Short description:
We are looking for a Product Manager (f/m/d) to lead the evolution of DESIGNER, Hexagon's CAD platform at the core of our Production Software portfolio.
DESIGNER is more than a CAD-for-CAM tool—it provides the foundation for CAD-enabled applications across manufacturing, including sheet metal fabrication and additive manufacturing. As the gateway to Nexus, Hexagon's cloud platform, DESIGNER enables desktop interaction with AI-driven tools (e.g., CoPilot, ProPlanAI).
As Product Manager, you will drive the product's strategy and roadmap to positioning DESIGNER as a modern, AI-ready solution that delivers powerful, flexible modelling capabilities and consistency across multiple production workflows.
Job Responsibilities
* Define and communicate the product vision for DESIGNER as a CAD platform supporting CAM, sheet metal, and additive manufacturing.
* Own and prioritize the roadmap, focusing on modelling capabilities, usability, automation, and integration readiness with Nexus AI tools.
* Gather insights from customers, partners, and competitors to identify opportunities where DESIGNER adds value as a core enabler of downstream applications.
* Collaborate with Product Engineers, R&D, and fellow Product Managers to evolve DESIGNER in line with integrated manufacturing needs (e.g., CAM, bending, build prep, cloud HUB).
* Define KPIs, monitor adoption across internal and external users, and ensure DESIGNER delivers as a strategic asset within Hexagon's portfolio.
Qualifications
Education & Experience
* Degree in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, or a closely related manufacturing discipline.
* 3+ years of experience in Product Management or technical product roles within CAD/CAM/CAE software.
* Strong familiarity with CAD platforms used in manufacturing applications.
Skills & Attributes
* Experience working in agile environments (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps).
* Strategic thinker with a practical, execution-focused mindset.
* Strong communicator across both technical and business stakeholders.
* Enthusiasm for design technology and its role in enabling smart manufacturing.
* Professional-level English (negotiation-ready); additional European languages are a plus.
What we offer
* The opportunity to shape the future of a key CAD platform powering Hexagon's manufacturing solutions.
* A strategic role with global visibility, where your work directly influences how industries adopt smart manufacturing.
* Career growth in an international environment, working with experts across CAD, CAM, and manufacturing processes.
* The chance to drive AI-enabled capabilities at the intersection of desktop and cloud, ensuring DESIGNER plays a central role in Hexagon's digital manufacturing journey.
* A diverse, inclusive workplace committed to your professional development and long-term success.
