Product Manager - Digital Proving Grounds

Job summary

Responsibilities

Applied Intuition's Digital Proving Grounds (DPGs) give the Department of War a vendor-neutral place to test autonomous systems from many companies together, against a real mission, before they reach the field.

• Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for DPGs and Axion Sim. Decide what becomes repeatable product and what stays program-specific work.
• Find product-market fit. Run discovery with program offices, test and evaluation organizations, mission engineers, and autonomy vendors.
• Define the sim-to-live workflow. Shape how a team goes from a mission and its concept of operations to test scenarios, then to SIL at scale, HIL rig checkout, LVC, and live…
• Set the simulation roadmap with engineering. Make the calls on fidelity versus speed, sensor and communications modeling, scale to hundreds or thousands of agents, co-simulation…
• Build on shared platform components. Work with other Axion product leads so DPGs use common pieces (simulation, campaigns, metrics, jobs) instead of separate versions.

What they're looking for

• A bachelor's degree in a technical field (Computer Science, Engineering, or related) or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of product management experience shipping complex technical products, including end-to-end ownership of a simulation, test, or engineering platform used by technical…
• Deep technical fluency in simulation. You can discuss fidelity, sensor models, determinism, distributed sim at scale, and HIL with engineers, and you know when a sim result is…
• Strong customer research skills. You have learned a new domain by talking to users and watching how they work, including users who are hard to reach (regulated industries…
• A track record of taking a technical product from custom, per-customer deployments to a repeatable product that customers adopt and renew.
