About the Job

Company’s success depends on precise, proactive, and highly structured execution. This role ensures that our most critical initiatives — whether engineering changes, deliveries, or operational processes — move forward predictably and efficiently. Your ability to connect people, define accountability, and drive outcomes will directly impact mission readiness and organizational performance. 

What is your Day to Day Mission 

• Take full ownership of projects across the company’s UAV product portfolio, ensuring their timely and complete execution — from planning to delivery. 

• Proactively drive project progress by asking the right questions, identifying blockers, and keeping all stakeholders aligned. 

• Break down projects into clearly structured tasks and sub-tasks in Jira, with precise deadlines and responsible parties. 

• Monitor execution status across cross-functional teams (engineering, testing, production, product, service) and escalate issues where needed. 

• Coordinate multiple streams of work, including both strategic initiatives and small-scale operational tasks — with equal attention and care. 

• Ensure all contributors (internal and external) understand deliverables, timelines, and dependencies. 

• Prepare and maintain project timelines, charts, and reporting dashboards. 

• Act as the central point of communication for all project-related matters — aligning product, engineering, and field units. 

• Build and sustain effective collaboration with technical leads, system architects, and external partners, including military and governmental stakeholders. 

What you bring to the team 

• 4+ years of experience as a Project Manager or Technical Coordinator in a high-tech engineering environment (preferably UAV, aerospace, robotics, or defense). 

• Strong technical background with the ability to understand system-level dependencies and critical paths. 

• Proactive mindset with a hands-on approach — you take initiative, resolve ambiguity, and act before being asked. 

• Sharp focus on deadlines and ownership — you define them, track them, and hold teams accountable. 

• Proven experience managing both large and small-scale projects — with attention to detail on every level. 

• Expertise in Jira (epics, tasks, subtasks, linking, status flows) and experience structuring complex project boards. 

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English and Ukrainian. 

• Ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical teams alike. 

Additional assets for this role 

• Prior experience working on UAVs or aerospace/hardware development programs. 

• Existing network within defense, engineering, or product communities. 

• Familiarity with compliance, certification, or logistics for dual-use technologies.
