(R0346900)

Thales in Germany is part of an internationally leading technology group in the defence and security, aerospace as well as cyber security and digital identity markets.

In Ulm you will encounter communications solutions for space missions and electrical satellite thrusters. This is the right place for you if you want to join us in developing travelling wave tube amplifiers which are in use in on board of most satellites where they take care of signal transmission to earth. Or do you get excited about environmentally friendly electrical propulsion units? Then you will join the Thales expert team for aerospace components facilitating a sustainable life on earth. We are happy to have you on board!

Your mission as Senior Bid & Project Manager:

Lead and manage R&D projects from the bid phase through qualification and into series production, ensuring compliance with contractual milestones, budgets, schedules and quality requirements

Take ownership of project management activities, including contract management, risk and opportunity management, and the implementation of mitigation measures to ensure successful project delivery

Act as the primary point of contact for customers, building and maintaining trusted relationships to ensure high levels of customer satisfaction

Lead, motivate and develop project teams while coordinating internal stakeholders across Engineering, Production, Supply Chain, Quality and Sales, as well as external partners and subcontractors

Independently manage medium-complexity bids and projects involving challenging technical, logistical, commercial and contractual requirements, ensuring effective cross-functional collaboration and project execution

We are looking forward to:

Successfully completed Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Mechanical Engineering, or a comparable qualification

Several years of professional experience in bid- and project management, ideally in new product development and the transition to serial production, including the associated qualification- and industrialization processes

Strong expertise in contract management and contract negotiations, ideally in the context of public tenders

Excellent technical understanding, a strong entrepreneurial and customer-oriented mindset, and the ability to grasp complex interrelationships, manage risks and project KPIs, and deliver results with a solution-oriented approach

Excellent written and spoken English skills; knowledge of German and/or French would be an advantage

The Group invests more than €4,5 billion per year in Research & Development in key areas, particularly for critical environments, such as Artificial Intelligence, cybersecurity, quantum and cloud technologies.

In 2025, the Group generated sales of €22.1 billion.

For our more than 85,000 employees in 65 countries we open up visionary perspectives, realise individual career paths and enable creative freedom.
