Jobbeschreibung

Are you good at keeping track of technical details, schedules, and decisions?

Fusion Bionic is a deep tech company based in Dresden. We develop laser-based machines and modules for industrial surface functionalization. Our technology creates micro- and nanostructures on surfaces—for applications in glass, photovoltaics, semiconductors, and industry.

For our mechanical engineering and material handling projects, we are looking for a project manager who can actively steer technical projects. Someone who can keep project plans, tasks, risks, resources, and pending decisions under control. And who understands that a project succeeds not because everyone works hard, but because it is clear what is important, who is working on what, and where decisions need to be made in a timely manner.

Your tasks

You will plan, manage, and coordinate mechanical engineering and conveyor projects in collaboration with the respective project managers. In doing so, you will ensure that project goals, deadlines, resources, tasks, risks, and dependencies are transparent and actively tracked.

You create and maintain project plans, milestones, task lists, status reports, risk assessments, and decision lists. You identify early on when deadlines, resources, costs, or project objectives are falling behind schedule, and prepare for decisions or escalations.

You will coordinate communication between mechanical, electrical, and software engineering, procurement, finance, management, suppliers, customers, and project partners. In doing so, you will track which commitments have been made, which issues remain unresolved, and how changes affect deadlines, costs, scope, or documentation.

In mechanical engineering projects, you will be responsible for managing interfaces, delivery dates, change orders, acceptance procedures, outstanding items, technical documentation, and project handoffs.

For funded projects, you’ll keep track of work packages, milestones, reporting requirements, funding requests, supporting documentation, receipts, and audit records. You’ll ensure that technical activities, costs, and supporting documentation are accurately assigned to the respective project.

You will also prepare for project meetings, document decisions, and follow up on actions taken.

What you bring to the table

You have a college degree in a technical, business, or project-related field, technical or business training with relevant experience, or a comparable qualification.

You have experience in project management, project oversight, or the coordination of technical projects. Ideally, you have hands‑on experience with mechanical engineering, plant engineering, custom machine building, development, or conveyor projects.

You work in a structured, reliable, and forward‑thinking manner. You can manage multiple tasks simultaneously, consolidate information from various departments, and maintain a clear overview even when technical requirements, schedules, budgets, and resources don’t naturally align.

You are naturally comfortable using project management tools, task management, schedules, and status reports. You don’t use these tools as an end in themselves, but rather to keep projects on track and ensure transparency.

Project plans, task lists, status reports, risk tracking, and decision templates aren’t just red tape to you—they’re tools that really help move projects forward.

You don’t have to figure out the technical details on your own—but you should understand the technical context, ask the right questions, and recognize when an open issue becomes a real project risk.

You are fluent in spoken and written German. Your English should be sufficient for technical documentation, project communication, and grant applications.

It would also be nice if

• Experience with publicly funded projects, such as those funded by the SAB, BMBF, BMWK, or the EU, as well as knowledge of mechanical engineering, custom machine building, plant engineering, or technical product development.
• Experience with ERP, PLM, or documentation systems, supplier coordination, change management, risk tracking, FAT/SAT, technical documentation, budget tracking, or audits is also helpful.

What to expect

You can expect challenging high‑tech projects, short lines of communication, an interdisciplinary team, and tasks where organization, commitment, and proactive thinking really matter.

Not just a matter of keeping minutes. Not project management that consists solely of fancy Gantt charts. Rather, projects in which technology, funding, resources, deadlines, and documentation must be seamlessly integrated.

You are not the technical project leader, and you don’t make every technical decision yourself. But you ensure that it is clear in a timely manner what decision is needed, who needs to make it, and what its implications are.

Interested?

We look forward to receiving your application.
