Project Manager Portugal (m/f/d)
(Stellen-ID: 2517)
Role description
You don't manage processes - you own results. In this role, you take full responsibility for international development projects, always keeping the product as a whole in focus. You bring solid technical knowledge across hardware, software, and quality - not as a specialist, but as someone who understands how everything connects, can assess what they're being told, and knows exactly when and where to push back. You think in systems: you understand how hardware, embedded software, quality, and production interact - and you immediately spot when one subsystem puts the whole product at risk.
Your responsibilities
- Full ownership of international development projects, working closely with development teams at our headquarters in Germany and our development site in China
- Leading cross-functional teams across hardware and software development, quality assurance, production, and product management
- System-level view of the overall product: analyzing interactions between development areas, identifying systemic risks, and ensuring all subsystems contribute to a working end product
- Critically evaluating progress reports, quality assessments, and technical dependencies across all project areas - always forming your own informed, independent judgement
- Proactive risk management: identifying project risks early, defining concrete measures, and following through until resolved
- Presenting project status, risks, and decision proposals at top management level - clearly, convincingly, and to the point
- Communicating effectively at every level: from engineers on the floor to the executive board - always with the right tone and the right level of detail
- Close collaboration with internal stakeholders from development, quality, production, and marketing, as well as external partners
What we offer
- A ground-floor opportunity to shape how project management and quality are done at Testo Portugal - with real influence from day one
- An international working environment with flat hierarchies, short decision paths, and agile ways of working
- Real ownership and impact: Your decisions directly affect the products our customers worldwide rely on
- Competitive remuneration and a comprehensive benefits package
- A dynamic, forward-thinking organisation where your ideas are heard
Your profile
- Degree in a technical field (e.g. mechanical engineering, mechatronics, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, or similar)
- Several years of experience as a project manager in industry - specifically in hardware and software development projects, ideally with a background in embedded software; purely organizational project management experience without a technical product focus is not sufficient
- Solid technical overview across all relevant engineering disciplines - you can assess, challenge, and independently evaluate input from development, quality, and production
- Systems thinking: you grasp complex technical relationships at product level, identify dependencies between subsystems, and maintain a clear view of the overall system even under pressure
- Experience with quality management systems and methods (e.g. QKT, FMEA, quality gates)
- Strong risk awareness and proven experience in structured risk management for complex development projects
- Excellent communication skills across all levels - from technical discussions with engineers to presentations at board level, always striking the right tone
- Structured, pragmatic, and self-driven working style with the confidence to push things forward
- Fluent English is a must (international project environment)
