Senior Technical Project Manager – Autonomous Systems | Relocation to Abu Dhabi
We’re hiring several Senior Technical Project Managers for a government-backed deep-tech organisation in Abu Dhabi, leading complex engineering programmes across autonomous systems, robotics and advanced technology.
These are hands-on R&D roles, leading programmes from early concept and prototype through testing, validation and deployment. You will work closely with scientists, engineers, suppliers and senior stakeholders, taking ownership of scope, schedule, budget, risk and delivery.
What we are looking for
You will have led complex engineering or R&D programmes end to end, ideally within one or more of the following:
Unmanned maritime systems — USV, UUV, AUV, ROV
Aerospace, UAV or defence systems
Robotics and autonomous platforms
Space or satellite programmes
Naval, subsea or advanced engineering environments
Marine experience is valuable but not essential. Strong candidates from adjacent autonomy sectors are equally relevant.
The key requirement is strong technical stakeholder management — aligning multidisciplinary engineering teams, suppliers, government or defence stakeholders and senior leadership in environments where priorities and requirements can change quickly.
Industrialisation experience is useful, but not mandatory. What matters most is a track record of delivering technically demanding programmes in complex R&D settings.
Candidates of all nationalities are welcome to apply. Roles are subject to security clearance eligibility.
If you have led complex autonomous, defence, robotics, aerospace or advanced engineering programmes and would consider relocating to Abu Dhabi, please send your CV to Renay Sahadeo at Morpheus Talent or message me directly.
