Technical Project Manager

About the roleImagine this you are at the center of some of the most advanced autonomy projects in aviation, turning complex ideas into real systems that fly, decide, and operate in the real world. You take ownership of high impact initiatives, align teams moving at different speeds, and make sure nothing slips through the cracks. This is not about managing from a distance, this is about being in the middle of the action, driving execution where it matters mostAt Destinus, we are shaping the future of defense through high-speed, autonomous flight technologies. We develop next-generation unmanned aerial systems that deliver greater speed, precision, and efficiency, supporting governments and defense organizations in mission-critical operations worldwide.Daedalean AG, the AI and autonomy hub of the Destinus Group, plays a key role in this vision. Developing safety-critical AI systems at the intersection of advanced research and real-world aviation. Enabling machines to perceive, understand, and make decisions in real time.Together, we combine aerospace engineering and artificial intelligence to build the next generation of autonomous flight systems, driving innovation where it matters most.What You´ll DoTake full ownership of complex cross-team programs, turning ambitious ideas into structured and executable plans Partner closely with technical leads and product teams to translate evolving initiatives into clear, actionable roadmaps Drive execution by tracking progress in real time, managing dependencies, and removing roadblocks before they impact delivery Build strong, trust-based relationships across engineering, product, and external partners while holding everyone accountable to their commitments Jump into the details when needed, reviewing requirements or implementing simple technical solutions to maintain momentum Navigate ambiguity with confidence, making decisions that keep projects aligned and moving forward Help shape and elevate the TPM practice by improving tools, processes, and ways of working across DaedaleanRequirementsWhat You’ll NeedProven experience delivering complex technical projects on time, balancing both financial and engineering constraints Strong background managing cross-functional teams, including external partners such as contractors and suppliers Experience in aviation environments with exposure to certification processes such as PDR, CDR, and SOI stages Solid understanding of project management methodologies with the ability to adapt them in fast-moving environments Technical degree that allows you to engage deeply with engineering topics and challenge decisions when needed Data-driven mindset combined with a hands-on approach to execution Who You AreYou thrive in fast-paced environments where ambiguity is part of the challenge and you naturally turn it into clarity.
