Responsibilities
- Product Ownership: Own and prioritize the team backlog for the upload station solution in alignment with Program Increment (PI) objectives and Agile Release Train priorities.
- End-to-end Capability Ownership: Manage the end‑to‑end capability for vehicle → upload station → AWS cloud data flow, ensuring reliability, scalability, and predictable throughput.
- Vehicle Data Ingestion & Transfer: Drive the evolution of upload station capabilities including station configuration and lifecycle management, local buffering and retry handling, monitoring and observability, and secure cloud uploads.
- Vehicle Data Ingestion & Transfer: Translate autonomy and data domain requirements into clear, deliverable backlog items and acceptance criteria.
- Vehicle Data Ingestion & Transfer: Identify and manage risks related to scalability, availability, cost, and operational complexity of a globally distributed solution.
- Stakeholder Alignment & Collaboration: Act as the primary interface between vehicle teams, data processing teams, infrastructure and networking stakeholders, and operations teams managing physical hubs.
- Stakeholder Alignment & Collaboration: Collaborate closely with Product Management and other Product Owners within the ART to manage cross-team dependencies.
- Stakeholder Alignment & Collaboration: Provide transparency on delivery progress, operational health, and trade-offs to stakeholders.
- Agile Execution: Ensure backlog readiness and active participation in SAFe ceremonies such as PI Planning, backlog refinement, and Inspect & Adapt events.
Requirements
- Proven experience as a Product Owner or Product Manager in complex, distributed system environments, working closely with engineering teams to translate high-level objectives and PI goals into clear, well-structured backlog items that enable predictable delivery.
- Solid understanding of data transfer pipelines, networking fundamentals, and cloud-based ingestion, with familiarity in large-scale data movement, buffering strategies, and reliability considerations at the edge.
- Experience working in a SAFe or scaled agile environment, including backlog ownership and PI-based planning.
- Confident communicator who enjoys working across technical and non-technical stakeholders in a scaled agile environment; communicating with them fluently in English.
Nice to Have
- German is a plus.
- Pragmatic mindset: You can turn ambiguity into action, balance short-term delivery with long-term maintainability.
