  • Collaborate closely with engineering, design, and hardware teams to ensure seamless integration of software and bioreactors.

About you :

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant field
  • 4–6 years of professional experience, preferably in a technical field such as software, hardware, or biotechnology.
  • 2–4 years as a Product Manager, with a track record of launching impactful products and bringing new ideas to market.
  • Relentless focus on understanding customer needs and delivering products they love.
  • Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and drive results in fast-paced, dynamic environments.
  • Skilled in developing features for complex software products, with a hands-on approach to testing and quality assurance.
  • Strong communicator, adept at explaining complex decisions and balancing detail with strategic vision.
  • Excited to take ownership of initiatives, bring new ideas to life, and thrive in an environment that values creativity and innovation.
  • Experience in SaaS, Life Sciences, Startups or other highly technical domains is a plus.
  • In return, we offer a supportive environment. Our company values are :

  • Lift others up. Because we all do better when we help each other succeed.
  • Commitment to reliability. Our teammates and customers are counting on us.
  • Think like an owner. Progress is driven by teams who care.
  • Try new things. Big innovations start with small ideas and actions
