Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Persona development: Document the challenges, workflows, communities, and preferences of our initial target cohort. Continuously refine personas as we learn directly from users.
  • Narrative and positioning: Craft and iterate the “why Cadonix” story for cloud-native ECAD. Develop messaging that speaks to early adopters who are frustrated with legacy, file-based, and version-control-heavy workflows.
  • Early-adopter community building: Identify and cultivate product champions among initial users. Build a small, vocal community of design engineers who drive organic word-of-mouth, share their work, and pull in their peers.
  • Content creation: Produce hands-on technical marketing content including blog posts, demo videos, walkthrough tutorials, social posts, one-pagers, and short-form clips that resonate with practicing engineers.
  • Customer discovery and voice-of-customer: Run discovery calls, structured interviews, surveys, and feedback loops with prospects and active users. Synthesize insights into clear, actionable input for Product and Marketing.
  • Launch and release marketing: Coordinate cross-functional launches for new features and achievements. Run beta programs, set up structured feedback channels, and turn launches into community moments.
  • Competitive intelligence: Maintain a working understanding of competing and adjacent ECAD tools (e.g., Altium, KiCad, OrCAD, EAGLE). Craft credible, honest head-to-head narratives.
  • Sales enablement: Equip the early sales motion with demos, decks, talk tracks, objection handlers, FAQs, and reference material. Sit in on sales calls and rapidly close gaps the team encounters.
  • Case studies and social proof: Identify reference customers and design wins from the initial cohort. Produce written case studies, video testimonials, and quotable references that build credibility with the next wave of users.
  • Metrics and iteration: Track sign-ups, activation, retention, and qualitative signals (community sentiment, NPS, user interviews). Report on what is working and what is not, and iterate weekly rather than quarterly.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience and education.
  • 4+ years of product marketing experience, ideally in B2B SaaS targeting technical buyers.
  • Demonstrated experience launching or growing an early-stage product (pre- or early product-market fit) is highly preferred over experience scaling mature, enterprise-integrated platforms.
  • Track record of building written and video content that engineers in the field actually read, share, and quote.

Preferred

  • Direct experience marketing CAD, ECAD, EDA, PLM, simulation, or other engineering-focused software
  • Hands-on familiarity with electronic design workflows
