• Coordinate cross-functional project teams, facilitate daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives to drive on-time delivery and resolve blockers
• Monitor project budgets, control costs, and manage change requests; conduct regular status reviews and reporting to stakeholders using metrics like earned value management (EVM) or burndown charts
• Ensure compliance with industry standards (e.g., ISO, safety regulations for robotics), quality assurance processes, and post-project evaluations to capture lessons learned and improve future executions
• Oversee integration of project deliverables with client environments, including field trials, deployment phasing, and handover to operations/support teams

The ideal profile should have:

• Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or Electrical/Electronics (wireless focus) or equivalent
• 3+ years in product management for tech-related products
