Why Heliux:

Heliux is building the AI-native operating system for the manufacturing enterprise. We’re fundamentally reshaping how engineering and manufacturing companies run by eliminating cross-functional fragmentation and enabling agentic execution on a single, shared operational reality. Companies developing and scaling production of next-generation defense systems, nuclear reactors, robotics, and more all trust Heliux to drive their operations.

We’re on a mission to deliver operating performance for manufacturers. Our team is built on a foundation of grit combined with deep commitment to our customers and the mission. If you want to do important work for critical industries on an ambitious, high-energy team, we’d love for you to join us.

About the Role:

The Product Manager will report directly to the CEO, and is responsible for the outcome of Engineering OS, Heliux’s product data and lifecycle management module:

• Partner closely with our customers’ engineering and operations organizations to gain a continuous understanding of their work–the good, the bad, the ugly.

• Anticipate the capabilities that our customers need and translate them into clearly-defined product requirements that drive our design and engineering work.

• Own end-to-end roadmap for Engineering OS, including priorities, development schedule, and release sequencing.

• Author release communications for both existing customers and prospects, across every channel.

• Work with Product Managers across Heliux to ensure the platform is greater than the sum of its modules.

About You:

• Proven systems thinker who finds the root problem rather than the requested feature and converts it into clear product requirements.

• Willingness to be customer-facing–from the sales process, through deployment, and post-go-live.

Technical Environment:

• Backend: Rust, Python, high-performance backend services, APIs, data-intensive systems.
