Head of Product / Product Owner – SaaS in Additive Manufacturing Spherene

pbHead of Product / Product Owner, /bSaaS for Additive Manufacturing (100%, f/m/d) /p pSpherene AG · Glattbrugg (Zurich), Switzerland · On-site /p pShape is what you see. Performance is what’s inside. /p pMost engineering software designs the outside of a part. We design what makes it perform: the inside. /p pSpherene is a Swiss deep-tech company that invented ADMS (Adaptive Density Minimal Surfaces), a new class of internal structures for 3D printed parts. Our platform, SphereneNXT, puts this technology in every engineer’s browser. Users generate ADMS, TPMS and beam architectures that make parts lighter, stiffer, flexible, cooler and safer, from concept to printed part, with no installation and no compromise on depth. /p pOur technology has been validated by industrial customers, used daily by 150+ MSc/PhD students and faculties, and is applied by designers and engineers in DfAM worldwide, supported by a growing international reseller network. Simulation is being integrated right now, and the next major innovation is already in the pipeline. The new chapter is about scale, and that’s where you come in. /p h3THE ROLE /h3 pThis is not a “manage the backlog” job. As Head of Product,you own SphereneNXT end to end: the vision, the roadmap, and the delivery. You decide what gets built and why, and you make sure it ships.
