TL;DR · CapEx Manufacturing Optimization Product Manager

The CapEx Manufacturing Optimization Product Manager joins the Product Operations Data Team to lead the data optimization vision for the Capex Equipment Engineering organization. This strategic role serves as a critical bridge between deep Capex domain knowledge and a dedicated ML engineering team, translating business needs into technical requirements for predictive models. You will define prediction objectives, map upstream data sources, and build frameworks that transform manual estimation into model-driven predictions to influence product design decisions. Key responsibilities include defining requirements for real-time design guidance tools and communicating complex model outputs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. The role requires strong quantitative analytical skills, a foundational understanding of predictive models, and the ability to translate ambiguous problems into structured requirements. Candidates should possess experience in data pipelines, feature engineering, and model validation within manufacturing or supply chain environments.

What you'll do

  • Translate manufacturing domain logic into clear data inputs and prediction objectives for ML model development.
  • Identify and map upstream data sources to serve as trigger signals for Capex prediction frameworks.
  • Act as the primary bridge between Capex domain experts and the technical ML engineering team.
  • Build and maintain a requirements framework to turn predictive capabilities into real-time design guidance tools.
  • Transform manual estimation practices into automated, model-driven intelligence to improve capital impact insights.
  • Communicate model outputs, capabilities, and limitations to both technical teams and non-technical executives.
  • Define the architectural roadmap for data optimization within the Capex Equipment Engineering organization.

What we're looking for

  • BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related quantitative field, or equivalent hands-on experience.
  • 3+ years of experience in an analytical, data, or technically oriented role.
  • Strong quantitative analytical skills to work with complex, multi-source datasets and extract meaningful signals.
  • Foundational understanding of how predictive models are trained, what they require as inputs, and how outputs should be interpreted.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous business problems into structured, precise requirements for technical teams.
  • 5+ years of experience in an analytically driven role with increasing scope and ownership (preferred).
  • Experience in manufacturing, supply chain, or capital equipment environments (preferred).
  • Familiarity with data pipeline concepts, feature engineering, and model validation practices (preferred).
