Overview

PTC is seeking an experienced, customer-focused Sr. Principal Product Manager to lead PTC Modeler and help shape the next generation of systems engineering at PTC. This role combines direct product management responsibility for an established enterprise MBSE solution with the opportunity to influence how PTC evolves beyond today's traditional modeling tools and workflows.

The role reports to the Vice President of Product Management - AI/MBSE, whose portfolio spans Codebeamer, AI, Pure Variants, and Modeler. The Product Manager will own the strategy, roadmap, discovery, and business outcomes for Modeler while serving as a key strategic partner to the VP of Product Management - AI/MBSE and other product and technology leaders defining PTC's longer-term direction for MBSE and systems engineering.

PTC believes the future of systems engineering will require more connected, accessible, and intelligent experiences. We are exploring how AI and agentic experiences, connected engineering information, open standards, and deeper integration across the product lifecycle can create new ways for engineers to understand, design, analyze, communicate, and evolve complex systems. This Product Manager will bring the perspective of customers, practitioners, partners, and the market into that work.

The ideal candidate combines strong product management judgment with systems thinking technical curiosity, commercial awareness, and credibility with engineering customers. This is an opportunity to deliver meaningful value for Modeler customers today while helping PTC explore what comes next for model-based and systems engineering.
