Product Owner

Are you open for a position as Product Owner in a global high-tech product company? With us you will get the opportunity to work in the expanding Mobile Robot market that is doing rapid technological leaps! We have been developing world leading Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) systems for the last 50 years and we have a prosperous future ahead of us since the market growth is huge.

About the position

An AGV system is a fleet of mobile robots that automatically transport goods in a network of fixed virtual roads, designed according to the specification of the site, e.g., a warehouse. In this position, you will be the Product Owner and work close with a development team in the Agile Release Train. The team consists of software engineers, software quality assurance engineers and some other roles such as content writer and system architect. As Product Owner, you will belong to the Product Management Department consisting of one Lead Product Manager, four Product Managers and three Product Owners. The whole team reports to our Product Management Director.

As a Product Owner, you will break down features to user stories and prioritize and maintain the team’s backlog. You will help the team meet deadlines by helping with prioritization and removing hurdles. You will also accept or reject completion of user stories. It is important to align to company strategy and the vision for the entire product portfolio. Furthermore, it is critical to produce customer value, which needs to be done by balancing new feature development with software architectural work for sustainable quality and research in coming technology areas. You focus on product value while the team is responsible for getting the technical details right. You make your teamwork visible and transparent to the rest of the company.

The overall aim is to make sure that we continues to create successful products, considering business, technology, and user experience. The technology within sensors and communication evolves fast and so does the overall technique within automation and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) which makes it important that you as a part of your work keep yourself up to date about what happens within our industry.

At Kollmorgen, we have the possibility to gain knowledge and help with different areas outside of the main role. If you are interested in market analysis or patents, one of these tasks could be part of your work scope
