About the role

We are looking for a Technical Programme Manager (m/f/d) who thrives at the intersection of engineering rigour, operational complexity, and process governance. You will be responsible in designing and building the programme infrastructure, across engineering teams and operational stakeholders alike.

You will connect geographically distributed teams in the UK, Germany, and Ukraine, ensuring field reality reaches the central product organisation in Germany in a form that enables prioritisation, and that commitments back to the field are realistic, visible, and delivered. You bring clarity where there is ambiguity, structure where there is noise, and accountability where there are gaps.

To Join Our Team, You Should Be Excited To

• Design and implement programme processes from scratch, for engineering teams, product stakeholders, and mission operations
• Establish and enforce a Jira-based operating model across engineering and programme activities, including ticket standards, workflow structures, and the definition of "done" at every level
• Own and police deliverable gates, define readiness criteria for milestones, releases, and exercise deployments, and hold the line; nothing passes without verified evidence of completion
• Challenge and return incomplete engineering artefacts , tickets, test notes, handover documentation that do not meet the required standard
• Build a repeatable process for planning, tracking, and closing out exercises and demonstrations, from pre-event readiness gates through on-site execution to post-event feedback capture
• Structure and manage feedback loops from multi-customer field exercises into prioritised, traceable product inputs for the central product team in Germany
• Distinguish clearly between integration-level changes that can be handled locally and product-level changes requiring central prioritisation, and govern that boundary rigorously
• Own integrated master schedules, dependencies, and critical path across hardware, software, and integration workstreams; resolve blockers and course-correct fast
• Translate operational needs, field feedback, and engineering detail into structured, testable requirements with unambiguous acceptance criteria and full traceability
• Manage a living risk register and run programme ceremonies, risk reviews, change control, and executive readouts with clear action-oriented communication

Your Profile

• Proven experience leading complex, technical programmes in defence, robotics, autonomy, automotive, or an adjacent regulated domain
• Ability to build programme or engineering processes from scratch, not just operating within existing frameworks
• Track record of fielding systems in mission-critical environments with mastery of schedule, scope, and execution under pressure
• Known for turning ambiguous, noisy, real-world inputs into clear, actionable, decision-ready outputs
• Comfortable being the person who says "this isn't ready" and can defend that position with evidence, you hold the line without losing the room
• Experienced in getting engineers to produce better, more detailed work through standards that make sense and consequences that are real
• Experience with operational or field-facing stakeholders or equivalent on live event planning and readiness management
• Strong working knowledge of Jira or equivalent as a programme and engineering management tool, you can design workflows, not just use them
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field desirable, a technical background is desirable but the curiosity and the ability to know which questions to ask and when whilst engaging with senior engineers is essential
• Willingness to travel within EU, especially Germany
• Excellent English is a must; German is a plus
• Eligibility to work in the UK is required

Benefits & Perks

• Competitive salary and benefits package
• A shaping role in an emerging dual-use company
• Opportunity to work with a highly innovative, international, and dynamic team
• Room for professional growth and development
• Participation in the company's success, with access to regular events, knowledge exchange and meetups

About the role

We are seeking a Systems Owner to lead end-to-end system definition and architectural integrity across advanced defence capabilities in the era of land of autonomy warfare. This is an accountable systems ownership role with full lifecycle responsibility across robotics systems.You will translate business development strategy, operational intent, and product roadmaps into coherent, traceable, and technically robust system baselines. You will ensure the complete V-Model is structurally followed, from stakeholder need and system architecture definition through integration, verification, validation, and operational feedback.This role operates at the intersection of product strategy, engineering delivery (HW and SW), and operational capability.

To join our team, you should be excited to

• Translate operational capability ambitions into rigorous system architectures with KPIs and targets definition
• Architect resilient, networked defence systems within Operational Design Domains
• Work across ISR, Recce-Strike, counter-UAS, autonomy, and distributed battlefield systems

• Define and manage interfaces across sensors, decisions, effectors and network elements.
• Resolve architectural tensions across hardware, software, and communications
• Shape system design decisions early to reduce downstream integration risk
• Participate in demos and exercises to incorporate real-world constraints
• Contribute to digital engineering and model-based systems practices
• Establish best-in-class end to end systems ownership in a rapidly evolving defence landscape
• Own system definition across the full lifecycle
• Decompose operational concepts and product intent into structured, verifiable and clear system requirements
• Define and control functional, logical, and physical system architectures
• Maintain bidirectional traceability from stakeholder need to verification evidence
• Govern interfaces, dependencies, and integration risks across subsystems
• Integrate hardware, software, communications, networks, safety, and quality into a coherent system view
• Support field activities and trials to ensure engineering decisions reflect operational reality

Your Profile

• Deep understanding of the V-Model lifecycle and end-to-end systems engineering practice
• Strong capability in stakeholder requirement decomposition, system specification, and formalisation from strategic and operational inputs

• Hands-on experience with requirements management tools (IBM DOORS, Polarion, Systems Weaver; Jama a plus)
• Experience in systems of systems, mission threads, and use cases
• Proven ownership of functional, logical, and physical system architectures
• Strong understanding of network architectures, communications protocols, data flows, and latency constraints
• Management of subsystem dependencies and integration sequencing across hardware and software domains
• Experience with distributed and autonomy-enabled systems
