As Product Owner for our simulator product, you will translate complex stakeholder needs into clear product requirements and agile execution, helping deliver a simulation platform that supports validation, testing, training, and mission readiness for embedded, robotics, and unmanned systems. The work is challenging, mission-driven, and grounded in real operational needs.
Support and drive the product roadmap for the simulator product and related software-driven systems
Contribute to requirement engineering activities across product, engineering, and stakeholder interfaces
Capture, structure, prioritize, and maintain product and system requirements throughout the development lifecycle
Translate customer, user, and operational needs into actionable product specifications and development goals
Work closely with simulation, software, embedded, robotics, test, and hardware teams to ensure requirements are feasible, clear, and traceable
Support agile software development processes across cross-functional engineering teams
Manage and prioritize the product backlog in alignment with company objectives and technical constraints
Define user stories, acceptance criteria, and release priorities with clear technical relevance
Coordinate sprint planning, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, and retrospective activities with engineering teams
Facilitate agile ceremonies and help maintain an effective Scrum-based development rhythm
Support the team in removing blockers, improving collaboration, and maintaining delivery focus
Promote transparency, ownership, and continuous improvement across the development process
Support validation, verification, and product acceptance by ensuring requirements are testable and measurable
Help align internal stakeholders across engineering, business, operations, and leadership
Monitor product progress, delivery risks, and dependencies, and support mitigation activities
Support field feedback loops and convert operational learnings into product improvements
Produce structured documentation for product requirements, priorities, decisions, and release planning
Work with engineering teams developing simulation environments for software validation, test, and mission preparation
Support requirement definition for simulation use cases such as SIL, HIL, and system validation workflows
A university degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Physics, or a related field
Experience as a Product Owner, Junior Product Owner, Project Engineer, Systems Engineer, Scrum Master, or similar role in a technical environment
Experience with simulator development, simulation products, or physics-based engineering tools.
Experience in requirement engineering and agile software development
Good understanding of Scrum processes and agile team facilitation
Good technical understanding of software products and engineering development workflows
Experience working with cross-functional teams involving software, simulation, embedded, or systems engineering
Ability to translate operational and technical needs into structured requirements and product decisions
Understanding of backlog management, user stories, acceptance criteria definition, and sprint planning
Ability to facilitate agile ceremonies, track progress, and support delivery execution
Strong communication, coordination, and stakeholder management skills
