Product Manager, Control GUIs (Dashboards)

Revel, Los Angeles, CA, United States


About Revel At Revel, we are revolutionizing the way the world’s most critical hardware is controlled—across aerospace, automotive, energy, robotics, defense, and advanced manufacturing sectors. Our next-generation software stack combines an intuitive command/control interface, a specialized programming language tailored for hardware control, and a high-performance runtime environment. We empower engineers to build, test, and deploy critical systems rapidly, reliably, and safely.

Our dashboards and control interfaces are central to operating mission‑critical hardware — in environments where clarity, speed, and correctness are essential.

Role Overview We are hiring a

Product Manager to join our Dashboards team . This is an individual contributor role with team management responsibility over a dedicated squad of engineers and a designer.

This role is for someone who deeply understands high-density, mission‑critical interfaces — and cares about why users request features, not just what they ask for.

Today, feature requests often enter the roadmap as tasks. We’re looking for someone who will build strong relationships with users, uncover real pain points, and bring opinionated product judgment to what “good” looks like in complex control interfaces.

You will work directly with customers operating real systems, collaborate closely with engineering to scope and prioritize features, and partner with the Head of Product on long‑term UI/UX vision and roadmap strategy.

What You’ll Do

Work directly with users in aerospace, nuclear, and other hardware‑heavy industries to deeply understand their workflows and pain points

Translate feature requests into clearly scoped product requirements grounded in user need and system constraints

Write high-quality PRDs that clearly articulate

what we’re building and why

Own roadmap planning for dashboards and communicate priorities across engineering and customer stakeholders

Build tight feedback loops with customers to validate shipped features and measure real-world impact

Partner closely with design to craft intuitive, high-density information interfaces

Ensure dashboard UX meets the standards required for mission‑critical and potentially hazardous systems

Provide context continuously — aligning engineering, design leadership, and customers around product direction

Contribute to longer‑term dashboard strategy alongside the Head of Product

This role requires strong product judgment, structured thinking, and a willingness to operate in highly technical environments.

What We’re Looking For Must-Have Experience

3+ years of product management experience (or highly relevant adjacent experience)

Experience building or working on

software for hardware systems

Exposure to

HMI (Human Machine Interfaces)

— either building them or operating them directly

Familiarity with HMI guidelines and safety‑critical UX principles

Strong user empathy and experience conducting direct customer discovery

Experience writing product requirements documents and owning roadmap planning

Prior software engineering experience

Python literacy (all PMs at Revel are expected to be comfortable reading and reasoning about Python)

Mission‑driven mindset with strong ownership over outcomes

Plusses

Experience designing or managing interfaces for mission‑critical or potentially dangerous systems

Experience working with hardware systems or embedded systems

Background in aerospace, defense, robotics, advanced manufacturing, energy, automotive, or similar industries

Experience at companies such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, defense primes, robotics companies, or industrial technology firms

Familiarity with LabVIEW, MATLAB, or similar hardware‑oriented environments

Team & Exposure You will work alongside a dedicated dashboard team consisting of engineers and a designer. You will work directly with the Head of Product and CEO, gaining exposure to multiple industries operating high‑stakes hardware systems.

Our customer feedback loops are tight — you’ll see directly how your decisions impact real-world operations.
