Lead product discovery with engineering, architects, and business stakeholders to define user personas, problem statements, value hypotheses, and acceptance criteria. Maintain a healthy technical product backlog: write and refine epics, features, and user stories; manage cross‑team dependencies; balance business value, risk, compliance, and technical feasibility across release horizons. Establish the product operating model with platform and product teams (cadences, decision rights, intake/prioritization, and release readiness) to ensure transparent alignment, fast decisions, and predictable delivery. Partner with Enterprise Architecture and security to ensure product requirements and non‑functional requirements (performance, reliability, privacy, and security) are defined and met, and that solutions align to enterprise standards. Drive product lifecycle decisions (build vs. buy, vendor selection, capability evolution) and partner with engineering on solution design trade‑offs that optimize resiliency, compliance, cost, and time‑to‑value. Own the CAx‑to‑PLM integration product capabilities (e.g., CAD/CAE/CAM authoring tool integrations, visualization, requirements/design controls linkages, and downstream manufacturing interfaces) to improve engineering efficiency, reuse, and traceability. Own the MedTech R&D PPM product roadmap and delivery outcomes, defining capabilities for demand intake, portfolio prioritization, project execution, financial tracking, resource/capacity planning, and integrated reporting. Accountable for product change control, risk management, and documentation needed to operate in a regulated environment (GxP/SOX/ISRM), ensuring release readiness and auditability across the platform and integrations. Continuously improve the product using telemetry, insights, and user feedback; identify automation, AI opportunities, manage technical debt priorities, and publish consumption guidance and best practices for platform capabilities. Support product operations including intake/triage, access and environment readiness, and coordination of operational controls (ISRM, GxP, SOX, asset management) in partnership with run/operate teams. Provide technical product leadership across cross‑functional teams (product, engineering, architecture, quality/compliance, and vendors) and, where applicable, manage and develop team members to deliver roadmap commitments. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience, preferably in Information Technology, Computer Science, Business, Engineering, or related field. 10+ years performing progressively advanced duties in product management and software engineering.

Experience in building and integrating products with platform, data management, API architecture/design, and Cloud Native technologies. Hands‑on experience across the CAx ecosystem (CAD/CAE/CAM) and its integration to PLM to enable the digital thread (authoring tool integrations, visualization, requirements/design controls traceability, automation, and engineering change/configuration management). Knowledge of engineering integration patterns and data standards for CAxPLM interoperability. Experience delivering Portfolio & Project Management (PPM) solutions for regulated product development (demand intake, portfolio prioritization, stage‑gate/governance, scheduling, financials, resource/capacity planning, and portfolio reporting/analytics). Ability to define PPM product success measures (OKRs/KPIs), establish intake/prioritization processes, and drive adoption and change management with global R&D stakeholders.
