We are hiring a Senior Product Manager to own Product Lifecycle Management on the Avathon platform. Manufacturers already run Teamcenter, Windchill, 3DEXPERIENCE or Oracle Agile. We do not replace those systems. We connect them to ERP, MES, supply chain and asset data in our Computational Knowledge Graph and use AI to do what they cannot: trace an engineering change to its downstream impact, compare BOMs across systems, find similar parts, and support new product introduction. Your job is to turn this into a product with a clear roadmap. This is a product management role in Product Engineering, not a customer delivery or design role.
