Cellula is looking to add a Software Product Owner to its Engineering team for an 8 month contract to support product development and project delivery.
Cellula Robotics Ltd. is a world-leading marine technology company focused on changing the paradigm of subsea survey, science and security through modular, long range, autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) systems. Our company is growing and is transitioning from building mostly one-of-a-kind prototypes to completing the development of our four core products and will be delivering multiples of those products to our customers. Our products are configured for each client to deliver required capabilities to the end-user. We are committed to producing sustainable solutions for the defense, mineral exploration, and energy sectors driven by innovation and industry knowledge. We’re looking for enthusiastic and energetic people to join us in this growth and transition.
At Cellula we believe in collaboration, innovation, adaptability and reliability. These values are woven through all our products and how we do business. Our products are designed to be solutions to the challenges and capability needs of our clients, which often requires developing new capabilities and subsystems unique to a particular application. These systems are designed, built, and tested in-house by a skilled team of engineers, technicians, and support staff. People are at the heart of our business, and we pride ourselves on having a team-based workplace and building partnerships to solve the most difficult challenges in ocean technology. We believe in learning and innovating by doing. We send staff along with our products into the field to learn from our clients which informs our innovation.
The Software Product Owner is the person who oversees the software product development at Cellula, coordinating with the Software Engineering Manager on managing the technical product development of Cellula’s software products. This role requires a person who exhibits strong leadership qualities, good judgement, and can be trusted to manage people, tasks,



and coordinate with other project managers and program managers to manage large critical projects with minimal supervision. The person must be well rounded and comfortable being in charge. A Software Product Owner will be required to coordinate software projects and programs, support AUV projects, and support sales and marketing. They are also required to have a strong understanding of the products, programs, technologies, or projects they are responsible for.
The Software Product Owner reports to the Software Engineering manager and is responsible for working with the manager and other stakeholders to develop and execute a product, technology or strategy roadmap. This includes leveraging paid projects, allocated internal funding, and other opportunities to develop a CVP (commercially viable product), technology, or capability, and progress the roadmap. The Software Product Owner must maintain a long-term view of the product line to guide it through its initial prototype and conceptual phase all the way to large scale deployment.
As a company, we offer team members a chance to grow professionally. Our office is a casual, collaborative setting where you will be able to learn about our state-of-the-art systems from technical experts.
