Embedded Systems Project Manager

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Project Manager – Embedded Systems to lead a high-impact strategic initiative within a large-scale organization. The project centers on evaluating and potentially transforming the IT systems that support both onboard vehicle technology and real-time operational coordination.

You will be responsible for analyzing the current embedded and dispatch systems, assessing their functionalities, and building a comprehensive business case to support a key strategic decision: whether to continue internal development or transition to a commercial off-the-shelf solution.

You’ll collaborate with a diverse internal team of engineers, developers, analysts, and stakeholders, and steer the project from architecture review through planning, execution, and decision-making—ensuring alignment with organizational goals and long-term mobility objectives.

This is a full-time hybrid role based in Namur, with two days of remote work per week (preferably on-site Thursdays and Fridays).

Key responsibilities

• Assess current embedded and support systems (onboard computer & dispatching software).

  • KPI dashboards and progress reporting.

  • Change management & steering committees.

• Ensure stakeholder alignment across cross-functional teams.

• Maintain direct reporting line with the Department's Project Portfolio Coordinator.

• Support continuous improvement of project methodologies within the department.

• Ensure transverse alignment between teams responsible for both ODB and SAE systems.
