Silentium Defence is continuing to grow, and we are looking for an experienced Product Development Manager to help shape and deliver our next generation of advanced technology products that protect those who matter.
This is a pivotal opportunity to lead products through full development journey — from early concept and design, through to production, deployment and continuous improvement.
You will work across engineering, production, commercial and customer-facing teams to ensure ideas are translated into practical, high-quality capability that meets customer expectations, contractual requirements and business priorities.
If you enjoy bringing structure to complex technical environments, driving delivery outcomes and working closely with talented teams to turn innovation into real-world impact, this role offers you an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution.
What You’ll Be Doing
About You
You bring strong leadership experience in product management and product development, with a proven track record of managing products from inception through to production.
You are experienced in applying engineering principles and structured problem‑solving methods across complex, multidisciplinary environments, working seamlessly across software, electronics and mechanical domains, including full system integration.
You have a strong command of engineering governance and design approval processes, alongside hands‑on experience developing and managing project schedules, budgets, configuration management and change control.
You are comfortable leading subcontractors, influencing senior stakeholders and driving alignment to deliver outcomes, with demonstrated success taking concepts through design, validation and into manufacturing at scale.
You are degree‑qualified as an Engineer in an electronic, systems or mechanical discipline and bring a practical, delivery‑focused mindset to building products that perform in the real world.
