This opportunity places you at the heart of a growing deep-tech company that is building advanced optical and semiconductor-based systems. The business is a venture-backed hardware startup focused on next-generation optical technology for high-precision manufacturing uses, and it is running active grant-supported programmes alongside external foundry partnerships and ambitious expansion plans. The role is designed for someone who can bring structure, coordination, and clear communication to technically complex work without overcomplicating the process.<\/p>\n

As Technical Project Manager, you will work closely with technical leaders, engineering teams, and outside partners to keep multiple research and development workstreams aligned and progressing. You will provide the operational backbone for programme delivery, helping ensure that plans are realistic, milestones are tracked, risks are visible, and reporting is handled properly across the business.<\/p>\n

What you will do<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Coordinate and oversee complex R&D programmes spanning internal engineering teams and external partners.<\/li>\n
  • Create, update, and maintain programme plans, milestone schedules, RAID logs, and delivery timelines.<\/li>\n
  • Support the reporting, review meetings, and compliance requirements associated with grant-funded work.<\/li>\n
  • Manage communication and coordination with foundries, commercial collaborators, and research organisations.<\/li>\n
  • Provide concise and useful programme updates for investors and senior leadership.<\/li>\n
  • Track dependencies, risks, and changing priorities in a startup environment where plans can shift quickly.<\/li>\n
  • Act as a central point of operational coordination between technical and commercial stakeholders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What the company is looking for<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Experience managing technically demanding hardware, deep-tech, or advanced engineering projects.<\/li>\n
    • Previous exposure to VC-backed startups, scale-ups, or advanced R&D settings.<\/li>\n
    • Understanding of grant-funded programmes and the structured reporting processes they require.<\/li>\n
    • Strong communication skills and the ability to work across both technical and commercial teams.<\/li>\n
    • Useful knowledge of semiconductor, photonics, or foundry-led development environments.<\/li>\n
    • A recognised project management qualification such as PRINCE2, or something similar.<\/li>\n
    • The ability to bring order and clarity to complex programmes while remaining practical and adaptable.<\/li>\n
    • Comfort working in a small, ambitious team where you may have significant responsibility and visibility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      What is on offer<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • A salary of up to \u00c2\u00a365,000.<\/li>\n
      • The chance to join the business at a genuinely exciting stage of growth.<\/li>\n
      • Strong visibility across the organisation and real ownership of delivery.<\/li>\n
      • Equity participation.<\/li>\n
      • The opportunity to work alongside a small engineering team tackling difficult real-world technical challenges.<\/li>\n
      • A role based in Edinburgh, Scotland.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
