At CoLab, we help mechanical engineering teams bring life-changing products to market years sooner. Our product, CoLab, is the world’s first Design Engagement System (DES) - a category defining product that Engineering teams use to engage in meaningful, productive design conversations, catch preventable mistakes, and get to market faster. We are currently focused on the industrial equipment, consumer products, and automotive industries, and our customers are among the largest engineering organizations in the world.
As a Product Manager at CoLab, you will shape the requirements for new product features, guide build team projects to ensure desired outcomes, and work with product marketing and success to launch finished features to customers. If you are excited by challenging scopes of work, take pride in producing high quality products, and are passionate about organizing and executing complex, multi-disciplinary projects, this could be the perfect role for you.
What you’ll do:
- Complete customer and user research, maintain roadmaps, brainstorm solutions to challenging problems, and discuss proposals and designs for new ideas with cross-functional teams
- Write clear and concise product requirements to capture the vision, goals, success criteria, and key elements of new products and features
- Use data to inform decisions, validate hypotheses, track performance, and iterate on solutions—leveraging both qualitative and quantitative inputs
- Understand and deconstruct technical and engineering specific problems; translate them into easy to use solutions for our customers
- Represent business goals and solutions; work cross-functionally to solve challenges in product development and arrive at the optimal outcome for the product and our customers
- Collaborate across many teams at CoLab to communicate product requirements and deliver features, striving for the best customer experience, and with willingness to make smart compromises as necessary
What you’ll need:
- 5+ years Product Management experience, ideally with AI-enabled B2B products
- Technical track record working closely with development/technical teams
- Experience and ability to understand and shape complex problems into simple solutions
- Familiarity with mechanical engineering workflows or experience working on products that support engineering design, CAD and or PLM workflows would be considered an asset
- Excellent oral and written communication skills
- Experience working closely with cross-functional teams, in a fast paced environment, to define product strategy and roadmap
The extra details:
- Compensation: This is a full-time, permanent position with an attractive compensation package that includes a stock options package.
- Benefits: This role offers an extended health and benefits package that includes unlimited paid vacation and RRSP matching.
- Remote/Hybrid Work: Our main office location is in St. John’s, NL where we offer hybrid and remote opportunities. This role has the flexibility to work from anywhere within Canada.

What We Do
Engineers need better tools for working together. CAD and PLM systems aren’t built for the design conversations where collaboration truly happens. So engineers go outside of them, using emails and slideshows to get the job done. But when these critical design discussions live in siloed, manual tools, you’re missing vital insights on why engineering decisions are being made, what needs to improve, and how to steer your people in the right direction.
After struggling with the traditional email, PowerPoint, and screenshot-driven collaboration process used by over 90% of manufacturing teams today, our founders made a decision: if better tools didn’t exist, they’d build them. And so CoLab began.
CoLab is a web-based collaboration tool that lets your team share CAD, provide feedback with full mechanical context, and capture the critical design data that your other systems don’t—giving you a design review and collaboration process that’s standardized, simplified, and twice-as-fast.
Today CoLab is trusted by Fortune 500 companies like Johnson Controls and Hyundai Mobis, who use the platform to accelerate design cycles by 51%, drive continuous improvement, and reduce product costs and changes.
