Product Owner - AI & Test Engineering

We’re looking for a Product Owner – AI & Test Engineering to join our SW Platform organization. We’re responsible for the machine platform that Epiroc’s mining and construction equipment runs on.

In this role, AI is at the heart of what you do. You’ll help shape how software developers across all of Epiroc use AI in their daily work, and how AI changes the way we test and verify our software.

Are you curious about how AI is changing software development? Do you enjoy collaborating with people across teams and helping turn needs into clear priorities? Would you like to help build something new from the start, with an impact across the whole company? Then we’d love to hear from you.

A stream in the making

AI & Test Engineering is a new product stream in our platform organisation. The teams are being built right now, and their setup, size and exact scope aren’t finalised yet. As Product Owner, you’ll have a real opportunity to influence how the stream takes shape, together with the teams, your manager and the Chief Product Owner.

Your mission

As Product Owner you’re responsible for the AI & Test Engineering product stream, where AI is the main focus. The stream is planned to cover two areas:

• AI Software Factory: exploring and introducing AI-supported, agentic ways of working across the software development lifecycle, for all software developers at Epiroc.
• AI-driven Test & Integration: using AI to rethink how we test and integrate platform software, together with test frameworks, simulation, a software-defined lab and system testing.

You connect the teams with their stakeholders. For the AI Software Factory, these are software developers and development teams across Epiroc’s divisions and sites. For Test & Integration, they are mainly the internal teams that develop and deliver on the platform.

You’re responsible for the product backlog in Jira and the roadmap. By listening to stakeholders and understanding their needs, you help translate them into clear epics and user stories and support the teams in focusing on what creates the most value.

You keep up with how AI in software development is evolving and help turn new possibilities into practical value for developers and testers.

You work closely with the Scrum Masters and Tech Leads, collaborate with our architects and work closely with the Chief Product Owner on the overall platform roadmap. You also take part in cross-team planning together with the other product streams. You’ll report to a team manager in the SW Platform organization and be part of a supportive team where knowledge sharing and learning are encouraged.

Your profile

• You have experience as a Product Owner or in a similar role, for example product manager, test lead, technical project lead or requirements owner, in a software development environment.
• You have a genuine interest in AI and how it can support software development and testing, and you may already use AI tools in your own work.
• You’re familiar with agile ways of working such as Scrum and with tools like Jira.
• You enjoy working with a broad range of stakeholders and helping new ways of working spread across an organization.
• It’s a plus if you have experience with AI-assisted or agentic software development, AI in testing, test automation, CI/CD or simulation.
• You speak Swedish and you’re fluent in English, both written and spoken.

As a person, you’re curious, structured, communicative and collaborative. You’re comfortable when not everything is decided yet, and you enjoy helping to create structure together with others. You build trusting relationships with stakeholders, help the teams find focus and like to keep learning.

We know that great candidates don’t always meet every requirement. If this role sounds interesting, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t tick every box. We welcome applicants of all genders and backgrounds and believe diverse teams build better products.

Location

The role is based in Örebro, Sweden. We work hybrid, with at least three days a week in the office.
