Product Manager, Vertical Solutions

Job description

# Product Manager, Vertical Solutions **Location:** Lausanne; Cambridge **Employment Type:** Full time **Location Type:** Hybrid **Department:** Vertical Solutions ## About the role Neural Concept's Vertical Solutions team turns the most common engineering use cases into streamlined, production-grade workflows powered by leading AI technologies. As Product Manager or Solution Owner, you will own the product lifecycle for one of our vertical solutions end to end: from discovering customer needs to shipping AI-powered workflows that combine design, simulation, and data science/ML. You'll partner with industry-leading customers to translate real-world engineering problems into a product roadmap, and you'll work hands-on with AI-assisted development tools to move from concept to working prototype fast. This is a pivotal, cross-functional role: you'll work across product, engineering, and customer-facing teams to make sure what you build actually gets adopted and delivers value. ## What you will do - Own the product roadmap for your vertical solution, from discovery through delivery and iteration. - Run customer discovery: lead interviews, validate problem-solution fit, and turn insights into a clear product strategy and backlog. - Define and prioritize requirements, write specs, and make the roadmap tradeoffs that keep the team focused on impact. - Use AI-based development tools and hands-on prototyping (including scripting) to de-risk ideas quickly and get working solutions in front of customers sooner. - Lead and collaborate closely with a cross-functional team of engineers (CAD/CAE/ML) to take solutions from prototype to production-ready. - Track adoption and value delivery across customer projects in your vertical, and feed those insights back into the global product roadmap. - Align vertical initiatives with overall company strategy. ## Who you are - Proven product management experience: you've owned a product or product area end to end, from discovery to launch to iteration, ideally in an enterprise or technical B2B context. - Hands-on with AI-based development: comfortable using AI coding/prototyping tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar) and scripting (Python) to build and test ideas yourself rather than only writing specs for others. - Strong discovery and customer empathy skills: you can run a great customer interview, synthesize signal from noise, and translate it into a coherent product narrative. - Pragmatic, impact-first problem solver: comfortable making tradeoffs, willing to challenge assumptions, and focused on outcomes over process. - Comfortable operating cross-functionally with engineering, data science, and customer-facing teams, and able to influence without direct authority. - Clear written and verbal communicator, able to align stakeholders across technical and business audiences. **Bonus points for:** - Background or exposure to consumer electronics, automotive, turbomachinery, aerospace, semiconductor manufacturing - Familiarity with engineering software used in CAD/CAE/PLM workflows (e.g., SolidWorks, NX, ANSYS Mechanical, Abaqus, Teamcenter, or similar). - Exposure to end-to-end engineering design processes: requirements, concept, modeling and simulation, validation, release. ## What You Get - Work with a world-class technology team – our engineers are top-notch, and we always aim for excellence. - Benefit from a competitive salary and rewarding opportunities as we continue to scale. - Thrive in a collaborative, multicultural environment where your work is visible and recognized. - Develop professionally alongside talented colleagues who share knowledge freely and support one another. - Make a global impact by helping customers shift to AI-assisted design, making innovation faster, smarter, and more sustainable. - Balance life and work with a hybrid model (40% remote) and flexible hours—we care about results, not rigid schedules. We're proud to be an equal opportunity employer, and we're committed to building a diverse and inclusive environment where you can thrive. ### We're proud to be an equal opportunity employer, and we're committed to building a diverse and inclusive environment where you can thrive.
