Technical Project Engineer UAV Systems

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

An engineer who takes ownership. Not a coordinator, not a status reporter — someone who stays in the technical trenches and uses project management to accelerate execution. You own two things, end-to-end: timeline visibility and project communication.

Tasks

YOUR MISSION

• Build and maintain Gantt-based project timelines track progress, dependencies, and slippage with precision. No surprises, ever.
• Own all project communication from feasibility through series production. Keep R&D, product, and operations permanently in sync.
• Work directly with engineers to understand risks, blockers, and trade-offs not just relay them.
• Translate between engineering detail and cross-team clarity. Make complexity readable for every stakeholder.
• Define and enforce a clear documentation and communication structure across the full project lifecycle.
• Drive accountability on scope, priorities, and timing. Be the person who keeps everyone honest and acts on it.

Requirements

YOUR PROFILE

• Engineering degree in mechanical, electrical, systems engineering, aerospace, or a comparable technical field, the technical foundation is non-negotiable.
• first years of experience in a technical role with growing project responsibility. Whether you're an experienced individual contributor stepping into TPM or already have dedicated project lead experience we want to hear from you.
• Exposure to the defence, aerospace, or security sector is a strong plus. You understand the operational reality, the stakes, and the pace that comes with it.
• Proven ownership of project timelines and cross-functional communication you've been the one accountable for delivery, not just a contributor to it.
• You fix coordination problems yourself instead of escalating them. You eliminate friction, don't just flag it.
• Clear, direct communicator under pressure, proactive by default, precise when it matters most.

NICE TO HAVE

• Hands-on experience with complex electromechanical systems, UAVs, robotics, automotive, or defence electronics.
• Experience at the interface of R&D, product, and operations in a hardware or prototype-to-production environment.
• Familiarity with external development partners, contract manufacturers, or supplier management.
