Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Re:Build Manufacturing is building the first AI-powered platform for hardware product development. They are seeking a Principal Product Manager who can own product execution and drive discovery while collaborating closely with hardware engineers and teams to deliver impactful solutions.
Responsibilities
- Owning product execution end to end, from talking to hardware engineers, to writing specs and PRDs, to working daily with engineering to ship
- Running discovery across our early adopter program, which spans several dozen internal and external companies, getting into the real workflows of hardware program execution and turning them into product
- Being the domain voice in the room, able to talk credibly with an EE, a mechanical lead, or a program manager about their actual pain and earn their trust in the first conversation
- Driving the roadmap and hitting dates by setting realistic timelines, communicating them clearly, and delivering against them consistently
- Writing clearly and concisely across specs, updates, and customer-facing material, because writing is how product gets built here
- Prototyping and demoing, putting things in front of users early, running the demo yourself, and iterating on what you learn
Skills
- Direct experience running hardware program execution, whether as an NPI or hardware program manager, a hardware, systems, or EE lead who ran programs, or a PM embedded deep in hardware development
- Demonstrated 0-to-1 experience taking a new product from a blank page to something real and shipped, whether hardware or software
- High output and a bias to action, with a track record of shipping
- Excellent written communication that is clear, concise, and structured, with the ability to turn a messy problem into a one-page spec anyone can act on
- Deadline discipline: you set commitments, keep them, and flag slippage early
- Deep subject-matter credibility with hardware engineers and program teams
- Comfort using AI tools to accelerate your own work
- Experience building software for engineers or manufacturing (PLM, MES, EDA, ALM, dev tools, or similar)
- Hands-on experience building AI or LLM-powered products
- Prior early-stage, 0-to-1 startup experience
- Technical enough to prototype (scripting or vibe-coding a wireframe)
- Deep fluency with the hardware NPI lifecycle: phase-gate reviews (EVT/DVT/PVT), cross-team dependencies, engineering changes (ECRs/ECOs), and BOM/PLM workflows
