• Design, manage, and deliver high-impact Proof of Concepts and client demonstrators that clearly showcase the value, performance, and scalability of our systems.

• Collaborate closely with engineering teams to translate ambiguous operational challenges into concrete prototype requirements and working solutions.

• Act as the bridge between engineering, Go-to-Market teams, and external partners to align technical feasibility with client objectives.

• Lead or support client engagements by demonstrating working software and hardware prototypes that solve real operational challenges.

• Drive the rapid development of demonstrators that balance speed-to-deployment with meaningful functionality.

• Help shape the early-stage product roadmap by capturing insights from customer interactions, demonstrations, and prototype deployments.

Qualifications:
• B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Engineering, Computer Science, Business, or equivalent practical experience in technical product management or consulting.

• 3+ years of experience delivering complex technical products, MVPs, or Proof of Concepts from concept to deployment.

• Experience working closely with both engineering teams and commercial or Go-to-Market stakeholders.

• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Experience in defense, robotics, aerospace, or a similarly complex hardware-adjacent technology sector is a plus.

• Familiarity with defense procurement processes or NATO environments is a plus.

• German language skills at C1 level or higher are a plus.

• Willingness to travel up to 25% within Germany and internationally.
