Backed by Imec.istart, ESA, and the European Commission, we’re growing fast. Our first satellite missions are going up in March 2026, and more are sure to follow. If you want to shape the future of space infrastructure, you’ll feel right at home at EDGX. 🚀

As Product Owner , you define what EDGX builds and why. You translate market needs, customer feedback, and strategic direction into a prioritised product roadmap. You are the authority on feature prioritisation and product scope, working closely with our R&D team and Business Development.

Key Responsibilities

1. Product Roadmap – 40%

• Product Roadmap: Own the product roadmap, defining and prioritising features, capabilities, and product variants based on market needs, customer input, and company strategy.
• Backlog Management: Maintain a single prioritised backlog of everything customers request, the market demands, and the strategy requires. Make trade-off decisions on scope, schedule, and feature depth in collaboration with R&D.
• Requirements Translation: Translate customer requirements and market trends into clear product requirements and user stories that the engineering team can execute against.
• R&D Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with the R&D Lead and engineering team to ensure priorities are aligned, technically feasible, and delivered in a logical sequence.

2. Market & Competitive Intelligence – 30%

• Voice of the Customer: Serve as the voice of the customer internally. Systematically gather and log insights from customer engagements, partner discussions, and institutional interactions to ensure engineering decisions are driven by real market demand.
• Competitive Analysis: Own the structured competitive overview: track competitor products, pricing, positioning, and roadmaps. Consolidate inputs from the entire team into actionable analysis that informs product decisions.
• Go-to-Market Positioning: Define the value proposition and positioning for each product variant in collaboration with Business Development.

3. Pre-Sales & Customer Interface – 30%

• Pre-Sales Support: Drive the pre-sales technical process together with Sales and relevant engineers, ensuring customer expectations are feasible before commitment.
• Product Fit Assessment: Evaluate how well the standard product meets prospect needs. Identify what can be delivered as-is versus what requires customisation, and define what we can and cannot promise.
• Customer Feedback Loop: Proactively initiate calls and meetings with customers, users, and partners to validate use cases, gather requirements, and close the loop between the market and the engineering team.

Your Profile

• Space industry experience: You bring several years of hands-on experience in the space industry. You understand the ecosystem, satellite manufacturers and operators, and you speak the language. A background in system engineering is a benefit.
• Product mindset: You have a natural instinct for what to build and what to leave out. Prior experience as a Product Owner or Product Manager is a strong plus, but what matters most is a demonstrated ability to translate market signals into product direction.
• Technical backbone: You have an engineering degree or equivalent technical background. You’re comfortable challenging engineers, understanding system-level trade-offs, and diving into specifications when needed.
• Customer-facing confidence: You’re comfortable presenting to customers, agencies, and partners. You can represent the product externally and bring structured feedback back internally.
• Hands-on: You’re strategic, but you’re also ready to write a user story, update the backlog, or jump on a customer call when needed. In a startup, we wear many hats.
• Communicator: You excel at simplifying complex technical concepts into clear value propositions for both engineers and business stakeholders.
• Languages: English proficiency is mandatory. A second language (Dutch, German, French, etc.) is appreciated.
