What is your experience with product engineers?

Question

Hi there,I recently bumped into a job posting for a Product Engineer role [1]This is the first time I hear about this role.I am curious to hear from people with real-world experience with this kind of role.Does it address the recurring issue of PMs and engineers not always getting along very well? or engineers feeling too remote from the customer?Keen to hear thoughts.[1] https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/Ashby/f99c1c4a-07f5-42fa-987e-de9a93f945dd?embed=js

I am a software engineer at a commercial HVAC company (system controls and building automation systems), and the product engineers here are the smartest people in the building, in my opinion. Very customer - focused people that know the tech inside and out and how it's applied in the field.
