Initial Project
Xometrys Instant Quoting platform is the core of how buyers get a price lead time and manufacturability signal on a part. Pricing & Manufacturability (P&M) owns the engines and models behind that experience: Auto-Quote pricing and cost Design for Manufacturability (DFM) / geometry analysis Drawing AI (CAD and 2D drawing interpretation) and the ML models that predict cost lead time and drawing intelligence.
The Sr. Technical Program Manager will work with senior leadership engineering product data science and business teams to deliver these capabilities end to end from model and service work through product integration operations and post-launch improvement. That includes coordinating how CAD models and drawings move through geometry DFM and Drawing AI services how ML models are trained evaluated productionized and monitored and how those outputs show up as price DFM feedback and quoting decisions for buyers and staff.
