Senior Technical Product Manager in Slough

About Circuit Mind

We are a deep tech startup on a mission to enable the next generation of hardware inventions. We are building a product that automates the design of electronic circuit boards creating high-quality electronic systems, lightning fast. We are tackling hard problems that no one has ever solved before, pushing beyond what is currently thought to be possible.

Electronic circuit boards are at the core of current and future inventions - space travel, medical robotics, autonomous transportation, augmented reality, bio-engineering. Yet today designing an electronic circuit board is an extremely manual, long and tedious process. At Circuit Mind we believe that this is wrong and we are on a mission to fix it, triggering the future of hardware design.

We enable our customers to go to market faster with better hardware products and lower costs, via our entirely new software engine for circuit boards. This takes as inputs the requirements of a circuit board and automatically outputs a complete design, ready for manufacture. Your mission is to lead the crafting of new capabilities for this amazing product.
