Product Owner

As a Product Owner, you will combine your skills and abilities as a keen Software System Engineer, as well as you will work together with a multidisciplinary Agile team as a Product Owner. These teams develop and test the infrastructure platform for combat management systems, the radar systems and the optical sensor systems. Software system engineers often work in the role of product owner. The product owner is the linking pin between stakeholders, the product roadmap and the systems architecture. Activities include managing the backlog, translating customer requirements into product requirements and work packages, and demonstrating functionality/features to stakeholders.
