The Role

We’re seeking a highly proactive, detail-oriented Project Manager to join our core team.

- Provide on-site support for prototyping quality validation and logistics.
- Ensure all deliverables meet the project's goals, scope, and standards through timely feedback and issue resolution.




- Systematize workflows: identify blockers, optimize processes, and implement tools that streamline collaboration and delivery.
- Maintain active, real-time communication with local team members to prevent delays.
- Use tools like ClickUp, Miro, and Google Drive to plan, track, and visualize progress.

Who You Are

- 5+ years experience in project management within product design, engineering, or hardware development.
- Based in or near Cádiz (or willing to relocate) with the ability to work onsite as needed.
- Background in industrial design, engineering, or product development—this is essential.
- Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes, hardware cycles, and prototyping workflows.
- Fluent in English; Spanish proficiency is a must for local communication.
- Comfortable with Agile/Lean principles and working in fast-paced environments.
- Able to take initiative, make independent decisions, and handle multiple projects simultaneously.
- Experienced with remote team collaboration, while maintaining strong local engagement.

What We Offer
