Project Manager

Our client is a European deep-tech startup developing next generation radar systems for the detection and tracking of small, low flying drones.

The team works across radar architecture, RF hardware, signal processing, embedded systems and data processing software. This is a fast moving R&D environment where strong project management is critical. Your role is to bring structure to complexity, align engineering teams, remove friction from execution and help turn ambitious technical development into clear and predictable progress. You will contribute to building products designed for real world deployment and shaping the future architecture of security and defence.

The Role:

We are looking for a Project Manager to own the coordination of the product development process, from concept and technical requirements through prototyping, testing, certification and preparation for manufacturing. The product combines RF chains, antennas, electronics, embedded systems, signal processing, software and mechanical design. Multiple engineering streams run in parallel and depend heavily on each other.

You will work directly with founders, technical leads, engineers and external contractors. Your role is to bring structure to a complex R&D environment, keep teams aligned and make sure the project moves forward.

Responsibilities:

Manage multiple R&D workstreams, define milestones, timelines and priorities

Coordinate RF, Hardware, Embedded, Software and Mechanical teams

Translate product goals into clear project plans together with founders and technical leads

Manage dependencies between antennas, RF chains, electronics, mechanics, software and embedded systems

Coordinate external engineers, manufacturers, laboratories and technical contractors

Track execution, identify risks, blockers and bottlenecks early and drive their resolution

Maintain clear project documentation, roadmaps and task tracking in Jira and Confluence

Coordinate with procurement, manufacturing, testing partners and other stakeholders

Support the transition from engineering prototypes to stable product configurations

Requirements:

3+ years of experience in Project Management, preferably in a product, engineering or R&D environment

Experience managing technical or engineering projects

Strong understanding of Project Management principles and practical execution

Experience with Jira and Confluence

Ability to manage multiple parallel workstreams, dependencies and priorities

Strong problem solving and risk management skills

Clear and effective communication with technical and non technical stakeholders

Ability to drive execution without micromanagement

Strong ownership and leadership mindset

Professional English is required

Nice to Have:

Experience with Hardware, Embedded, Electronics, IoT, Robotics, Telecom or other R&D products

Understanding of the electronic product development cycle from requirements and prototyping through testing, certification and manufacturing

Basic understanding of electronics, RF, wireless technologies or embedded systems

Experience working with Hardware and Firmware teams

Experience with manufacturers, suppliers or engineering contractors

Technical or engineering education

Strong interest in electronics and complex technology products
