Om jobbet
Silex Microsystems is looking for a passionate and driven Group Manager to lead one of our Product Development teams. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who’s willing to take the next step in their leadership career while working at the cutting edge of MEMS technology.
The Team
The Product Development team picks up where the Sales team leaves off, collaborating closely with clients to transform innovative ideas into tangible products ready for production. Our mission is to ensure that we meet client expectations in the proof of concept and prototype production phase. With approximately 50 team members, including Product Managers, CAD Engineers, and Process Design Engineers, our team closely collaborates and exchanges expertise.
The role
As Group Manager, you will build and lead a team of ambitious Product Managers at various seniority levels, with the ambition of growing the team to five to six members over time. At the same time, you will drive the development and launch of new products within key customer programs.
In the beginning of the role, you will also work as a Senior Product Manager, allowing you to stay close to the product and customer needs while establishing and developing the team.
A key part of your mission will be to ensure that the team thrives — both in terms of professional growth and in delivering high-quality, customer-focused results. You will be responsible for resource planning, supporting team members in their day-to-day work, and ensuring alignment with departmental goals, processes, and priorities.
You will also play a central role in the success of the team’s development programs, taking ownership of team performance, customer satisfaction, technical excellence and long-term profitability. As the first line of escalation, you’ll provide hands-on technical support when projects need extra attention, ensuring timely and effective resolutions.
Key Responsibilities
Lead and coach a team with direct-reporting engineers within Product Development.
Manage resource planning, goal setting, and prioritization.
Support team members both technically and commercially in their programs and ensure delivery excellence.
Drive professional development and foster a strong team culture.
Represent your team in internal forums and customer discussions.
Act as first escalation point for customer program challenges.
Time Allocation (Typical Monthly Distribution)
50% – Supporting the team’s customer programs.
30% – Leading your own customer programs.
20% – People management, planning, and team development.
Who You Are
You are an experienced leader with a strong background in project or program management and a passion for people development. You thrive in a dynamic and fast-paced environment and enjoy working close to both customers and technology.
To be successful in this role, we believe you have:
5+ years of experience in project management, program management, or similar areas.
Solid experience in customer-facing roles, with a proven track record of building long-term client relationships.
Experience within MEMS integration and/or product development in a related industry.
Formal leadership experience in a similar context.
A Master’s degree in Engineering in a related technical field.
Strong ability to support and guide individuals based on their unique needs.
A strategic mindset and the ability to prioritize effectively in a complex environment.
Has strong communication skills in spoken and written English, Swedish is considered a big plus.

We offer a dynamic workplace with short decision paths, a diverse team of top talent, and exciting growth opportunities.
