Principal Product Manager

Greater Boston, MA; Los Angeles, CA; Seattle, WA; United States -Remote

The Opportunity 

If you’ve worked alongside hardware teams, you know how much a single dropped handoff can cost. Reflow exists to close that gap. We’re building the first AI-powered platform purpose-built for hardware product development. It listens across the tools teams already use, maintains a structured picture of every program, and coordinates across teams when things inevitably change. 

This is a rare chance for a product leader who has actually run hardware programs to build the tool they always wished existed. You’ll have the backing of a parent company leading innovation in engineering and manufacturing, with direct access to real hardware programs and the engineers who run them. 

Who We’re Looking For 

We’re looking for a hands-on product leader who came up through hardware. You might have been an NPI or hardware program manager, a systems or EE lead who ran programs, or a product manager embedded deep in hardware development. Whatever the path, you understand how a real program actually runs. You’ve taken products from 0 to 1, you’re energized by a blank page, and you’d rather get three things in front of users than perfect one deck. 

This is a builder’s role. You’ll report directly to Reflow’s general manager, who owns overall product vision and strategy. Your job is to own execution, discovery, and the details, and to be the person who makes the right product real and ships it on time. You should already be using AI tools to accelerate your own work, and you should be excited to build the first AI-native platform for complex hardware development. 

What You’ll Do 

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include: 

  • Owning product execution end to end, from talking to hardware engineers, to writing specs and PRDs, to working daily with engineering to ship 
  • Running discovery across our early adopter program, which spans several dozen internal and external companies, getting into the real workflows of hardware program execution and turning them into product 
  • Being the domain voice in the room, able to talk credibly with an EE, a mechanical lead, or a program manager about their actual pain and earn their trust in the first conversation 
  • Driving the roadmap and hitting dates by setting realistic timelines, communicating them clearly, and delivering against them consistently 
  • Writing clearly and concisely across specs, updates, and customer-facing material, because writing is how product gets built here 
  • Prototyping and demoing, putting things in front of users early, running the demo yourself, and iterating on what you learn 

Requirements 

Must Have: 

  • Direct experience running hardware program execution, whether as an NPI or hardware program manager, a hardware, systems, or EE lead who ran programs, or a PM embedded deep in hardware development 
  • Demonstrated 0-to-1 experience taking a new product from a blank page to something real and shipped, whether hardware or software 
  • High output and a bias to action, with a track record of shipping 
  • Excellent written communication that is clear, concise, and structured, with the ability to turn a messy problem into a one-page spec anyone can act on 
  • Deadline discipline: you set commitments, keep them, and flag slippage early 
  • Deep subject-matter credibility with hardware engineers and program teams 
  • Comfort using AI tools to accelerate your own work 

Highly Valuable: 

  • Experience building software for engineers or manufacturing (PLM, MES, EDA, ALM, dev tools, or similar) 
  • Hands-on experience building AI or LLM-powered products 
  • Prior early-stage, 0-to-1 startup experience 
  • Technical enough to prototype (scripting or vibe-coding a wireframe) 
  • Deep fluency with the hardware NPI lifecycle: phase-gate reviews (EVT/DVT/PVT), cross-team dependencies, engineering changes (ECRs/ECOs), and BOM/PLM workflows 

What We Offer 

Real Impact: The opportunity to build purpose-built tooling for an entire industry that has never had it 

Customer Access: Direct exposure to hundreds of real hardware projects annually through Re:Build’s engineering and manufacturing companies 

Technical Growth: Hands-on work with advanced AI technologies solving novel technical challenges 

Autonomy: Backed by Re:Build while operating with startup independence 

Benefits: Full health/dental/vision, bonus program, generous 401K, paid time off, annual learning stipend 

Equity & Growth: Participation in Re:Build’s LTIP equity program and opportunity for founder equity in potential spin-out 

Compensation & Location 

Location: Remote-first, with preference for candidates in Boston, Seattle, Los Angeles, or other cities with Re:Build offices 

Compensation: The base salary range for this position is $164,000 – $247,000 per year. This range represents the Company’s good faith estimate of the base compensation for this role at the time of posting.  Actual compensation will be determined based on several factors, including but not limited to proven experience, skills, qualifications, internal equity, and geographic location. In addition to base salary, this role may be eligible for annual incentive compensation and/or long-term incentives, subject to Company plans. The Company offers a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, retirement, paid time off, and other benefits.  Potential equity stake under independent spinout scenario.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
