Technical Project Manager Lifecycle – Relocate from Portugal to Eindhoven Porto

Are you an experienced Technical Project Manager based in Portugal and ready to take the next step in your international career? For a leading high-tech engineering and manufacturing company in the Eindhoven region, Xelvin is looking for a Technical Project Manager Lifecycle Management who wants to relocate to the Netherlands.

In this role, you are not only managing timelines, resources and deliverables. You take long-term ownership of complex technical products and guide them through their complete lifecycle: from new product introduction and ramp-up to maturity, continuous improvement and end-of-life.

You will work in a high-tech environment where hardware, software, engineering and manufacturing come together. Your decisions directly impact product performance, cost, quality, manufacturability, supply robustness and long-term customer success.

What you will do

As Technical Project Manager Lifecycle Management, you will guide products from introduction to maturity and eventually phase-out. You will make sure lifecycle phases are managed in a structured, predictable and data-driven way.

Your responsibilities include:

• Taking ownership of a product or product group across its full lifecycle: NPI, ramp-up, sustain and end-of-life.
• Leading a dedicated product team and coordinating activities across multiple disciplines.
• Driving improvements in quality, manufacturability, cost performance and supply robustness.
• Managing timelines, resources, risks and budgets to ensure stable and predictable product performance.
• Leading cross-functional collaboration between R&D, operations, supply chain, industrialization, quality, hardware and software teams.
• Coordinating engineering changes, redesigns and lifecycle optimizations.
• Managing lifecycle planning, roadmaps, stage-gate processes and gate reviews.
• Balancing trade-offs between performance, cost, lead time, availability and long-term reliability.
• Identifying technical, supply chain and cost-related risks and proactively mitigating them.
• Working closely with customers and internal stakeholders on long-term product strategy.
• Creating structure, ownership and accountability within multidisciplinary teams.
