TL;DR
Product Engineer role building product prototypes and managing integrations for Parallel Domain's simulation and neural reconstruction products, working directly with the Chief Product Officer. Includes customer discovery, roadmap work, and integrations with tools such as the Nvidia simulation suite. Requires Python and C++ fluency.
The full posting
Our mission is to enable our customers to bring autonomy and physical AI to the world faster and safer. We believe physical AI and autonomy have the power to create a safer and more productive world, and we are building the simulation infrastructure to make that future real. Our high-fidelity, fully controllable, software-in-the-loop sensor simulation products give the leaders in autonomous driving, drone delivery, eVTOL, robotics, and beyond the realism, accuracy, and confidence they need to test and validate their systems at scale. In autonomy and physical AI, there is no margin for error.
The Role
What You'll Do
- Work with the Product Team to build new product prototypes for Parallel Domain’s core products, from customer discovery and feature ideation through prototyping and engineering handoff.
- Build and manage product integrations with other softwares in the simulation ecosystem, such as the Nvidia suite of simulation tools. Choosing the right products for integration will be critical, along with implementing robust and maintainable integrations.
- Develop a deep understanding of customer workflows across autonomy, robotics, computer vision, and simulation teams, with a special focus on how our customers use simulation products to accomplish their goals. Spend time on site with customers.
- Contribute to roadmap / quarterly planning across Product and Engineering teams
- Define and track success metrics for your product area, such as customer adoption, workflow efficiency, data generation throughput, scenario coverage, model performance lift, platform reliability, and revenue impact.
- Translate complex technical and customer needs into clear product direction, distinguishing between one-off feature requests, underlying workflow problems, and durable platform opportunities.
- Communicate roadmaps, priorities, experiments, and decisions clearly across a wide spectrum of audiences from internal customers to executives.
- Create clarity in ambiguous technical domains, breaking down open-ended problems into actionable plans, crisp priorities, and decisions that align customer value, technical feasibility, and company strategy.
- Represent the voice of the customer internally, bringing evidence-backed product insights to engineering and leadership so the company builds the highest-impact capabilities for the market.
- Collaborate on launch planning and enablement, including documentation, demos, sales materials, release notes, and internal training that help customers and customer-facing teams get value from new products.
- Stay close to the evolving autonomy, robotics, synthetic data, and AI infrastructure markets, using industry trends and competitive insights to inform roadmap decisions and identify new product opportunities.
What We Are Looking For
Strong Signals
- A degree in computer science, engineering, or related field.
- Experience as an engineer at a simulation, developer tools, autonomous systems company, or physical AI company.
- Familiarity with closed-loop simulation, scenario-based testing, or sensor-in-the-loop workflows.
- Strong desire to “walk in the customers shoes” - spending time on site, collaborating directly with users.
