At AJProTech, a single product rarely lives in one discipline. A wearable, an IoT sensor, or an AI-enabled device is a stack of mechanical design, electronics, firmware, and software that has to converge on one schedule, one budget, and one manufacturable design. Our engineers work across the US and Asia, our customers are primarily in the US, and our supply chain runs through China and Taiwan. We are looking for a Technical Project Manager based in Western or Central Europe to hold that stack together and drive projects from the first customer call to production.
About the Role
This role is built around your time zone. In winter, 9:00 in Central Europe is 16:00 in Taipei and Shenzhen, and 18:00 in Central Europe is 9:00 in Los Angeles. That puts you in the overlap with both ends of the project on the same day.
Mornings go to vendors and the engineering team in Taiwan and China: component availability, PCBA and tooling status, sample shipments. Evenings go to Zoom calls with US customers: design reviews, project updates, and decisions that need their sign-off. Issues raised in Asia in the morning can reach the customer the same evening, and customer feedback is in the hands of the Asia team at the start of their next working day.
You will own engineering projects that combine Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Software Development. Your job is to translate what the customer needs into a technical plan, keep a cross-functional team moving against it, and carry the product through prototyping into production.
Key Responsibilities
Product and Requirements
- Own the product on the engineering side: understand what the customer actually needs and turn it into a technical proposal that fits the time and budget.
- Manage project requirements across the full product lifecycle, from concept through production.
- Prepare architectural proposals for devices and software.
- Develop UI concepts.
Engineering Execution
- Coordinate cross-functional teams of electrical engineers, software developers, mechanical engineers, and designers.
- Manage technical and schedule risk, and steer the project to meet deadlines and budgets.
- Prepare customer presentations and regular project updates.
Sourcing, Production, and Supply Chain
- Purchase components and identify off-the-shelf solutions that shorten development.
- Manage vendors and coordinate external suppliers with internal teams through production.
- Run the supply chain for components and parts: shipments, tracking, and cross-border logistics.
Qualifications
- Located in Western or Central Europe
- Strong background in product engineering, electrical or mechanical engineering, or software development
- Track record of coordinating geographically distributed technical teams and leading projects to completion
- A working mix of engineering depth and interpersonal skills: you can review a design trade-off with an engineer in the morning and explain its cost and schedule impact to a customer in the evening
- Fluent, native-level English
Nice to Have
- Mandarin, for direct communication with vendors and engineering teams in Taiwan and China
