About this role

Boeing Australia seeks a Senior Technical Product Owner based in Brisbane in hybrid capacity. This role drives successful delivery of a large-scale, next-generation pilot training product. It owns and manages the backlog for three simulation systems workstreams in a complex, geographically distributed program.

Operate in a high-paced Kanban-based development environment emphasizing regular, frequent deliveries of working software. Translate high-level business needs, functional and non-functional requirements into detailed, actionable engineering tasks. Ensure transparency, risk management, quality, and timely escalation of blockers through close collaboration with development teams.

Act as the key interface between business stakeholders, engineering stakeholders, distributed development teams across time zones, and other parallel workstreams. Facilitate communication and coordination to manage dependencies, resolve cross-team impediments, and maintain program coherence. Monitor workflow using Kanban boards, tracking cycle time, throughput, and work-in-progress limits.

Capture and report progress metrics, burndown data, and status updates to leadership, highlighting risks and forecasts. Proactively identify and manage technical risks, ensuring increments meet quality standards like simulation fidelity, latency, scalability, and regulatory compliance for pilot training systems. Participate in ceremonies such as backlog refinement, replenishment, stand-ups, and retrospectives.
