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.
