Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Product Owner - **Company:** Delft Circuits - **Location:** Delft, Netherlands - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** €5,781.0 - €6,853.0 - **Contract:** Temporary contract - **Skills:** Spreadsheets, Netsuite, Operational Data Store, SAP (Applications), Software Engineering, Product Software Implementation Methods, Software Project Management, Odoo, Data Management - **Published:** August 27, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.nationalevacaturebank.nl/vacature/864a94c4-ea6e-4909-9853-68255f318315/product-owner ## About the Role + Experience in a manufacturing environment - you understand production floors, process flows, and why data quality at the source matters + Experience managing software projects or products - you have shipped something: an ERP module, an internal tool, a software implementation; you know how to define requirements, manage a specialist/consultant, and drive to a working outcome + Stakeholder management & change management experience - you have successfully introduced new systems or processes to teams that were resistant or skeptical; you know how to bring people along without losing them + 7-10 years relevant professional experience + University education in industrial engineering, software development or similar. Strong advantages + Hands-on experience with Odoo, or another MRP/MES/ERP system (SAP, IMES, Exact, NetSuite) in a manufacturing context + Familiarity with manufacturing data concepts: BOMs, routings, work orders, MRP logic, inventory valuation + Experience coordinating with programmers or technical teams - you don't need to code, but you need to speak the language well enough to write a clear spec and challenge a technical decision + Background in high-mix low-volume, precision, or technical manufacturing Personal profile + Very practical person, with a strong "getting things done" mentality. + Can work independently within a clear mandate. + Owner / entrepreneurial mindset. + Structured and detail-oriented - master data errors cost weeks to fix; you prevent them upfront + Diplomatically persistent - you hold the line on what the system needs while keeping stakeholders on side + Comfortable with ambiguity - we are a scale-up; not everything is defined yet, and that's part of the job + Full-time, on-site in Delft - this role requires presence; stakeholder trust is built in person Deep Odoo technical/developer knowledge (we have a consultant / specialist for that) Experience with cryogenic or semiconductor manufacturing (we will teach you what matters) ## Description We run Odoo ERP across the company, with system ownership shared between roles. Our manufacturing module is up and running in a basic setup; our current scaling phase calls for taking it a step further. You'll have the opportunity to take it to the next level and shape how manufacturing runs digitally. We are hiring a Product Owner - Manufacturing Systems to own this transformation end-to-end: assess and suggest improvement if necessary for the manufacturing data structure (products, BOMs, routings, processes), align it with stakeholders across the organization, manage our Odoo specialist & implementation consultant, and drive implementation through to adoption. This is not a software project - it's an operational transformation. You will be the person who bridges the precision of our manufacturing environment with the logic of an ERP system and brings our team along with it. You report directly to the COO. This is a new role and although the objective is clear, the actual activities of the role can be defined together. What You Will Do Your first deliverable is a complete picture: define the full Odoo manufacturing structure (products, BOMs, work centers, routings) and build a roadmap. There is a lot of information already available; the skill is to translate a long list of information and needs into an actual plan in smaller steps. The plan is ambitious and end-to-end - but execution is sprint-based. Priority is to get the MRP basics up & running asap. Production operations & data should live in Odoo, and not in spreadsheets. Each sprint follows the same loop: Define - scope what this sprint will implement and what "done" looks like Align - get stakeholder agreement before building, not after Build - implement with our Odoo specialist and internal developers Adopt - train, document, and make the change stick Retrospect - capture learnings and adjust the roadmap for the next sprint You own the roadmap and the sprint priorities. You decide what comes next based on operational impact, dependencies, and what the team can absorb. Start with a plan - execute in sprints, Direct impact: you will build the operational data backbone of a company at a genuinely important technology frontier Real ownership: this is not a support role - you define the structure, manage the experts, and own the outcome Growth path: as we scale, this role grows - into advanced analytics, manufacturing intelligence, and potentially proprietary tooling that becomes a competitive edge in the quantum hardware market You report to the COO, with full executive visibility and backing Why Join Delft Circuits? At Delft Circuits you will work on cutting-edge cryogenic electronics that supports the scale-up of quantum technologies. You'll be part of a team that values curiosity, ownership and practical execution. We offer a collaborative environment that values inventive "beyond-the-box" thinking and where you'll find: + A 12-month contract with intention to extend to indefinite + Full-time position (36 hours per week) ## Related Videos - [Recruitment Reinvented: Bold strategies and the $10K signing incentive](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1068-recruitment-reinvented-bold-strategies-and-the-10k-signing-incentive) - [Launching a marketplace on-time: A lesson in taking shortcuts using spreadsheets!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/477-launching-a-marketplace-on-time-a-lesson-in-taking-shortcuts-using-spreadsheets) - [How One Developer Built the Back Office for 10 Million Companies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100082-how-one-developer-built-the-back-office-for-10-million-companies) - [From Global Capability Centers to AI-Powered Command Centers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100096-from-global-capability-centers-to-ai-powered-command-centers) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [HR ROBO SAPIENS: Decoding AI Agents and Workflow Automation for Modern Recruitment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1470-hr-robo-sapiens-decoding-ai-agents-and-workflow-automation-for-modern-recruitment) ## Related Articles - [The Netherlands – Europe’s powerhouse for software development?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/31-the-netherlands-europe-s-powerhouse-for-software-development) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Software Developer Salary in The Netherlands [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/217-software-developer-salary-in-the-netherlands-2023) - [Best Companies in the Netherlands: Top 25 Companies in 2023 ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/193-best-companies-in-the-netherlands-top-25-companies-in-2023) - [How to land a developer job in Amsterdam](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/36-how-to-land-a-developer-job-in-amsterdam) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
