Principal Product Manager, AI Manufacturing

Xometry is seeking a Principal Product Manager to lead our Manufacturability Intelligence initiatives. In this high-impact role, you will own the strategy and development of AI-powered features that analyze 3D models, identify manufacturing risks, and deliver real-time, actionable feedback to customers. This position is key to advancing our vision for automating Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and reducing production challenges through intelligent product innovation.

• Define and communicate a compelling vision for the Manufacturability Intelligence platform, aligning with Xometry's broader goals of scalability, automation, and enhanced customer experience.
• Develop a strategic roadmap to advance our manufacturability analysis capabilities, incorporating AI-driven insights, rule-based engines, and 3D model analysis.
• Identify key opportunities to enhance customer satisfaction and reduce operational bottlenecks through automated manufacturability checks and feedback mechanisms.
• Lead the development of a manufacturability service that provides accurate, real-time feedback on design feasibility, material selection, and process suitability.
• Collaborate closely with data science and engineering teams to build machine learning models and rule-based systems for detecting and interpreting complex geometric features in 3D parts.
• Oversee the integration of Visual Language Models (VLMs) and 3D Language Models (3DLMs) to enhance part understanding and manufacturability predictions.
• Partner with UX/UI teams to create intuitive, user-friendly interfaces that display manufacturability feedback and recommendations to customers.
• Engage with customers, suppliers, and internal stakeholders to gather insights on pain points related to design manufacturability and feedback accuracy.
• Perform market research and competitive analysis to identify gaps and opportunities in current DFM tools and capabilities.
• Define and track key performance metrics to measure the impact of manufacturability improvements on customer satisfaction, lead times, and production success rates.
• Lead cross-functional teams including data science, software engineering, operations, and UX to deliver innovative manufacturability solutions.
• Advocate for and drive the adoption of new manufacturability features across internal teams and customers, emphasizing the benefits of improved design insights and reduced manufacturing errors.
• Present updates, insights, and strategic recommendations to executive leadership, aligning project objectives with overall business goals.

• 8+ years of product management experience, with at least 5 years focused on AI/ML-powered products or manufacturability analysis tools in the manufacturing or engineering space.
• Proven track record of leading the development and launch of successful B2C, B2B or enterprise SaaS products in the manufacturing, e-commerce, or marketplace sectors.
• Deep understanding of machine learning, data analytics, and computer vision, particularly in the context of 3D modeling and part analysis.
• Experience working closely with data scientists, ML engineers, and software development teams to develop scalable AI solutions.
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes (e.g., CNC machining, 3D printing, injection molding) and DFM principles is a plus..
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills, with a proven ability to drive alignment across diverse teams and functions.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a focus on deriving insights from complex data and customer feedback.
• Highly organized, with excellent project management skills and a demonstrated ability to execute on ambitious product roadmaps.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Business, or a related field. An advanced degree (MBA, MS) is a plus.
• Must be a US Citizen or GC holder
