Why Heliux:
Heliux is building the AI-native operating system for the manufacturing enterprise. We’re fundamentally reshaping how engineering and manufacturing companies run by eliminating cross-functional fragmentation and enabling agentic execution on a single, shared operational reality. Companies developing and scaling production of next-generation defense systems, nuclear reactors, robotics, and more all trust Heliux to drive their operations.
We’re on a mission to deliver operating performance for manufacturers. Our team is built on a foundation of grit combined with deep commitment to our customers and the mission. If you want to do important work for critical industries on an ambitious, high-energy team, we’d love for you to join us.
About the Role:
The Product Manager will report directly to the CEO, and is responsible for the outcome of Supply Chain OS, Heliux’s end-to-end supply chain management module:
Partner closely with our customers’ supply chain and manufacturing organizations to gain a continuous understanding of their work–the good, the bad, the ugly.
Anticipate the capabilities that our customers need and translate them into clearly-defined product requirements that drive our design and engineering work.
Own end-to-end roadmap for Supply Chain OS, including priorities, development schedule, and release sequencing.
Author release communications for both existing customers and prospects, across every channel.
Work with Product Managers across Heliux to ensure the platform is greater than the sum of its modules.
About You:
Proven experience as a supply chain leader supporting operations that ship complex hardware systems that are used in the field (i.e., not science projects).

Proven systems thinker who finds the root problem rather than the requested feature and converts it into clear product requirements.
Willingness to be customer-facing–from the sales process, through deployment, and post-go-live.
Technical Environment:
Backend: Rust, Python, high-performance backend services, APIs, data-intensive systems.
Frontend: TypeScript, React, Next.js, real-time interfaces, WebSockets, Server-Sent Events (SSE).

What We Do
Heliux is a software platform that unifies and accelerates enterprise-wide operations for manufacturers. We’re creating a centralized operating system that integrates the manufacturing enterprise—its cross-functional teams, operations, data, and decisions—onto a single system of record and execution. From engineering to supply chain, production, and beyond, our platform replaces legacy systems of record such as Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Manufacturing Execution System (MES), and other point solutions to drive unified performance across operations. Based out of San Francisco, CA, Heliux is on a mission to drive unprecedented velocity in manufacturing. We’re backed by investors from New Stack Ventures, Marlinspike, Humba Ventures, Amplify.LA, Crosscut Ventures, and Lux Capital.
