Product Marketing Engineer (Mechanical)

About the Role

A fast-growing AI software company serving the hardware engineering industry is looking for a Product Marketing Engineer (Mechanical) to bridge the gap between deep technical credibility and compelling go-to-market content. This is a unique role for a mechanical engineer who is passionate about communication, storytelling, and helping fellow engineers understand and adopt powerful new tools.

You'll work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Growth to produce case studies, enablement assets, onboarding materials, and technical content that resonates with mechanical engineers — from individual contributors to executives. No formal product marketing experience is required; what matters most is your engineering foundation and your ability to translate complex technical problems into clear, persuasive narratives.

What You'll Do

Lead creation of case studies and technical proof points that demonstrate product value to mechanical engineering audiences.

Collaborate with Product and Engineering to translate complex technical wins into persuasive narratives for customers and prospects.

Own customer onboarding materials, anticipating technical friction points during early adoption.

Create sales enablement assets — including POC guides, Champion Kits, and master decks — that convert technically skeptical prospects.

Maintain post-sales knowledge resources, including a product knowledge base and step-by-step product guides.

Draft 2–3 deep-dive technical blog posts per quarter and contribute to newsletter copy in partnership with the Growth team.

Act as the internal lead for website messaging and help evolve product positioning over time.

Support webinars and demand-generation efforts with engineering-first content and technical credibility.

What We're Looking For

Required:

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (dealbreaker requirement).

2+ years of hands-on experience working as a mechanical engineer, with direct familiarity with ME workflows and pain points.

Demonstrated ability to document and structure technical content with measurable impact — outcomes, numbers, and ownership over final content form.

Proven ability to translate complex mechanical engineering problems into customer-facing explanations for both engineers and executives.

Nice to Have:

Experience producing technical content for engineering audiences (case studies, onboarding guides, champion kits, proof-of-concept materials).

Experience creating content for website evolution, webinars, and demand-generation assets.

MBA or demonstrated business acumen connecting technical depth to bottom-line business value.

Experience enabling engineering customers through technical guides and knowledge base content.

Formal product marketing experience (a plus, not required).

Mindset:

Proof-obsessed: you prefer "show, don't tell" and take ownership over content performance.

Strong examples of technical writing, documentation, or presentations that communicate engineering concepts and real-world impact.

Compensation & Benefits

Salary: $130,000 – $200,000 USD annually, depending on experience.

Competitive benefits package typical of a well-funded early-stage tech company.

Visa sponsorship: Not available for this role.

Location

This is an on-site role based in San Francisco, CA. Candidates must be willing to work from the San Francisco office. Remote work is not available for this position.
