Product Manager - Simulation

Higher People•Los Angeles, CA

About The Position

Revel builds the software that controls the world's most critical hardware across aerospace, automotive, energy, robotics, defense, and advanced manufacturing. The platform combines an intuitive command/control interface, a specialized programming language built for hardware control, and a high-performance runtime, giving engineers a faster, safer way to build, test, and deploy critical systems. Simulation tooling is a core part of that stack, letting engineers model, validate, and understand complex system behavior before it ever touches real hardware. This role is exciting because you will shape a new product from its early days, working directly with early design partners to define its integration into the broader Revel platform. It offers high ownership and visibility, delivering on tight timelines and aggressive milestones. You will have direct exposure to leadership, working hands-on with the Head of Product and CEO, as well as customers operating real, high-stakes hardware systems. This is a rare role for someone who can engage with real physics/numerics/modeling depth and still ship something that feels intuitive to novice and expert users alike.

Requirements

4+ years of product management experience, or highly relevant adjacent experience
Prior experience as a software or systems engineer
Experience managing or contributing to a technically deep product — e.g. FEM/CFD simulation tools, CAD/3D modeling, robotics simulation, or electrical design tools
Proven ability to conduct rigorous, high-fidelity customer discovery — not just collecting feature requests, but uncovering real user needs
Experience operating in a "1 to N" product phase: taking an existing product through validation, integration, and scaled launch
Strong cross-functional instincts and comfort working across engineering, design, and marketing
Mission-driven mindset with strong ownership over outcomes

Nice To Haves

Background in or strong familiarity with physics, mechanical engineering, or electrical engineering
Direct engineering experience working on simulation products or tools
Background in aerospace, defense, robotics, advanced manufacturing, energy, or automotive industries
Experience simulating or operating systems in a fast-paced hardware testing environment
Experience collaborating closely with a marketing function on a major product launch
Experience at a technical-product organization building tools for engineers or scientists

Responsibilities

Run deep discovery with early customers and beta users to understand their workflows, pain points, and mental models at a high level of fidelity
Translate that feedback into clearly scoped product requirements, not just a list of feature requests
Own roadmap planning for the simulation product and communicate priorities across engineering, design, and customer stakeholders
Serve as the internal bridge between the simulation team and the broader Revel platform, ensuring sim integrates seamlessly into the overall product experience
Partner closely with design and front-end engineering to craft an experience that feels modern and intuitive without sacrificing depth
Work cross-functionally with marketing to support major product launches
Manage stakeholder expectations up and across the organization
Advocate clearly for what you believe is right for the product, even when that means pushing back
