Job description
Project Manager – Hardware & Software Product Development
Fully on-site
We are working with an innovative technology company that is developing integrated hardware and software products designed to enable smarter, faster, and more connected systems. As they move toward the commercial launch of their first product and continue expanding their engineering capabilities, we are helping them recruit a hands-on Project Manager to lead the end-to-end delivery of complex, multi-disciplinary development efforts.
This is a high-impact opportunity to join a fast-paced, growing organisation and take full ownership of product development projects from concept through to commercial release. You’ll collaborate with skilled teams across hardware design, embedded systems, software tools, and testing to bring new technology products to life.
Focused on building cutting-edge products that seamlessly integrate hardware and software. With a growing team and active product development in progress, they are strengthening their project leadership function to ensure smooth execution, efficient collaboration, and alignment with strategic goals.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment and has experience managing hardware and software development in parallel. You will oversee complex, multi-phase projects involving hardware modules, embedded firmware, software tools, and supporting infrastructure, including evaluation platforms and product documentation.
Working closely with the engineering leads, you will drive execution across the full product lifecycle—from planning and prototyping to validation, release, and post-launch support. You will also contribute to the development of lightweight, scalable processes that support delivery without slowing down innovation.
