Technical Collaboration

• Work closely with system architects to support architectural decisions, assess feasibility, and manage technical risk and technical debt.
• Engage in design reviews, test strategy discussions, and field validation activities when needed.
• Foster a culture of mastery and continuous learning within the team.

Stakeholder Communication

• Act as a trusted link between engineering, Quality, Manufacturing, and Product stakeholders.
• Communicate progress, risks, dependencies, and trade‑offs transparently to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Ensure that customer, safety, and compliance requirements are understood and consistently embedded into development work.

Embedded Delivery Execution

• Support sprint ceremonies, system integration testing, firmware release coordination, and retrospectives.
• Together with Program Management, ensure that features are tested, validated, and compliant with internal and external safety standards.
• Drive continuous improvement in ways of working to help the team deliver with agility, ownership, and measurable impact.

• 3+ years of experience as a Product Owner, Systems Engineer, or similar role in embedded systems, hardware-software integration, or IoT.
• Demonstrated collaboration skills and strong communication abilities.
• Solid understanding of embedded platforms, microcontrollers, RTOS, firmware development, and system‑level constraints.
• Experience collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams across hardware, firmware, software, and testing.
• Strong requirement‑writing skills and proven ability to break down complex topics into clear, actionable work.
• Familiarity with agile practices adapted to mixed hardware/software environments.

Preferred

• Experience working with safety‑critical systems.
• Hands‑on experience with hardware bring‑up, board validation, or embedded QA.
• Understanding of configuration management and version control processes for embedded releases.

What We Offer You

• A key role in shaping the future of embedded platforms and next‑generation fire‑safety systems.
• Close collaboration with highly skilled engineers across multiple disciplines.
