• Drive requirements engineering activities, translating stakeholder needs into clear, structured, and testable requirements and well‑defined backlog items with appropriate acceptance criteria
• Work as Product Owner within the development setup, collaborating closely with Scrum Masters or Technical Program Managers to support effective planning and delivery
• Facilitate and contribute to product and technical trade‑off discussions, providing clarity on priorities and scope while balancing performance, cost, quality, manufacturability, and serviceability from a product and lifecycle perspective
• Incorporate input from Manufacturing and Service & Support into backlog refinement to support robustness, maintainability, and lifecycle requirements
• Provide transparency on priorities, risks, dependencies, and planning implications across related camera products where applicable
• Support near‑ and mid‑term product and release planning in alignment with ongoing development
• Contribute to the delivery of broadcast‑grade products meeting high standards for quality, reliability, and real‑time performance
