Senior Product Manager, Unmanned Systems

What we’re looking for

We are looking for a highly driven and experienced Senior Product Manager to own, shape, and advance the product strategy for our unmanned systems portfolio. In this role, you will be responsible for defining requirements, driving roadmap execution, and aligning engineering, business development, and customer stakeholders across complex, multi-year programs. This is a leadership role where you will directly influence how our products are built, positioned, and fielded – ensuring that every system we deliver meets the speed, reliability, and mission-critical standards our defense and security customers depend on.

The day-to-day

• Product Strategy & Roadmap: You own strategy and roadmap for our UxV portfolio. Not as a process manager, but as the driving force.
• Requirements & Prioritization: You define requirements together with Engineering, Business Development, and customers – and say no to good ideas to protect the great ones.
• Technology & Innovation: You drive the integration of the latest defense technologies and proactively explore new solution spaces with engineering teams.
• Market & Strategy: You build deep understanding of the defense unmanned systems market and shape company strategy with your expertise.
• Customer Engagement: Together with Business Development and Training, you guide the full customer cycle, from initial ideation through procurement approval.
• External Representation: You represent our products at conferences, in whitepapers, and during exercises and industry events.

You should apply if you

• Bring 5+ years of experience in technical product management in safety-critical, unmanned, or robotic systems across the full product lifecycle
• Hold a degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics, Systems Engineering, or equivalent – Bachelor's minimum, Master's preferred
• Understand the defense domain: you know military and environmental qualification standards for unmanned systems
• Have driven complex, multi-year programs across Engineering, business development, and customers – and know when to say no
• Translate highly technical material into clear value propositions for both engineering and executive audiences
• Speak both English and German fluently

Nice to haves

• Defense product background, experience developing or operating unmanned systems
• Certification experience in dual-use or safety-critical qualification processes
• Advanced degree: Master's or higher in Engineering, ML/AI, Robotics, or a related field

What we offer

• Real impact & ownership: Shape high-tech defense systems and take responsibility from day one
• Mission-driven environment: Work on technologies that matter for European security and sovereignty
• Competitive package: Competitive salary, EGYM Wellpass, corporate benefits, and equity options aligned with role and level
• Deep tech environment: Get hands-on experience with cutting-edge drone technology and real operational use cases
• Grow fast: Steep learning curve for juniors, strategic influence and leadership opportunities for seniors
• Startup mindset meets defence innovation: flat hierarchies, fast decisions, and space for your ideas.
