Enovation Controls is seeking a Software Product Owner to lead their PowerVision and OpenPV software platforms, aiming to turn strategy into shipped capability and ambiguity into ordered backlogs and reliable releases by accelerating developer throughput and delivering measurable results.
Requirements
- 3+ years as a Product Owner (or equivalent product role) in software platforms, with a track record of shipping and iterating.
- Proven ability to structure backlogs for outcomes, write high-quality stories, and run effective refinement, planning, and reviews.
- Mastery of established PO practices—backlog management (themes/epics/stories/acceptance criteria), refinement, planning, and reviews—and the ability to adapt them to hybrid delivery (Agile/Scrum/Kanban plus stage-gate/serial).
- Comfortable engaging at a technical level (APIs, SDKs, build/release basics, CAN/NMEA workflows); no coding required.
- Demonstrated success working in both Agile and stage-gate/serial contexts, including hybrid/scaled environments (e.g., Scrum with phase gates, SAFe/Lean-Agile alongside hardware).
- Experience with embedded electronics and HMIs; familiarity with Qt, Crank Storyboard, CODESYS, or comparable embedded/HMI toolchains.
- Tooling familiarity: Jira/Azure DevOps/LiquidPlanner/Etc.
Responsibilities
- Own the PowerVision/OpenPV roadmap and backlogs: define themes/epics/stories, crisp acceptance criteria, and outcome-oriented release goals.
- Run discovery to delivery loops: customer interviews, problem framing, validation, and evidence-based prioritization.
- Partner daily with Engineering, UX, Technical Services, and Applications to remove blockers and uphold Definition of Ready/Done and release quality.
- Continuously improve ways of working (e.g., story mapping, impact mapping, dual-track discovery, better refinement and planning rituals).
- Define and operate by product and flow metrics: adoption, activation, time-to-first-configure, release quality/defect rates, and delivery lead/cycle time (optionally include CAC if relevant to your charter).
- Represent the product in reviews/demos and key customer conversations; convert feedback into prioritized backlog changes and close the loop post-release.
- Experience operating with hardware–software dependencies, release trains, and change control (e.g., ECOs, stage-gate, PLM); skilled at managing cross-team risks and timelines.
Other
- Be the subject-matter expert in the “what,” not the “how.” Understand deeply how customers use PowerVision and OpenPV today and how they want to use them tomorrow; translate that into clear product outcomes.
- Explain complex technical topics in plain language to sales, customers, partners, executives, and other non-technical stakeholders—clearly conveying what the software does and why it matters.
- Translate strategy into roadmaps for our software platforms, beginning with OpenPV and PowerVision; communicate priorities and trade-offs.
- Strong stakeholder management and communication; influences without authority across engineering and business teams.
- Up to 25% travel for heartbeat check-ins at HQ, key customer interactions, events, and cross-team alignment.
