Senior Technical Project Manager em Lisboa, Portugal

Senior Technical Project Manager – Autonomous Systems | Relocation to Abu Dhabi

We’re hiring several Senior Technical Project Managers for a government-backed deep-tech organisation in Abu Dhabi, leading complex engineering programmes across autonomous systems, robotics and advanced technology.

The role will take ownership of programmes from development and prototype through testing, industrialisation, production and deployment .

You’ll be responsible for:

• Budget, schedule, risk and delivery
• Multidisciplinary engineering teams across hardware and software
• Suppliers, procurement and technical dependencies
• Moving complex systems from R&D into production-ready delivery

Relevant backgrounds include:

• USV / ASV / UUV / AUV / ROV systems
• Robotics, UAVs, UGVs or defence platforms
• Aerospace, advanced manufacturing or industrialisation
• Complex hardware/software systems integration
• C2, mission planning, digital twin or mission systems

This is not an enterprise IT, business applications or digital transformation PM role. Pure software or infrastructure delivery without a physical hardware component is not a fit.

Relocation support is available for successful candidates.

If you’ve led the delivery of complex physical engineering systems and are comfortable operating across hardware, software, suppliers and production, I’d be happy to share more details.
