Introduction

Last Mile Semiconductor GmbH, a Dresden-based deep-tech startup, is developing the next generation of energy-efficient wireless connectivity solutions based on the new DECT NR+ standard.

Your Responsibilities:

In this role, you will be independently responsible for planning, coordinating, and managing challenging research and development projects. You will combine project management, grant administration, and financial controlling to ensure that technical goals, financial planning, and formal requirements are reliably aligned.

In doing so, you’ll work closely with our technical project management team, the relevant departments, and our finance department. While the technical project management team is responsible for the technical implementation, your focus will be on cross-functional project management, grant management, financial transparency, and reporting to senior management. You’ll become part of a growing deep-tech company where processes aren’t just carried out—they’re collaboratively refined. Your experience will help us professionally expand our project management, controlling, and reporting structures.

Independent planning, coordination, and management of national and international research and development projects
Responsibility for budget, schedule, and resource planning, as well as for ongoing project controlling
Monitoring project progress, milestones, work packages, and funding requirements
Early identification of risks, deviations, and areas requiring action, as well as the implementation of appropriate measures
Preparation of forecasts, target-actual analyses, plans, and management reports
Regular reporting on project status, budget trends, and key risks to senior management
Preparation of decision-making documentation and relevant KPIs for managing our project portfolio

Responsibility for grant management, including funding requests, statements of expenditure, record-keeping, and processing of additional claims

Communicating and coordinating with project sponsors, funding agencies, consortium partners, and other external stakeholders

Coordinating collaboration between technical project management, the finance department, internal departments, and external project partners

Ensuring complete, traceable, and audit-ready project documentation

Continuously optimizing our project management, grant controlling, and reporting processes

Helping to establish scalable structures for multiple concurrent research and development projects

Occasional participation in meetings with project partners and funding agencies

At least 5 years of relevant professional experience in project management, project controlling, or grant management
Experience independently managing projects with responsibility for budgets, timelines, and resources
Proficiency in grant law and grant administration, particularly regarding funding requests, statements of expenditure, record-keeping, and facts relevant to grants
Practical experience with the entire grant lifecycle—from planning and application submission to audit-ready reporting and processing of additional claims
Experience in communicating and negotiating with project organizers, funding agencies, consortium partners, and executive management
Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to reconcile differing interests in a structured manner
High degree of personal responsibility, decision-making ability, and commitment
Very good command of German at a minimum C2 level or native-level proficiency in spoken and written German
Very good English skills at a minimum C1 level or native-level proficiency in spoken and written English

Experience with German funding programs such as BMBF, BMWE, state funding, or ZIM
Proficiency in handling grant award letters, AZK applications, fixed asset accounting, and eligible costs
Experience with EU collaborative projects, particularly Horizon Europe, MSCA, or EIC
Knowledge of Part A/Part B logic and experience with consortium agreements
Experience with large-scale funding instruments or those involving complex state aid regulations
Experience in the semiconductor industry, microelectronics, or chip development
Understanding of typical firmware, embedded software, or hardware development projects
Familiarity with contractual and commercial aspects of the semiconductor industry, such as NRE costs, licensing models, milestone payments, or IP licensing agreements
Experience with project management and controlling tools such as MS Project, Jira, Confluence, or Smartsheet
Certification in project management, such as PMP, PRINCE2, or IPMA
Experience in establishing or further developing PM, controlling, and reporting structures in a startup or scale-up environment

Creative freedom & responsibility

Plenty of creative freedom and genuine ownership instead of micromanagement
Short decision-making paths and direct influence on strategic decisions
A tangible contribution to the success of our product and company
The opportunity to play a key role in a growing deep-tech company
Contributing to a technology that can transform the future of wireless communication

Employer contribution toward the Deutschlandticket or DVB Jobticket in the amount of €55.10 per month
Alternatively, an employer contribution toward the JobRad of €54.90 per month
Unlimited free gym access right in the building
Company pension plan with a €100 monthly employer contribution

Hybrid work with a high degree of flexibility
Modern hardware and professional work tools
Bright, modern office spaces in a central location in Dresden
