About this job

We are looking for an experienced Program manager to lead and coordinate Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) projects within our Defence & Security business unit in Delft.

In this role, you will drive the strategic direction of multiple projects that leverage space technologies and contribute to product development for Defence, Space, and Critical Infrastructure.

This position offers the opportunity to lead multidisciplinary teams, shape next-generation PNT technologies, and drive innovation in a dynamic, high-tech environment.
