Product Manager, Vertical Solutions

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.
