This is a genuinely technical Project Manager role, overseeing a hardware and embedded software product through its full lifecycle – from concept and requirements, through validation and production readiness, to launch.

• Confident engaging directly with customers and cross-functional engineering teams
• Experience with ASPICE and/or automotive product development is a nice-to-have, not essential
• Experience with Jira and Confluence is useful

Working Pattern: 1-2 days per week onsite in Belfast, or week on / week off
