Company Overview

Red 6 is an innovative Augmented Reality (AR) technology startup leading the way in synthetic air combat training. Our primary technology, supporting our ATARS product, enables pilots to simulate the cognitive challenges of flying while accessing realistic, scalable training in dynamic outdoor environments.

The Role

We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead the strategy, development, and delivery of our training and operational products that support live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) flight training. This individual will shape the vision for human-interface products—spanning mission planning, cockpit execution, and visualization systems—and work cross-functionally with engineering, design, and leadership teams to deliver world-class experiences for military aviators.

This is a highly cross-functional role that blends software strategy, user experience design, and systems awareness. The ideal candidate combines technical, analytical, and creative thinking, balancing technical feasibility with aesthetic and usability excellence. You’ll work closely with test pilots, design, engineering, and test teams to ensure our software interfaces are not only functional and reliable, but also elegant and intuitive to use.

What You’ll Do

Cross-functional Leadership, Product Strategy, & Execution

  • Own the product vision and roadmap for training and operational visual experiences, balancing usability, technical performance, and integration goals.
  • Translate user needs into structured, testable software requirements.
  • Work closely with engineering, systems, design, test, test pilots, and company leadership to deliver high-quality, integrated software releases.
  • Prioritize development initiatives to maximize customer value and maintain alignment with long-term product goals.
  • Define and document product requirements (PRDs), user stories, and epics for engineering execution.
  • Define measurable success criteria for interface usability, reliability, and performance.
  • Report regularly to director and C-suite leadership on roadmap progress, priorities, and outcomes.
  • Identify new opportunities to expand Red 6’s product ecosystem.

Flight Training Planning and & Authoring Tools

  • Lead product development for pre-flight plan creation, system configuration, and post-flight playback tools that define user experiences and mission outcomes.
  • Partner with UI / UX and engineering teams to prioritize work, deliver assets, and guide execution through sprints and releases.
  • Represent user needs and product intent in technical discussions and trade-off decisions.
  • Unify the visual identity across Red 6’s product suite to reinforce a cohesive brand experience. Then, ensure ATARS training software and interface systems evolve together — reflecting real-world training requirements and pilot feedback.
  • Customer Discovery & Research → Customer Value & Remarkable User Experiences

  • Conduct discovery with internal and external pilots to deeply understand military aviation pilot use cases. Immerse yourself in the customer environment — attend briefs and debriefs, interview users, and synthesize insights into actionable requirements.
  • Establish feedback loops with test pilots, instructors, and developers to continuously improve realism, adaptability, and usability.
  • Develop a deep understanding of customer and end-user needs, representing the voice of the customer across the organization, Understand task flows, ergonomics, and cognitive workload.
  • Gather post-demo feedback and translate customer insights into actionable improvements.
  • Lead usability and functionality testing with pilots, shaping the R&D roadmap for visual and interactive features. Then, collaborate closely with UI / UX designers to develop intuitive software experiences that deliver world-class outcomes in complex, high-stakes environments.
  • Advocate for customer UX excellence across the organization. Champion simplicity, consistency, and usability throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Partner with design to deliver a modern, cohesive interaction experience aligned with the ATARS ecosystem.
  • Participate in key demonstrations with internal stakeholders and external customers.
