At CoLab, we help engineering teams bring life-changing products to the world years sooner. Our platform is the world’s first Design Engagement System (DES) - a category defining product that Engineering teams use to engage in meaningful, productive design conversations, catch preventable mistakes, and get to market faster. Our customers include the largest engineering organizations in the world spanning from industrial equipment, consumer products, automotive, aerospace & defense, and shipbuilding industries.
About the RoleAs a Customer Success Manager, you will lead the post-sale customer journey for a portfolio of Commercial and Enterprise customers to drive successful onboarding, product adoption, and progress customers toward clear business outcomes. You’ll be part of a cross-functional account team, working closely with Customer Engineering Advisors to align product adoption to customers’ technical workflows and partnering with Sales on retention and growth opportunities. This is a foundational role for someone with 1-3 years in a customer-facing SaaS role with desire to grow into a Senior or Strategic CSM.
In-person customer engagement is a key part of this role’s success. On-site visits have consistently driven higher adoption, deeper relationships, and better business outcomes for our customers.

What We Do
Engineers need better tools for working together. CAD and PLM systems aren’t built for the design conversations where collaboration truly happens. So engineers go outside of them, using emails and slideshows to get the job done. But when these critical design discussions live in siloed, manual tools, you’re missing vital insights on why engineering decisions are being made, what needs to improve, and how to steer your people in the right direction.
After struggling with the traditional email, PowerPoint, and screenshot-driven collaboration process used by over 90% of manufacturing teams today, our founders made a decision: if better tools didn’t exist, they’d build them. And so CoLab began.
CoLab is a web-based collaboration tool that lets your team share CAD, provide feedback with full mechanical context, and capture the critical design data that your other systems don’t—giving you a design review and collaboration process that’s standardized, simplified, and twice-as-fast.
Today CoLab is trusted by Fortune 500 companies like Johnson Controls and Hyundai Mobis, who use the platform to accelerate design cycles by 51%, drive continuous improvement, and reduce product costs and changes.
