Senior Technical Project Manager R&D

As Senior Project Manager R&D, you will lead the execution of innovative, challenging R&D projects that bring our next-generation metrology solutions to market. Working closely with our R&D team, you enable a multi-disciplinary group spanning hardware, software, and algorithm development to deliver against an ambitious roadmap. Your role is pivotal in ensuring our technology meets customer performance requirements and delivery timelines — and you do this through structure, clear planning, and strong cross-functional leadership rather than deep domain expertise. You'll support the R&D Manager, who drives the overall technology roadmap.

What you're going to do

You will lead end-to-end R&D projects from concept through prototype and validation, all the way to productization readiness. You build and maintain detailed project plans, timelines, resource allocation, deliverables, risk; and you keep a complex, cross-functional team moving even when the path isn't fully defined yet.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Leading end-to-end R&D projects, from concept through prototype and validation to productization.
• Developing and maintaining detailed project plans, including timelines, resource allocation, deliverables, and risk management.
• Coordinating cross-functional project teams spanning multiple engineering disciplines.
• Driving alignment between technical development and customer or market requirements, in collaboration with product marketing.
• Working with product development programs, design & engineering, and systems engineering to deliver what's needed for productization.
• Monitoring progress against milestones and budget, escalating issues early and driving them to resolution.
• Ensuring projects comply with relevant quality and regulatory standards.
• Acting as a key liaison between R&D, Product Marketing, Systems Engineering, and Design & Engineering.
• Continuously improving how we plan and run projects, in a fast-moving, precision-focused environment.

Who you'll be working with

You will work closely with the R&D Manager and a multi-disciplinary engineering team, alongside Product Marketing, Systems Engineering, and Design & Engineering. You'll be the connective tissue between technical development and the customer and business requirements it needs to serve, building trust and alignment across teams, often without a formal reporting line to draw on.
