We are building a new category
Every product a manufacturer ships is the result of thousands of engineering decisions about architecture, physics, components and trade-offs. Today those decisions are scattered across documents, spreadsheets and people’s heads. The software around them only stores the outcome.
SourcePilot is the decision layer for engineering in manufacturing companies. It is where customer intent becomes architecture, physics becomes sized components, and every decision traces back to the requirements. From that layer, specifications flow downstream to CAD, simulation and procurement, and they stay live as products change. Most tools organise engineering data. SourcePilot does the engineering, delivering requirements, variants, change requests and optimisations as finished work.
Why this role matters
Architectures, physics models, trade-offs and requirement traces are some of the most complex information in industry, and today they are hidden behind tools designed for storing data, not for thinking. As the Product Engineer, you decide what working in the decision layer feels like. You will own the product experience end-to-end, from the first sketch to production code, and set the standard for what engineering software should be.
What you will own
Make engineering decisions visible and trustworthy
- Own the product experience end-to-end, from first session to daily use: workflows, information architecture, interaction design and visual quality.
- Design interfaces that let engineers explore, compare and trust architectures, physics models, trade-offs and requirement traces, without needing a modelling expert beside them.
- Make every recommendation explainable, with the provenance, permissions and audit trails that enterprise engineering organisations expect.
Build the product, not just the screens
- Write production frontend code that is fast, robust and accessible, and that handles large, complex engineering data with ease.
- Work with our AI and platform engineers on the APIs and data contracts behind every view.
- Create and own the design system and UX patterns, so the product stays coherent as the team and the feature set grow.
Bring the reality of engineering into the product
- Sit with engineers at customer sites, see how design reviews, change requests and sourcing decisions really happen, and turn what you see into product decisions.
- Prototype fast, test with real users, measure adoption and iterate. Write the specs for what you build, together with the founders.
- Turn patterns from our forward-deployed work into reusable product features, so every new customer needs less custom work than the last.
Who we are looking for
We hire very few people, and only the most ambitious and talented. You understand engineering or have worked inside a manufacturer. You can watch a design review in the morning and ship the interface that changes it in the afternoon. You own outcomes, not tasks, and you want to define how industrial products are engineered for the next decade. If you want a comfortable role, this isn’t it.
We operate as an AI-native company. Our engineers work with fleets of agents, build the loops that make them better, and expect their own output to grow every quarter. If you don’t yet work this way, this isn’t the role.
Must have
- Exceptional frontend engineering skills; you ship complex, production-grade applications, not only prototypes
- You use agents to compress design and build cycles, going from a user insight to a tested prototype in days, and you turn each iteration into reusable components
- A hardware engineering background (mechanical, electrical, mechatronics, systems) or hands-on experience inside a manufacturing or industrial company
- Strong UI/UX judgement: you design, not only implement, and you have shipped work to show for it
- Product mindset: you challenge scope, make the call and care about adoption, not output; willing to travel to customer sites
Strong plus
- Experience with CAD, PLM, simulation or other engineering software, as a builder or a power user
- Data visualisation for complex technical, graph-structured or simulation data
- You have built node- or graph-based modelling interfaces (Simulink, Modelica, LabVIEW or similar) where users compose, inspect and debug complex systems visually
- You have designed human-AI interaction for agentic products: what the AI is doing versus what it’s saying, when it should act or ask, and how people steer, interrupt and take over its work
- Experience in automotive, aerospace, rail, robotics, energy or machinery
What you get
- End-to-end ownership of how engineers experience a new category, from the first pixel.
- The hardest interface problem in industrial software: making AI and physics usable, explainable and trusted by the engineers who rely on them.
- A small, exceptional team with direct access to the founders.
- Competitive salary and participation in the company’s equity scheme.
