Role Description

We are seeking a Principal Product Manager to lead the Comet Simulation product in the Fulfillment domain. In this highly impactful role, you will shape and drive the product strategy for our simulation platform, building a digital twin of our manufacturing/production products, that allows users to replicate, analyze, and optimize real-world manufacturing systems.

• Own the product vision and strategy for Comet Simulation.
• Design, build, and iterate on simulation capabilities that accurately model real-world production processes and resource flows.
• Drive the development of a digital twin of our Fulfillment platform to enable predictive and prescriptive analytics across fulfillment operations.
• Define and prioritize product roadmaps, user stories, and feature sets, grounded in customer problems and strategic goals.
• Partner with other product leads, engineering and data, to deliver performant simulation models that support dynamic scenario testing and forecasting.
• Champion usability and observability, ensuring that users can intuitively interact with the simulation and interpret results confidently.
• Evaluate smart partnership opportunities with leading providers of simulation and digital twin products.
• Develop a feedback loop and telemetry strategy to monitor how the simulation is used and measure its impact on throughput, resource utilization, and decision quality.
• Serve as a thought leader in the digital simulation space, keeping abreast of trends in Industry 4.0, digital twins, and smart manufacturing.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of product management experience, with a minimum of 3+ years in simulation, modeling, digital twin, manufacturing systems, or related fields.
• Deep understanding of B2B platforms, production planning, operations research, or decision support systems.
• Proven track record in launching data-rich, technically sophisticated products with measurable business impact.
• Familiarity with manufacturing principles, including lean, just-in-time (JIT), capacity planning, and resource scheduling.
• Experience working with cross-functional teams, including data scientists, software engineers, and operational users.
• Strong product sense and UX intuition—able to turn complex systems into usable interface.

Requirements

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills—clear, concise, and persuasive.
• Analytical approach with experience in defining critical metrics and using data to influence product strategy.
• Build-versus-Buy thinking has to be a part of your DNA.
• Formal education in Engineering, Computer Science, Operations Research, or Industrial Engineering.
• Familiarity with tools like AnyLogic, Simio, FlexSim, or similar simulation environments.
• Experience working on enterprise-scale or platform products in manufacturing, logistics, or supply chain domains.
• Ability to create or guide the creation of high-level wireframes or prototypes.

Benefits

• We encourage our engineers to think like owners – to continue to act small as we grow.
• Every team defines their own roadmaps, and uses the programming languages and technologies that suit them best.
• Remote-First operating model and culture, with team members in over 15 countries and 30 US states.
