Product Owner - Machine Foundation

We’re looking for a Product Owner – Machine Foundation to join our SW Platform organisation. We’re responsible for the machine platform that Epiroc’s mining and construction equipment runs on. In this role you’ll help shape the core software that every machine application relies on, from our Linux-based operating system to the base functionality and middleware that support it.

Do you enjoy working close to technology, collaborating with people across teams and helping turn needs into clear priorities? Then we’d love to hear from you.

Your mission

As Product Owner you’re responsible for the Machine Foundation product stream. You work with two agile development teams:

• OS team: develops our Linux-based operating system, including the service OS and secure boot.
• Base & Middleware team: works with base functionality and middleware that support the applications running on our machines.

You connect the teams with their stakeholders, mainly the internal teams that build on the platform. You’re responsible for the product backlog in Jira and the roadmap, and you shape what goes into the OS. 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 work closely with each team’s Scrum Master and Tech Lead, and you collaborate with our architects in the direction of the base and middleware areas. You work closely with the Chief Product Owner on the overall platform roadmap, take part in cross-team planning and contribute to release go/no-go decisions. Each team has about 5–8 members.

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, technical project lead or requirements owner, in a software development environment.
• You’re familiar with agile ways of working such as Scrum and with tools like Jira.
• You have an interest in software development and enjoy discussions with developers and architects.
• It’s a plus if you have experience with embedded Linux, operating systems, middleware or platform software, for example in industrial, automotive or similar products.
• You speak Swedish and you’re fluent in English, both written and spoken.

As a person, you’re structured, communicative and collaborative. You build trusting relationships with stakeholders, help the teams find focus and handle different perspectives with care. You enjoy working with people as much as with technology and like to keep learning together with others.

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.
