At CoLab, we want to help mechanical engineering teams bring life-changing products to market years sooner.
CoLab is a cloud based platform for engineering design review. We make it easy for subject matter experts (SMEs) across your business to access, evaluate, and comment on 2D drawings and 3D models. Our built-in AI peer checker, AutoReview, scans designs for common errors or non-compliance with your standards and guidelines. AutoReview creates markups and comments on your files, in context – just like a human checker.
With CoLab, human SMEs and AI work together to help you make better decisions and improve designs faster. We automatically capture knowledge from across your global business that would otherwise be buried in emails, spreadsheets, slide decks, and unknown locations in Sharepoint or PLM. Then, we make sure every lesson learned and every design guideline is applied exactly when it matters.
Companies like Johnson Controls, Komatsu, Schaeffler, and Polaris have launched products 40% faster, cut BOM costs by 50%, and reduced quality escapes by 15% in 1 year.
We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to lead Build Operator, one of the most strategically important product areas at CoLab.
Operator is our conversational AI agent for engineering teams. It helps users search engineering knowledge, understand complex design data, execute actions inside CoLab, and automate review workflows.
A lot of the work on Operator is still highly iterative and experimental. You’ll help the team move through cycles of theory → prototype → test → abandon → repeat. The right person finds that energizing, not frustrating.
You’ll lead a team of 8 engineers alongside a Product Manager and Designer. You’ll report to the Director of Engineering and work closely with product and technical leadership shaping the future of AI at CoLab.
We’re looking for a highly technical, player-coach Engineering Manager. Someone who can lead through deep involvement in the work — not from a distance. You should be comfortable jumping into architecture discussions, reviewing implementation details, unblocking engineers, and contributing technically when needed.
You won’t find heavy processes here for the sake of process. We operate with lightweight planning rhythms, clear ownership, and high trust. Monthly direction-setting happens collaboratively, while execution is managed week-to-week with a strong pulse on progress and product vision.
You’ll likely do well in this role if you:
Frequently cited statistics show that people who identify with historically marginalized groups are likely to apply to jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. We encourage you to help us break that statistic and apply even if you don’t meet every single qualification—your potential is what matters most to us.
