Darum lohnt es sich

WHAT WE OFFER • High level of autonomy & real impact: You own a critical seam in the business - between what we sell and what we build. • Startup mindset meets aerospace innovation: Flat hierarchies, fast decisions, and space for your ideas. • Choose your own benefit: Germany ticket, Egym Wellpass, or a tax-free Give Card. • Healthy & social lunch culture: Fresh meals during shared lunch breaks. • Stunning views: Rooftop terrace with views of the Alps in Taufkirchen, or indoor garden in Garching-Hochbrück. • Growth opportunities: Work on technically demanding projects with real stakes. • We live our team culture: From tech talks to team events and after-work gatherings - we celebrate success together.

A great product that misses the customer is a failed product. You make sure that never happens. You own market-fit for our portfolio (e.g. Launch, or Satellites).

You don't just write requirements - you make sure the right product gets built, for the right reasons, every time. • the segment's customer needs , applications , and competitive landscape are understood before they become a surprise • every product idea is tested for feasibility and market -fit before a single resource is committed • qualified products keep performing in the field - and if they don't , you already have the next move ready You don't manage a roadmap.

You own a market.

Your tasks in detail and by priority: • Maintain a current, first-hand picture of customer needs, applications, and the competitive landscape in your segment: You engage directly with the market - whether through customer conversations, input from Sales, or your own research - and you know when a desk is enough and when it isn't. → High Performance: Stay current .

Stay sharp. No stale assumptions . • Translate customer needs into clear product requirements and a sequenced roadmap with gate milestones: The roadmap is jointly owned with Strategy and Engineering - you stress-test it, you don't rubber-stamp it. → Accountability : Own the roadmap .

No vague requirements , no unmanaged surprises . • Turn every product idea - from R&D, market opportunity, or customer request - into a structured concept brief, run feasibility checks with engineering, and pitch it to the Product Committee: → Togetherness : Built with Engineering and BD, decided as a committee - never alone . • Write and own the PRD, define functional gate exit criteria, and decide on spec changes when requirements are changing: You're informed when a gate is missed and step in fast when the requirement itself has to change. → Candor : Flag it early .

Decide it fast. No silent drift . • Identify new product opportunities or addressable market segments that become viable as new technologies mature - and decide which ones are worth pursuing. R&D doesn't push technology on you - you pull it when it's ready . → Accountability : You decide .

You own the call . • Review field-insight reports monthly with the Product Owner and feed learnings into the next product generation: → Candor : Real field signal , not filtered good news . • Bring genuine curiosity and energy to your segment: You enjoy the breadth of trade shows , customer dialogue , and new product ideas as much as the depth of a well- built roadmap . → Playfulness : Curiosity is part of the job , not a distraction from it.

YOUR PROFILE • Master's degree in Industrial / Mechanical / Electrical / Aerospace Engineering, Business Administration, or a related field.

If your background is technical, you bring commercial experience too - and vice versa. • 3-5+ years of experience, ideally as a Product Manager, Product Owner, Product Designer, or Program/Project Manager. • Structured, strategic thinking with strong analytical rigor - you can prioritize under ambiguity and make decisions without complete information. • Strong communication skills and customer empathy - you're comfortable as the external face of your segment. • Technical fluency - able to meet engineers at eye level without owning the design yourself. • Daily user of AI tools, with a genuine interest in experimenting with new workflows. • Comfortable with breadth across many topics rather than depth in one. • You speak English fluently; German is a plus for day-to-day collaboration but not a must-have. • Nice-to-have: experience in the space industry or with COPVs. • Nice-to-have: start-up or VC background.
