Job description

Ready to lead your own squad of brilliant engineers while shaping the future of smart manufacturing

This is your cue. 😉

At Polysense, we’re not just building software — we’re automating factories, supercharging quality control with AI, and connecting the dots between hardware, software, and business impact. We’re growing fast, and we need a AI Project Manager/Squad Lead to take ownership of some of our most exciting projects. Think: leading a squad of tech wizards, keeping multiple high-impact projects on track, and building real solutions that make real things move.

You’ll be the one holding the compass. 🧭 From kick-off to go-live, you’ll make sure everything runs smoothly, on time, and up to Polysense high standards.

💼 What you’ll be doing

  • Act as Single Point of Contact for clients: calls, mails, standups, updates

  • Lead your squad across multiple simultaneous projects (yep, you can handle it)

  • Translate customer needs into solid requirements & planning

  • Run kick-offs, weekly standups with the clients, and internal tech huddles

  • Own the day-to-day delivery of smart manufacturing solutions

  • Coordinate hardware & software: from sensors to APIs

  • Spot upsell opportunities and present them like a pro

🧠 What you bring

  • 2+ years of experience in a tech leadership role - you’re a natural leader with strong people skills.

  • 1.5+ years in system integration, industrial automation, or professional services

  • Strong understanding of:

    • MES, ERP, and production technologies

    • Networking, IoT, and hardware integration

    • AI, computer vision, and image-based inspection

    • APIs, databases, and software architecture

  • Familiar with software architecture best practices (security, scalability, performance)

  • Experienced in managing technical teams and projects

  • Able to challenge engineers, keep momentum, and recognize when “done” really means done

  • Excellent communicator – clear, concise, and fluent in both tech and business language

  • Skilled at aligning stakeholders and translating complex tech into plain English

Bonus points if you…

  • Have experience in the food industry or regulated manufacturing

  • Have a master in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field

  • Have worked in a startup or scale-up before? Even better.
