About Swiftstrike
Swiftstrike is a Swedish defence-technology company. We build hardware and the
AI software that runs it — from edge to command. Our products are developed with
experienced operators and refined through real-world field testing, and everything
we build is designed to be cost-effective at scale and priced for fielding in numbers.
The role
Swiftstrike delivers integrated systems — hardware, software, and the trials that
prove them — to defence organisations, system integrators, and partners across
NATO and allied nations. As our Technical Project Manager, you will run these
delivery programmes end to end: planning milestones across mechanical, electronics,
and software teams, coordinating with customers and partners, and getting systems
and people to field trials on time.
This is a technical role: you read schematics and system diagrams as readily as
plans. You will sit between the engineering team and customers who need certainty,
and keep both sides informed.
What you'll do
- Own delivery programmes from contract to field acceptance, spanning hardware, software, and integration work.
- Plan and drive milestones across engineering disciplines, and manage the dependencies between them.
- Be the technical counterpart for customers, integrators, and partner companies across NATO and allied nations.
- Own requirements management and configuration control — what was promised, what was built, what was delivered.
- Plan and run the logistics of field trials and demonstrations: equipment, permits, sites, people.
- Manage supplier and partner commitments feeding into programme timelines.
- Turn operator and customer feedback into a prioritised roadmap together with the engineering team.
- Track risk and communicate status honestly — inside the company and out.
What we're looking for
- An engineering background (degree or equivalent) — you can hold your own in deep technical discussions.
- 5+ years managing projects that combined hardware and software delivery, ideally toward demanding industrial or government customers.
- Proven ability to plan across disciplines: mechanics, electronics, software, and test.
- Excellent written and spoken communication — you translate between engineers, operators, and procurement.
- Enough process to be reliable, without unnecessary bureaucracy.
- Willingness to travel within Europe for customer meetings and field trials.
- Professional fluency in English.
Nice to have
- Experience from the armed forces, the defence industry, or defence procurement processes.
- Experience combining agile engineering work with milestone-based customer contracts.
- Swedish language skills.
What we offer
- The programmes you run put protective systems in the hands of people who need them.
- Ownership of delivery in a small, senior team — you define how Swiftstrike ships.
- Direct exposure to customers, operators, and field trials across NATO and allied nations.
- An office in Stockholm, and work at the centre of Europe's defence build-up.
Given the nature of our work, employment may be subject to a security review and
to citizenship or residency requirements applicable to Swedish defence industry.
We will discuss this openly during the process.
