Technical Project Manager – Humanoid Robotics (m/f/d)

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

As Technical Project Manager you will own the full delivery of one or more customer projects within our Synapticon Intelligence service business - from initial scoping through integration, safety certification and handover. You report directly to the Head of Synapticon Intelligence and work within a multidisciplinary scrum team alongside other PMs and specialists across hardware, software, functional safety and systems engineering.

HERE'S WHERE YOU MAKE AN IMPACT

• Own end-to-end project delivery: scope, schedule, budget, milestones, risk, and customer sign-off
• Serve as the primary point of contact for EU and US customers - calls, written communication, deliverables review, payment coordination
• Coordinate with suppliers and third-party service providers (hardware, certification bodies incl. TÜV, external engineering)
• Navigate a matrix organisation: drive execution through a shared scrum team without direct line authority over engineers
• Track and communicate project status across all stakeholders - internally, externally, and at management level
• Support commercial aspects: scope changes, time & material tracking, invoicing triggers
• Travel to customer sites in Europe and the US as needed

WHO YOU ARE

• 5+ years of hands-on robotics experience - you've built AMRs, humanoids, or similarly complex mechatronic systems
• Deep familiarity with robotics system integration: actuators, drives, sensors, middleware (ROS/ROS2 a strong plus)
• Solid understanding of functional safety (ISO 13849, IEC 62061, FSoE) and what it takes to get a safety-rated system through certification
• 3+ years of project management experience, ideally in a customer-facing technical services or product engineering context
• Experience managing suppliers, external contractors, and cross-functional development teams
• Clear, confident communicator - able to translate between customer requirements and engineering constraints
• Fluent in German and English (both written and spoken); other languages a plus
• Comfortable with ambiguity and comfortable pushing for clarity when needed

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

• A warm, international team that truly enjoys working together
• Plenty of creative freedom and the opportunity to make a real impact
• Flexible working hours and hybrid work options
• Short decision-making paths, flat hierarchies, and open communication
• Professional development opportunities and exciting projects
• 30 days of paid vacation
• Full-time position (40 hours/week) with a permanent contract
• Company pension scheme through Dyno
• Flexible working hours when life takes unexpected turns
• Company-supported gym memberships through Wellpass
• A company-sponsored health program (WLP app, regular physical activities, nutritional coaching, and more)
• Job bike program to support a healthy commute (optional)
• Birthday vouchers
• Snacks and fresh fruit for all employees, plus breakfast every Monday
• Free drinks and coffee, of course
• Regular global team-building events such as bootcamps, ski trips, and summer BBQs - spouses and children are warmly invited to Friday BBQ events
• Modern office spaces
