Project Manager - R&D

In the fast-growing small satellite market, we are looking for a project manager to strengthen the R&D department. You will be involved in technology development projects for smallsat systems. This can be both satellite- and ground-based equipment. In this international and dedicated team, you are responsible for the success of the project, and for coordinating teams at every stage of the project life-cycle. You work closely together with engineers, partners, and stakeholders, to deliver on time, within scope and within budget, balancing between technical- and stakeholder management.

Specific tasks and responsibilities include:

• Setting up and controlling the planning, milestones, costs, and scope (including making reports).

• Coordinating and managing the engineering team, equipment and access to facilities on a daily basis.

• Maintaining the relationship with stakeholders both within and outside ISISPACE.

• Creating comprehensive project documentation and taking an active role in maintaining it.

• You have a degree in a relevant subject.

• 5+ years of experience with complex technical systems, including experience with project management.

• Good understanding of the needs of complex technology development. You should have an interest in technology itself and why technology development is important for an engineering organization.

• Excellent and straightforward communication skills including the ability to translate complex information into easy-to-understand language.

• Energetic team player who can engage with both the engineering team as well as other stakeholders.

• A forward-looking and solution-driven work ethic whilst maintaining an eye for detail.

• Solid organizational skills

Bonus points if you also bring:

• Experience with projects combining electronic and mechanical aspects, even better if this is in the space industry.

• IPMA, PMBOK or PRINCE II certification.

• Experience working with a wide variety of stakeholders, including both commercial and institutional customers.

• Interest in engaging with the wider space industry through conferences and technical forums.

Why should you join us?

We bring together a team of dedicated people from all over the world that are fun and pleasant to work with. We are a very down to earth organization while at the same time being a global leader in the field of nanosatellites.

We greatly encourage new ideas and are open to suggestions from all employees on how to make ISISPACE a better company. Depending on your own interest and qualifications, you can have a career in technology, either as a specialist or a generalist. Alternatively, there are opportunities in a managerial or project management role.
