• Capture, structure, prioritize, and maintain product and system requirements throughout the development lifecycle
• Translate customer, user, and operational needs into actionable product specifications and development goals
• Work closely with simulation, software, embedded, robotics, test, and hardware teams to ensure requirements are feasible, clear, and traceable
• Support agile software development processes across cross-functional engineering teams
• Manage and prioritize the product backlog in alignment with company objectives and technical constraints
• Define user stories, acceptance criteria, and release priorities with clear technical relevance
• Coordinate sprint planning, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, and retrospective activities with engineering teams
• Facilitate agile ceremonies and help maintain an effective Scrum-based development rhythm
• Support the team in removing blockers, improving collaboration, and maintaining delivery focus
• Promote transparency, ownership, and continuous improvement across the development process
• Support validation, verification, and product acceptance by ensuring requirements are testable and measurable
• Help align internal stakeholders across engineering, business, operations, and leadership
• Monitor product progress, delivery risks, and dependencies, and support mitigation activities
• Support field feedback loops and convert operational learnings into product improvements
• Produce structured documentation for product requirements, priorities, decisions, and release planning
• Work with engineering teams developing simulation environments for software validation, test, and mission preparation
• Support requirement definition for simulation use cases such as SIL, HIL, and system validation workflows
