Company mission
To transform the way engineers work and enable them to do more of what they love doing: being inventors, creating great solutions, and solving problems.
Role
Who you are
- You resonate with Synera's Core Values - they're central to how we work, and we'll explore them together in your first interview
- You understand and apply modern techniques of product discovery and delivery, focusing on outcomes, not output
- You bring at least 5-8 years’ experience working on technology-powered products as a Product Manager or Product Designer, ideally in a start-up or scale-up B2B SaaS environment
- You must have an understanding of CAx technology (geometry kernels, different simulation disciplines), you translate technical possibilities into customer value (academic studies or relevant experience)
- You solve complex problems with sound judgment, balancing constraints and communicating your reasoning clearly through data-informed narratives
- You are naturally curious about our domain and new technologies to build deep understanding of customer workflows and market context
- Even if you don't meet these criteria perfectly but believe you have lots to bring to the role, we encourage you to apply. We know it's tough, but please keep in mind that you don't have to match all the listed requirements exactly to be considered for this role
What the job involves
- As a discovery-led Product Manager, you’ll collaborate closely with UX, Engineering, and AI to shape customer outcomes - not just ship features
- You’ll regularly engage with leading customers such as BMW, NASA, and Miele to uncover their needs and pain points, guiding our R&D efforts to create products that truly make a difference
- You’ll join Bohdan, Dima, Fabian, Rieke, Salar, Sven and Thorsten - together known as the Chaotic Chimeras - a cross-functional product team pioneering how engineers build products for the future
- They are the minds behind Synera Run, our web-based execution platform, that is unified with our low-code desktop editor and customer portal to craft one seamless, powerful experience
- By joining us, you’ll help turn our bold product vision into repeatable customer value, shaping the future of engineering with Synera
- You lead discovery and validation by engaging with internal stakeholders (e.g. Customer Success, Sales) and directly with customers to uncover user needs and pain points
- You collaborate with the Chimeras - our development team of product, design, and engineering experts - to translate insights into impactful product decisions
- You join the usual rituals such as daily standups, review meetings and retros. You clarify scope and customer value during the implementation
- You frame hypotheses and define measurable product outcomes, such as streamlining customer onboarding or increasing node adoption
- You own a problem space, not a backlog: you deeply understand users, map opportunities, and co-create strategy with design and engineering
- You continuously prioritize and refine opportunities with your team, balancing customer value, technical feasibility, and business impact
- You align with leadership on product goals and success metrics (e.g. adoption, retention, conversion) to ensure meaningful, outcome-driven progress
- ⚡ In 6 months:
- You have a clear understanding of our platform, customers, and workflows
- You independently run at least one end-to-end discovery cycle: identifying user pain points, validating hypotheses, and sharing insights that shape roadmap priorities
- You ship one initiative that measurably improves customer experience or activation (e.g. increases activation rate, reduces onboarding time)
- ⚡ In 12 months:
- You own a core product area and deliver measurable business or user impact (e.g. retention)
- You establish a healthy, predictable discovery–delivery rhythm with your team: balancing learning, experimentation, and shipping
- You are recognized internally as a key voice in product strategy and prioritization, actively shaping discussions on where to invest for customer and business impact
Our take
Synera, formally known as Elise, is a German-founded engineering software company that develops platforms and tools for manufacturing companies. Off the back of the company's ethos to help engineers do more of what they love, Synera automates processes and leverages low-code, open and integrated software to help companies as large as BMW and Hyundai get more done faster.
Off the back of its 2022 funding, Synera has been working to expand its customer base into new market regions. The company already claims to save engineers up to 90 percent in time savings on ad-hoc tasks, enough incentive for the auto and travel manufacturing industry to invest in it. Interestingly, the Alfred Wegener Group, which conducts research in the Arctic and the Antarctic, is a parent company of Synera, influencing its core motive of improving engineering efficiency for time-sensitive work.
