Job description

At Delian, we build technology that has to work when it matters most. Osiris, our GPS-denied navigation product, is at the heart of that mission, and we're looking for an Engineering Program Manager to lead it from the lab to the field.

In this role you'll get to:

  • Drive field operations and customer integrations end to end, from kickoff through successful deployment.
  • Partner closely with software and supply chain teams to align priorities, surface risks early, and keep schedules on track.
  • Ensure the right hardware, software, and people come together at the right time, every time.
  • Bring clarity to complex, fast-moving programs and communicate crisply with engineers, leadership, and customers.
  • Travel regularly to client sites and lead hands-on problem solving on the ground.

What we're looking for

  • Proven experience managing engineering programs involving hardware and software integration.
  • A track record of delivering in dynamic environments with competing priorities.
  • Exceptional work ethic, a bias for action, and a deep sense of ownership.
  • Strong communication skills and the confidence to lead cross-functional teams.
  • Willingness to travel frequently to customer sites.
  • Experience with UAVs is a strong plus.

Location: Athens, with regular travel to client sites.

About Delian

We live under a new world order. To protect Europe and its allies we're building a new defense prime. One tailored for the era of autonomous warfare. While building for the future, our culture emulates the defense industry's roots: mass scale; operational excellence; execution speed; rapid technology adoption. To strive for this we combine expertise in autonomy, electronic warfare and rapid manufacturing. Paired with young, passionate and mission driven engineering and technical talent. We have offices in London, Kyiv, and Athens.

Why work at Delian Alliance Industries

  • Mission-driven: Directly contribute to European defence and security at a time of existential threats. Systems are deployed operationally 24/7 – you’ll see real-world impact.
  • Rapid engineering iteration: Prototype-to-field in weeks; hardware, software, and manufacturing all in one Athens location allows tight feedback loops.
  • Top-tier team: Work alongside alumni from Apple, Meta, Uber, LinkedIn, Stanford, McKinsey, and NATO defence – a blend of big-tech engineering rigour and defence operational realism.
  • Growth trajectory: 88% headcount growth YoY; Series A-funded with strong government demand; opportunity to shape a fast-scaling organisation.
  • Flexible locations: Offices in Athens (HQ), London (HQ for UK), and Kyiv – with a mix of hybrid/office presence depending on role. Candidates must be eligible to work in either London or Athens.
  • Culture: Builders who care about speed, field reliability, and operational deployment. Emphasis on autonomy, not bureaucracy. Engineers directly own hardware-in-the-loop testing and real customer deployments.
  • Perks: Involvement in cutting-edge autonomy research (GNSS-denied navigation, sensor fusion) with academic citation impact. Ability to travel to field sites (borders, ranges, Ukraine) for hands-on deployment.
