Description

Role Summary
We're looking for a Project Manager to lead a multidisciplinary engineering team building a high-performance simulation platform.

  • Manage resourcing across backend, simulation/numerical, and UI teams
  • Own documentation hygiene and change-management process for the team
  • Interface with leadership on progress, risks, and roadmap

Requirements

  • 8+ years managing software engineering teams (Agile/Scrum)
  • Working familiarity with distributed systems, HPC/batch job environments (e.g., SLURM-style schedulers), or scientific/simulation software
  • Comfortable reading architecture docs and asking sharp questions
  • Experience managing teams spanning multiple languages/stacks (e.g., C++ core + Python/web layers)
  • Strong stakeholder communication and conflict resolution skills

Nice to Have

  • Prior PM experience in defense, aerospace, or simulation/training systems
  • Exposure to REST/event-driven architectures

Benefits

We offer great career growth, ESOPs, Gratuity, PF and Health Insurance.
