Product Manager

🔍 What we are looking for

The Product Team at Smartex is driving the transformation of the textile industry through AI-powered fabric inspection. Our mission is to help manufacturers reduce waste, improve margins, and enable Digital Quality Control at scale: building a world where every meter of fabric is inspected automatically and intelligently.

As we scale, we are looking for a Product Manager to turn strategy into execution and measurable impact across our AI, hardware, and software ecosystem. We’re seeking a motivated and impact-driven professional with 3–6+ years of Product Management experience (preferably in B2B SaaS, AI, deep-tech, or industrial environments). This is a high-impact role in a fast-growing deep-tech startup, ideal for someone who thrives in clarity, autonomy, and execution.
