Technical Project Manager (Ethernet Switch Design)

Job Title: Technical Project Manager – Ethernet Switch Design (Industrial / Railway Systems)

Employment Type: Contract

Location: Neckartenzlingen, Germany (Hybrid- Must willing to travel to Stuttgart when needed)

Role:

We’re looking for a senior technical profile with hands-on experience in industrial Ethernet switch development to drive the execution of next-generation products.

This is not a pure Product Owner role . You’ll take real technical ownership, translating needs into requirements and coordinating hardware, firmware, and system teams across Germany and offshore locations.

Must-Have:

• Strong hands-on experience with Ethernet switch design (industrial or railway context)
• Background in hardware / embedded systems development
• Experience working with industrial Ethernet switches (managed or unmanaged)
• Exposure to certification and standards (e.g. EN 50155, CE, FCC, UL)
• Understanding of real-world constraints:
• Thermal & power design
• Product variants & industrialization
• Cost / BOM / Design-to-CoGS
• Proven ability to coordinate and lead technical teams
• Comfortable working in international and multicultural environments
• Fluent English: German is a strong plus

If you have built or led industrial Ethernet switch products and enjoy driving delivery, we want to talk to you - regardless of your current job title.
