Technical Project Manager - Drone Swarm Systems
Munich (DEU)
Full-time
Permanent employee
What we offer
Your mission
Join Autonomous Teaming Solutions and help build next-generation drone swarm technology for demanding real-world environments. You will take technical ownership of a mission-critical product, driving it from architecture and development through deployment and delivery.
Working closely with product leadership, you will translate customer and operational requirements into technical strategy, define the engineering roadmap and ensure the team delivers against both technical and business goals.
This is a role for technical engineering leaders. You should bring deep hands-on expertise, strong system understanding and the ability to lead by example.

This is a role for technical engineering leaders. You should bring deep hands-on expertise, strong system understanding and the ability to lead by example.
- Own the technical vision and architecture of our drone swarm product.
- Act as the technical counterpart to the Program Director and drive engineering execution across the program.
- Translate operational and customer requirements into technical goals and engineering milestones.
- Define the technical roadmap and drive execution from concept through deployment.
- Make key technical decisions across autonomy, robotics, distributed systems and UAV software.
- Lead by example through hands-on engineering, debugging and system integration.
- Guide and mentor a multidisciplinary engineering team.
- Balance fast execution with long-term technical and product scalability.
- Identify technical risks and work closely with the Program Director and CTO on solutions.
Your profile
- At least 5–6 years of experience building robotics, autonomous, distributed or real-time systems.
- Strong hands-on software engineering background, ideally with C++, Linux and Python.
- Deep understanding of system architecture and complex interconnected systems.
- Experience taking technical products from concept through deployment.
- Proven technical leadership built on engineering expertise rather than project management alone.
- Strong ownership mindset and ability to make pragmatic technical decisions under uncertainty.
- Ability to connect engineering priorities with product, customer and business goals.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to align and motivate engineering teams.
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where execution matters more than process.
Nice to have
- Experience with autonomous drones, multi-agent systems or swarm robotics.
- Experience with ROS 2, PX4 or similar robotics and UAV technologies.
- Experience with distributed systems, networking or vehicle communications.
- Experience with embedded or edge computing platforms.
- Background in defence, aerospace or safety-critical systems.
What else
- Citizenship of a NATO member country or close ally.
- Willingness to work onsite in Munich and to travel.
Why us?
- Take senior technical ownership of cutting-edge autonomous drone swarm technology.
- Work directly with the Program Director and CTO to shape the product.
- Build and scale technology with direct real-world impact.
- Stay hands-on while shaping architecture and engineering strategy.
- Work on real autonomous systems, not just concepts or simulations.
- Join a team that values deep technical expertise, ownership and fast execution.
Über uns
Wer wir sind: ein Start-up der Verteidigungstechnologie, das sich auf Lösungen für die industrielle Bildverarbeitung spezialisiert hat. Wenn Sie eine Leidenschaft für bahnbrechende Innovationen haben und Ihre Fähigkeiten einsetzen möchten, um Lösungen der nächsten Generation zu entwickeln, ist dies eine Chance für Sie!
Was wir tun: Wir entwickeln Lösungen, die es Computern und Sensoren ermöglichen, in Teams zusammenzuarbeiten, um neue Sicherheitsherausforderungen zu bewältigen. Unsere Hauptaufgabe ist die Abwehr von KI-gestützten asymmetrischen Bedrohungen in großem Maßstab, wie z. B. Drohnenschwärme und andere UXVs.
Wie wir arbeiten: Wir setzen auf eine hybride Arbeitskultur - wir schätzen die Zusammenarbeit im Büro, ermöglichen unseren Teammitgliedern aber auch die eigenverantwortliche und selbstständige Arbeit aus der Ferne.
Wo wir sind: Mit Sitz in München, Berlin und Toulouse expandieren wir schnell in ganz Europa und planen, bald weitere Büros zu eröffnen.
