The posting

What we offer

In this important and responsible management role, you will have the opportunity to own a decisive part in shaping the success of our complex products by coordinating high professional tech teams.

Your mission

You will transform our R&D engineering organization into a high-performing product and delivery organization. You will define and set the development strategy, orchestrate the engineering teams (software, hardware, AI), and own the responsibility for product planning and delivery. In close cooperation with the CTO, you translate the technical vision and market needs into the organization. You will ensure smooth collaboration across tech teams and at cross-functional interfaces, aligned with operational excellence, thereby establishing a repeatable process from prototype to market readiness to delivery.

Your responsibilities in detail

  • End-to-end ownership of product development of our two main product lines – across hardware and software domains
  • Leading and developing program managers and technical leads
  • Optimizing the product development process for scalability (roadmaps, milestones, agile stage-gates, time-to-market)
  • Orchestrating cross-functional technical teams in different locations, resolving dependencies between product lines, and leveraging synergies by centralizing relevant functions for all teams (e.g., DevOps, QM)
  • Managing resources, capacity, and priorities across teams related to an efficient product development
  • Providing transparent reporting to the CTO and the whole management on progress, feasibility, risks, and trade-offs, and coordinating the future strategy
  • Building an engineering organization capable of scaling up (scale-up readiness)
  • Stakeholder management

  • Ideally, you spent the first few years of your career in a leading management consultancy working on projects with a strong technical focus

Experience

  • Proven successful operational leadership experience in a comparable role (VP Engineering, Head of Product Development, or similar) at a VC-funded hardware and software / engineering scale-up operating in an international context
  • Ideally, you have worked for a company that you have already guided through at least one growth phase (Series A/B+) in a similar technical role
  • Proven experience of bringing technical products and solutions from scratch to market readiness, through all the ups and downs
  • Proficient in building complex products step by step
  • Experience in managing parallel product lines and teams with overlaps and interdependencies
  • Confident in technical communication with the engineering team, drawing on their own hands-on technical background
  • Understanding of modern engineering processes and scaled agile frameworks
  • Very good understanding of system integration (robotics, software, hardware, camera, sensors)

Leadership

  • Leadership experience as a ‘Leader of Leaders’ (Program Manager, Team Leads)
  • Distinctive servant leadership qualities: forward-thinking and entrepreneurial mindset, strong analytical skills, data-driven, operational view of the big picture, people-focused, excellent communicator bridging technical depth and management level

Personality

  • Agile engineering mindset and strong co-creator
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and the ability to drive priorities forward convincingly, even when everything seems equally important
  • Ability to prioritize clearly and make trade-off decisions in the face of uncertainty and resource constraints
  • Ownership at its highest level: taking end-to-end responsibility for results, not just for processes
  • Beginner's mindset and first-principles thinking
  • A recognized sparring partner for the CTO

Nice to have

  • You have been a founder in a relevant, successful start-up previously
  • Experience in the fields of autonomy, AI perception, computer vision, and sensor fusion

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
