Engineering Project Manager - English Speaking (m/f/d)

As an Engineering Project Manager (EPM), you will lead and coordinate cross-functional R&D teams (including Hardware, Firmware, Systems Engineering and external suppliers) to ensure the successful delivery of complex technical projects from concept to mass production. This role requires a solid background in hardware R&D. You must be able to deeply engage in technical discussions, anticipate engineering risks, and drive project milestones while meeting quality, cost, and schedule targets.

• End-to-End Project Management: Manage the full product development lifecycle, specifically driving hardware development phases (EVT, DVT, PVT). Establish detailed project plans, milestones, critical paths, and delivery schedules.
• Technical Alignment & Coordination: Leverage your hardware engineering background to bridge communication between Hardware (HW), Firmware (FW), Systems/Software (SE) teams and external partners/suppliers, ensuring technical alignment and eliminating bottlenecks.
• Risk & Issue Management: Proactively identify potential technical risks in schematic design, PCB layout, component selection, and prototype testing. Lead the team to implement effective mitigation plans and resolve engineering blockers quickly.
• Resource & Cost Control: Optimize project resource allocation (including FTE planning), monitor R&D budgets, and track Bill of Materials (BOM) costs to ensure cost-effective project execution.
• Stakeholder Reporting: Prepare and deliver clear project status reports to senior management and external partners/clients, highlighting key milestones, technical challenges, and proposed solutions.

• Bachelor’s degree or above in Electronic Engineering, Telecommunications, Automation, Computer Science, or a related STEM field.
• Hands-on experience as a Hardware R&D Engineer, with strong knowledge of electronic circuit design, PCB layouts, component selection, and hardware testing.
• Several years of project management (PM/EPM) experience in electronics, smart devices, or integrated hardware/software products. Proven experience in driving products through New Product Introduction (NPI) to mass production is highly preferred.
• Ability to communicate fluently with HW, FW, and SE teams at a deep technical level and confidently interpret technical specifications and architecture.
• Strong professional English communication skills (both written and verbal) for drafting business emails and collaborating with multinational teams or global clients.
• Exceptional teamwork, crisis management, and stress-tolerance skills, combined with sharp analytical and structured thinking.

• Flat hierarchies, direct communication, and a backbone of integrity, courage, responsibility.
• A fast-moving environment where momentum is not lost in approval loops.
• Collaborate with colleagues and customers across countries, industries, and perspectives.
• A workplace shaped by technology, curiosity, and continuous improvement.
• Challenges with scale, depth, and enough complexity to keep you learning.
