Location: Hengelo, Netherlands
IT Product Owner (Fire Control Systems)
ABOUT THE PRODUCT
Our Above Water Warfare Fire Control System (AWW-FCS) enables protection of ships and other units from above-water threats. These threats are becoming faster, smarter and more complex. And a Fire Control System combines the radar and the intelligent algorithm which is designed to assist a ranged weapon system in targeting, tracking and hitting its target.
Specifically, we develop software that connects Thales' next-generation radar suite with the actual Firing Systems on marine ships. The AWW-FCS system provides the necessary information to Defense Operators to make the right decision within seconds.
ABOUT THE JOB
As PO, you are a vital link between internal (project and product) stakeholders and their requirements, the (technical product) roadmap for your team, the product architecture and the development team. There are multiple teams within multiple sub-departments working on the same, so dependency management and alignment between teams and sub-departments is essential.
Our product development is recently placed within a new project organization, so we are in the forming-phase as a sub-department. It means that you mainly focus on clarifying the roadmap and the new priorities for the team and that you plan and communicate with project deadlines in mind. You collaborate with Project Managers, your Team/line Manager, other POs within and outside the sub-department, but mostly with Software Developers within your team. Your part in the delivery results comes from Prioritizing, leading Refinements, Backlog Grooming and Documentation, and Roadmap Creation.
The software we use is based on Java and C++ and is supported by a modern development environment. The foundation and core planning module of the Fire Control System is based on Java.
In sum:
- Agile/Scrum software development within a Project Organization
- Coordination of a highly technical Agile/Scrum team;
- Committed deadlines on project level as well as Scrum sprints;
- System/software specifications and requirement engineering
- (Functional) designs for products or components;
- Product/team backlog captured in Jira;
- Internal and external stakeholders;
- Cooperate with external parties if required;

- Available for 32-40 hours per week, preferably as of 1st of October 2024 (negotiable)
