The tools used to design aircraft, ships, reservoirs, and medical devices still run on numerical methods that are decades old, and an engineer can wait a full day for a single answer. UniversalAGI is building foundation models that learn physics directly from data, and they are already running in early deployments on real computational fluid dynamics and reservoir engineering problems for some of the largest industrial and defense organizations in the world.\nWe are a team of 25 researchers and engineers in San Francisco backed by Elad Gil (#1 Solo VC), Eric Schmidt (former Google CEO), Prith Banerjee (ANSYS CTO), Ion Stoica (Databricks Founder), Jared Kushner (former Senior Advisor to the President), David Patterson (Turing Award Winner), and Luis Videgaray (former Foreign and Finance Minister of Mexico).\nAbout the Role\nUniversalAGI is hiring our first Technical Product Manager to build and own the execution of our core platform from 0 to 1. You will build the product that replaces slow, compute-heavy numerical solvers with our proprietary Latent Interacting Field Transformer (LIFT) architecture, taking raw geometries and delivering physics-consistent outputs at over 95% accuracy in seconds.\nYou’ll work closely with the CEO alongside an elite team of 90%+ PhDs and Physical AI pioneers to turn complex workflows from prime defense contractors, top-tier automotive OEMs, and national energy companies into intuitive, scalable product solutions. This is a “ship outcomes” role: your work directly determines how users interact with our models, how fast we can iterate on features, and how seamlessly we deliver value to the most demanding engineering teams in the world.\nWhat You'll Do\nTake our product from 0 to 1: Own the customer-facing experience across the UniversalAGI platform, including our web UI, API, CLI, and CAD environment integrations (like FreeCAD, CATIA, and SolidWorks).\n\nTranslate complex workflows: Deeply understand the simulation bottlenecks of world-class engineers across defense, aerospace, maritime, and energy, and turn those into precise product requirements.\n\nDefine the roadmap: Shape the rollout of our automated data generation pipelines, active learning capabilities, uncertainty quantification, and geometry morphing tools.\n\nBridge AI and Engineering: Act as the translation layer between our elite machine learning researchers, physics domain experts, and enterprise customers.\n\nSupport complex deployments: Design product features that accommodate strict enterprise deployment requirements, including ITAR-ready, on-premise, and air-gapped sovereign environments.\n\nQualifications\n0-to-1 Product Experience: Strong product management skills with a proven track record of shipping highly technical products from scratch in an early-stage startup environment.\n\nDeep Technical Fluency: Comfortable navigating APIs, cloud infrastructure, and holding your own in conversations with world-class PhD researchers and engineering leaders.\n\nOlympic athlete mindset: You have high standards for yourself and are obsessed with measurable improvement on the metrics you are delivering to customers.\n\nCustomer Obsession: You possess the ability to extract qualitative feedback from sophisticated enterprise buyers and distill it into precise product requirements.\n\nResourcefulness: You know when to do the “quick & correct” fix vs. when to invest in a robust solution, and you can justify the tradeoff with impact.\n\nOwnership: Comfortable owning work end-to-end and being accountable for measurable outcomes.\n\nBonus Qualifications\nExperience with physical engineering, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA), or reservoir simulation.\n\nExperience with 3D applications, industrial design software, or automated meshing and post-processing tools.\n\nExperience deploying into regulated / security-sensitive environments (gov/defense/enterprise).\n\nPrior experience building for or selling to defense, aerospace, maritime, or energy enterprises.\n\nCultural Fit\nTechnical Respect: Ability to earn respect through hands-on technical contribution\n\nIntensity: Thrives in our unusually intense culture - willing to grind when needed\n\nCustomer Obsession: Passionate about solving real customer problems, not just cool tech\n\nDeep Work: Values long, uninterrupted periods of focused work over meetings\n\nHigh Availability: Ready to be deeply involved whenever critical issues arise\n\nCommunication: Can translate complex technical concepts to customers and team\n\nGrowth Mindset: Embraces the compounding returns of intelligence and continuous learning\n\nStartup Mindset: Comfortable with ambiguity, rapid change, and wearing multiple hats\n\nWork Ethic: Willing to put in the extra hours when needed to hit critical milestones\n\nTeam Player: Collaborative approach with low ego and high accountability\n\nWhat We Offer\nOpportunity to shape the technical foundation of a rapidly growing foundational AI company.\n\nWork on cutting-edge industrial AI problems with immediate real-world impact.\n\nDirect collaboration with the founder & CEO and ability to influence company strategy\n\nCompetitive compensation with significant equity upside.\n\nIn-person first culture - 5 days a week in office with a team that values face-to-face collaboration.\n\nAccess to world-class investors and advisors in the AI space.\n\nBenefits\nWe provide great benefits, including:\nCompetitive compensation and equity.\n\nCompetitive health, dental, vision benefits paid by the company.\n\n401(k) plan offering.\n\nFlexible vacation.\n\nTeam Building & Fun Activities.\n\nGreat scope, ownership and impact.\n\nAI tools stipend.\n\nMonthly commute stipend.\n\nMonthly wellness / fitness stipend.\n\nDaily office lunch & dinner covered by the company.\n\nHow We’re Different\n“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again... who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.\" - Teddy Roosevelt\nAt our core, we believe in being “in the arena.” We are builders, problem solvers, and risk-takers who show up every day ready to put in the work: to sweat, to struggle, and to push past our limits. We know that real progress comes with missteps, iteration, and resilience. We embrace that journey fully knowing that daring greatly is the only way to create something truly meaningful.\nIf you're ready to join the future of physics simulation, push creative boundaries, and deliver impact, UniversalAGI is the place for you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6834,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning","Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Machine Learning","Simulation & Digital Twin Software","AI for Science"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-04T19:33:48Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 3","filings_12m":3,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":172500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.332,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":73,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/universalagi-technical-product-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/universalagi-technical-product-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T20:44:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4884,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":8996},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8996"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Funiversalagi-technical-product-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Funiversalagi-technical-product-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Funiversalagi-technical-product-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/universalagi-technical-product-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Funiversalagi-technical-product-manager"}]}
