Excellent written communication. Comfortable challenging engineers, partners, and senior stakeholders when plans are unclear. Able to work in a small company where structure needs to be created, not inherited. Desirable Experience Semiconductors Edge AI Embedded systems Electronics design RF systems Sensors Telecoms Aerospace or defence technology Robotics Photonics Automotive electronics Cyber physical systems Hardware and software integration Low power systems Safety critical or reliability critical systems We value Programme Managers who are: Structured, practical, and direct. Do not hide behind project management process. You use it to make delivery clearer. Comfortable working with uncertainty, but do not tolerate vagueness. Know the difference between activity and progress. Can manage engineers without slowing them down. Can deal with funders and partners without letting the project become bureaucratic. Are commercially alert and understand that a CR&D project must create credibility, proof, and follow on options. Success in the role looks like Projects are delivered on time, on scope, and with clean reporting. Claims are submitted correctly and supported by proper evidence. Partners know what they own and by when. Risks are visible early, not discovered late. Technical teams are clear on priorities. Leadership has a reliable view of project status, budget, risk, and commercial value. Project outputs support demonstrators, paid pilots, customer conversations, or partner enabled delivery. CR&D work strengthens Novomorphic's Edge AI systems position. What this role is not This is not a pure admin PM role. This is not a research coordinator role. This is not a role for someone who only tracks tasks after engineers tell them what happened. This is not a role for someone who treats grant delivery as separate from commercial outcomes. Novomorphic's benefits package includes 28 days' annual leave plus bank holidays Salary sacrifice pension scheme Annual discretionary bonus scheme Life assurance Private medical insurance Additional benefits tailored to employee needs Location and Working Model This role is based in Cardiff, Wales. Working arrangements may vary depending on project and business requirements. Candidates must have the right to work in the UK or be eligible for sponsorship, where applicable.
