Technical Project Manager

We are looking for a candidate to help us synchronise the work over the different groups we have.

To learn about what we do and who does what, you initially will focus on internal projects involving scientists, s/w developers and testers. Later on you will be exposed to external projects involving engineering and moreover, external customers.

In this role you are not expected to do some in-detail Gantt chart tracking for each and every activity, but it is needed you understand dependencies, can make rough time lines, and find ways to develop / maintain momentum in a project.

Proactiveness is an important competence we seek: you will be needing to go around, and ask questions to get the answers you will need.

It is important you have a sound interest in technology (physics, electronics, software development, applications) without feeling the need to grasp all in detail yourself; you should act as an integrator for activities.
You are comfortable at dealing with customers, you are an easy communicator
You keep your eyes open for process improvements to avoid future rework, to speed up development, etc.
Preferred backgrounds: aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, electronics, physics, technical software development.
Minimum of 4 yrs of industrial experience
Education: BSc or MSc level
