Product Owner- Maritime (remote)
Hood River, Oregon, United States On-site
Salary not listedJobFig found this opening at its original source and checks that it remains available.
About the role
This role is the in-house authority on maritime ISR missions — surface search, vessel tracking and classification, dark-vessel detection, SAR, counter-narcotics, fisheries enforcement, and maritime domain awareness — and the trusted voice of the operator across Product, Engineering, Design, and Business Development. You will partner closely with our central Product Manager who owns delivery cadence, sprint mechanics, and cross-product backlog discipline; you feed that machine with validated mission problems, prioritized epics, and crisp requirements grounded in real operations. This is an ideal role for someone with a maritime ISR or sensor operations background who wants to translate hard-earned operational expertise into a product that genuinely changes how maritime missions are flown. You will be expected to embrace AI aggressively — both because edge AI is the heart of our product, and because we expect our team to use modern AI tooling to move faster in everything we do.
What you'll bring
- Write product briefs, use-case docs, and requirements in Confluence and Jira that capture how missions actually work.
- Hand off well-defined problems to the central PM for sprint planning, and stay involved through delivery.
- 5+ years operating, leading, or supporting airborne maritime ISR missions — as aircrew, sensor operator, mission commander, or equivalent — OR equivalent product experience deeply embedded with maritime ISR customers.
- Hands-on experience with EO/IR camera/gimbal systems on manned or unmanned maritime patrol platforms.
- Background with military, government, or defense contractors supporting maritime ISR.
- Strong written communication and comfort operating with ambiguity.
- Genuine enthusiasm for AI and a habit of using modern AI tools daily.
- Prior military service in an aircrew, sensor operator, or ISR mission role
- Experience with defense acquisition pathways or in a defense-tech, GovTech, or aerospace product role.
- Experience working in agile teams, and familiarity with tools like Jira/Confluence.
- Familiarity with maritime C2 systems and data fusion.
- ideally maritime.
