Our RF communication systems are Made in Germany, deployed on active frontlines, and targeting a €5B European tactical communication market with zero sovereign alternatives today. <br><br>We are now looking for a Technical Program Manager who takes full technical ownership of our product delivery — from customer requirements to shipped product. <br><br>This is not only a coordination role. You drive. You decide. You deliver. <br><br>You will be the operational backbone of our engineering organization — owning the bridge between customer requirements, product definition, technical architecture, and development execution. Our current focus is our RF communication module family for unmanned systems, in serial production and scaling fast. You work directly with our Technical Architects, Head of Engineering and CTO, and serve as the primary technical interface to customer-facing stakeholders. You lead without disciplinary authority, which means your impact comes from clarity, credibility, and momentum."
