[Hiring] Engineering Manager @CoLab Software

Role Description

We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to lead the team building AutoReview—CoLab’s AI-powered capabilities for automating mechanical design review. This is a people leadership role that requires real technical depth. You won’t need to be the engineer writing every solution, but you should understand software and web architecture well enough to:

• Pressure-test an approach
• Spot when an estimate doesn’t add up
• Ask the question that changes the conversation

You’ll work closely with Product to turn broad ideas into a roadmap the team can confidently execute, which includes:

• Making early calls on feasibility and scope
• Giving engineers the context and autonomy to work through the details

The technical problems are substantial, including:

• DFM checks
• Clash detection
• BOM consolidation
• Clearance analysis
• Bulk AutoReview workflows
• The intersection of 2D engineering data and machine learning

Qualifications

• Experience managing software engineers in a technically complex product domain
• Strong technical foundation in modern web application and software architecture
• Experience with geometric processing, 3D/CAD applications, graphics, or similar technical systems is a strong asset
• Demonstrated ability to partner with Product on roadmap planning, technical feasibility, estimation, and prioritization
• Comfortable navigating evolving AI/ML technologies and understanding how they affect product and architecture decisions
• Able to move quickly through new information, make thoughtful decisions, and communicate tradeoffs clearly

Requirements

• This is a full-time, permanent position with a competitive compensation package that includes stock options
• We offer comprehensive benefits and flexible vacation
• This is a remote position open in Canada and the US
