SRT Marine Systems plc (SRT) are a market leader in its domain of international marine surveillance technology and systems. We are respected, established and an ambitious multi-national company headquartered in the UK with a global customer base.

The company has a global impact in the marine domain by leading the next generation of Maritime Domain Awareness 'MDA' technologies, products and systems that significantly enhance, security, safety and environment protection and sustainability.

  • Lead customer workshops, demonstrations, discovery sessions and bid support for USV enabled solutions
  • Own the USV roadmap, including supplier evaluations, pilots, field trials, platform integrations and repeatable delivery packages
  • Work across product, engineering, delivery, commercial, legal and operations to turn strategy into deployed customer capability
  • Build internal knowledge of UxV operating models, regulatory considerations, through-life costs, safety cases and support requirements

Experience - USV Product Manager (not exhaustive):

  • ESSENTIAL - Significant experience in uncrewed systems, autonomous systems, defence technology, maritime systems, aerospace, robotics or a closely related field
  • ESSENTIAL - Strong understanding of the USV supplier market, vehicle architectures, payload options, autonomy stacks, communications links and mission software
  • Product or capability leadership experience, including strategy, roadmap ownership, requirements definition and business case development
  • Ability to turn ambiguous customer needs into structured product decisions, system-level requirements and practical delivery plans
  • Good understanding of maritime surveillance missions such as border security, EEZ monitoring, illegal fishing, port security, ISR and critical infrastructure protection
  • Familiarity with sensor payloads such as radar, EO/IR, AIS, sonar, RF detection, acoustic systems or other maritime intelligence sources
  • Enough systems-engineering literacy to assess integration feasibility, interface dependencies and supplier claims credibly
  • Commercially aware, with experience evaluating suppliers and assessing cost models
  • Confident customer-facing communicator who can work with senior stakeholders, operational users, technical teams and external partners

Benefits

  • Private healthcare package
