Product Manager (UGV)

Quantum Systems  next-generation unmanned solutions across air, land, and sea. From advanced aerial drones to underwater and ground platforms, our systems combine cutting-edge hardware with AI-driven software for seamless control and real-time data insights. Trusted by defense, security, and public sector clients worldwide, we redefine mission versatility and performance.

Quantum-Systems is a strong supporter of Ukraine and has it’s local Ukrainian office since 2022.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to lead the development of a universal unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) platform designed to perform a wide range of missions, leveraging real-world operational experience and a modern technology stack. 

The new platform is intended to address the most critical demands of the modern battlefield, ensuring effective operation under high-intensity usage, constrained logistics, and continuous adaptation to evolving mission scenarios. 

This role implies full ownership of the product — from requirements definition to scaling in production — taking into account the specifics of UGV system development, operation, and support.

This is a full-time office job. Candidates must be located in Kyiv.

What is your Day to Day Mission:

• Own the end-to-end product development lifecycle of a next-generation UGV platform under tight deadlines and high operational demands. 

• Gather, validate, and structure capability requirements through direct interaction with military users and other operational stakeholders. 

• Define, prioritize, and continuously refine the product backlog based on real-world use cases and field feedback. 

• Ensure the right balance between innovation, reliability, and scalability for production. 

• Work closely with engineering teams to translate product requirements into technical solutions. 

• Integrate maintainability, modularity, and field serviceability considerations from the earliest stages of development. 

• Align efforts across R&D, production, supply chain, and service/support functions. 

• Participate in product testing, analyze results, and drive rapid feedback loops into development. 

• Define and track key product metrics (performance, reliability, lifecycle, total cost of ownership). 

What you bring to the team:

• Proven hands-on experience in the development of UGVs or other ground robotic systems in a Product Manager or closely related product role. 

• Strong track record of end-to-end ownership of hardware products — from vision and requirements definition to production launch and operational deployment. 

• Deep understanding of UGV-specific challenges: mobility, terrain adaptability, power systems, reliability under harsh conditions, and environmental constraints. 

• Practical experience working with manufacturing: DFM/DFA, scaling, quality control, and managing trade-offs between cost, performance, and reliability. 

• Solid understanding of service, repair, and field support models, with the ability to incorporate these considerations into product design from early stages. 

• Experience working with cross-functional teams (mechanical, electronics, software) and the ability to prioritize effectively under uncertainty. 

• Strong stakeholder management skills, including direct interaction with end-users in operational or near-operational environments. 

• Ability to make decisions under time pressure, incomplete data, and rapidly changing requirements. 

• Fluent English (both written and spoken).
