As Orbital Systems Programme Manager, you will own the end-to-end delivery of one of deltaVision's space programmes. You will be the single point of accountability for schedule, budget, scope and risk, and deltaVision's primary interface to partners, subcontractors and customers.
Working alongside our Orbital Systems architects and technical domain leads, you will keep a programme on track — from early phase through delivery. Your responsibilities:
Own the programme baseline: schedule, cost, scope, work-package structure and critical path across all phases
Run the programme control cycle — planning, milestone and gate management, earned-value tracking, risk and opportunity management, change control, and progress reporting to internal and external stakeholders
Act as deltaVision's primary interface to consortium partners, coordinating cross-organisation dependencies, interfaces and deliverables
Manage the customer and authority relationship for your programme, including reviews, milestone acceptance and contractual deliverables
Lead internal programme execution across the contributing domains (systems engineering, hardware, and test), keeping teams aligned to plan
Own subcontractor and supplier management within the programme scope: statements of work, NDAs, negotiation, monitoring and delivery
Drive preparation and defence of programme reviews (SRR/PDR/CDR-class) and lead the associated documentation and data-package readiness
Flag strategic dependencies and resource conflicts early, across programme and company priorities
Ensure compliance with ECSS project-management, configuration and quality requirements
Support related bid and proposal activity, contributing programmatics, planning and cost inputs
Your profile
5+ years as a programme or project manager for spacecraft or spacecraft subsystems, with demonstrated end-to-end delivery ownership

About us
We are deltaVision GmbH – a young, ambitious high-tech company based in Munich, driving the future of in-space mobility and infrastructure.
Since our founding in 2022, we have been developing, manufacturing, and qualifying advanced fluid control systems for the aerospace industry and H₂ aviation. Our expertise spans cryogenic and high-pressure propulsion systems as well as next-generation orbital refueling technologies, including couplers and fully integrated refueling systems designed for the harsh environment of space.
With our deep knowledge of fluid control for space systems, we are shaping the space economy towards refuelable and reusable spacecraft. We enable longer mission lifetimes, greater operational flexibility, and entirely new architectures for sustainable space operations.
What sets us apart?
Innovative products enabling next-generation space infrastructure
Exceptional cost efficiency through optimized design and manufacturing
Rapid development and delivery cycles beyond traditional industry standards
We are rethinking spaceflight — enabling a future where spacecraft are not disposable, but reusable, refuelable, and built to operate sustainably in orbit.
