview creates markups and comments on your files, in context – just like a human checker. With CoLab, human SMEs and AI work together to help you make better decisions and improve designs faster. We automatically capture knowledge from across your global business that would otherwise be buried in emails, spreadsheets, slide decks, and unknown locations in Sharepoint or PLM. Then, we make sure every lesson learned and every design guideline is applied exactly when it matters. Companies like Johnson Controls, Komatsu, Schaeffler, and Polaris have launched products 40% faster, cut BOM costs by 50%, and reduced quality escapes by 15% in 1 year. We’ve built a product that’s transforming how engineering teams work. Now we’re turning that same lens inward. As our first Business Systems Engineer, you’ll connect the systems that run our business—Slack, Notion, Gong, HubSpot, G-Suite, GitHub, Mixpanel, Figma, Linear, ChatGPT—and turn scattered data into clear, decision-ready insight. You’ll use tools like Retool and well-documented APIs to rapidly prototype internal integrations, automate workflows, and build dashboards people actually use. The goal is for this person to have strong UI skills. You’ll work closely with RevOps, Product, Finance and other business areas to understand messy, real-world problems—often from people who aren’t technical—and translate them into clean, secure integrations and intuitive UIs. If you like being a force multiplier—unlocking disproportionate value with relatively small technical effort—you’ll love this role.
