pAs Destinus scales its vehicle programmes, we are looking for a dedicated Technical Project Manager to own execution across the full vehicle development stack - from propulsion and structures through avionics integration, ground support equipment, and qualification. This frees our engineers to focus on technical depth and our team leads on strategic leadership. /ppAs one of the first hires in this group, you will manage a programme and help build the PM structure itself alongside team leads and fellow TPMs. You own execution - schedule, cross-disciplinary coordination, risk, and delivery. The engineers run the technical depth; you run the programme. /ph3bWhat You’ll Do /b /h3ulliOwn end-to-end execution of vehicle-level and subsystem product development programmes - from kick-off through hardware build, test campaigns, qualification, and delivery /liliBuild and maintain programme plans spanning propulsion, structures, avionics, systems engineering, manufacturing, procurement, and regulatory dependencies; identify and resolve critical path risks early /liliRun programme reviews and cross-functional coordination meetings; keep decisions documented and actions closed /liliWork closely with engineering leads across disciplines to track technical progress and translate it into clear programme status /liliCoordinate system integration activities - ensuring interfaces between subsystems (propulsion, structures, avionics, GSE) are managed, dependencies tracked, and integration milestones owned /liliManage external dependencies: supplier lead times, test facility scheduling, regulatory submissions, and customer milestones /liliProactively flag scope creep, resource conflicts, and schedule risk to leadership - with options, not just problems /liliContribute to building the PM structure, tools, and ways of working for the department alongside team leads and fellow TPMs /li /ulpBachelor’s or Master’s degree in aerospace, mechanical, systems, or a related engineering discipline /pulli5-8 years in a hardware-heavy development environment; at least 2 in a project management, programme coordination, or technical lead role - career PMs without hardware exposure will not be considered /liliBackground in aerospace, defence, or a similarly regulated hardware domain; familiarity with vehicle-level or system-level development and qualification cycles is essential /liliExperience managing cross-disciplinary programmes spanning multiple engineering domains (structures, propulsion, avionics, or similar) is a strong advantage /liliAble to manage multiple concurrent projects across engineering, manufacturing, procurement, and testing /liliStrong systems thinking - able to see the full picture, spot where the hard problems are likely to sit, and know when to dive into detail without losing the overall programme /liliStrong planning skills - able to build a programme schedule from scratch, identify critical path, and keep it current /liliComfortable building structure in an ambiguous environment; pragmatic over bureaucratic /liliClear, direct communicator in English; German is an advantage /li /ul #J-18808-Ljbffr
