A growing global leader in high-precision motion control technology has partnered with us exclusively to find a technically sharp, self-driven Product Marketing Manager to join their Minneapolis-area team.

This company builds advanced motion control systems used inside the most demanding machines on the planet – semiconductor manufacturing, genome sequencing, laser microprocessing, and electronics production. Their products are trusted by OEM engineers who need sub-nanometer precision and zero tolerance for failure. They’re small enough that every person on the team has real impact, and experienced enough (40 years) that you’ll have senior mentors who’ve already walked the path you’re on.

This is a role open due to promotion, built and shaped by the hiring manager who had this role previously. You’ll step in with a clear runway, an existing content library, and a team with 20 years of combined product marketing experience across the US, Germany, and Israel. Day one you’re driving go-to-market execution, building out a technical content library, and getting hands-on with voice-of-customer research across a global OEM customer base. Base pay starting at $120k .

Minneapolis-area location preferred. Remote will be considered for candidates with direct motion control industry backgrounds.

Responsibilities

• Build and execute go-to-market plans for product and feature launches, including messaging, value propositions, and sales training materials
• Create and maintain a portfolio of technical marketing content - datasheets, white papers, application stories, video scripts, webinars, and social media
• Conduct structured voice-of-customer research with OEM engineers, product managers, and executives to capture market trends, application requirements, and competitive intelligence
• Analyze competitors' products, strategies, and market activity
• Maintain an internal competitive intelligence database and educate the global sales team
• Drive adoption of AI-native workflows to accelerate content creation, market research, and competitive analysis across the marketing function
  
  

Desired Skills And Experience

• Engineering background (EE, ME, or related) with 1 years as a design engineer or applications engineer in industrial automation or motion control preferred
• 1 years of product management or product marketing experience - application engineering experience considered
• Strong written and presentation skills - comfortable creating technical content and presenting to global OEM audiences
• Self-starter who can own a space, set priorities, and operate with minimal structure in a lean, high-impact team environment
• Motion control or precision automation experience a plus
• Hands-on with AI tools for content, research, or competitive intelligence a bonus
