Chief Product Officer

eyeo is an innovative, fast-growing start-up that brings groundbreaking technology in the image sensor space. Our advanced color splitter technology has the potential to disrupt a $25 billion market in the coming years, enabling transformative advancements across industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, medical imaging, and surveillance. You will have the unique opportunity to shape the future of our product offerings and contribute directly to our mission of revolutionizing the imaging technology sector. If you’re passionate about driving innovation and want to build the future of imaging, we want you on our team!

We are seeking a technically strong Product Owner with deep expertise in CMOS image sensor and camera system engineering. You will be responsible for translating customer requirements into technically feasible specifications and guiding the development of integrated camera systems that leverage eyeo’s proprietary sensor technology.

In this role, you will own the target product or product line end-to-end, covering all aspects from early market exploration through release and post-release adoption. This includes collecting and synthesizing the voice of the customer, understanding target applications and market dynamics, and developing a clear Market Requirements Document (MRD) that connects customer needs, technical feasibility, and business priorities. A major part of the role also includes accountability for the quality aspects of the product, ensuring that product requirements, validation plans, documentation, demonstrators, and release readiness consistently meet the expected standards. As the product progresses through its lifecycle, you will ensure that relevant use-case demonstrators and proofs of concept are planned and executed, that collateral documentation is accurate and compelling, and that the product is actively promoted both before and after release.

Occasional travel is expected as part of the role, including visits to customers, participation in conferences, and representation of eyeo at relevant exhibitions and industry events.

Education:

Master’s degree in engineering, computer vision, imaging science, electrical engineering, physics, or a related technical field.

Key Responsibilities:

Technical Leadership

Own the end-to-end definition of camera system specifications, including sensor, optics, readout, and processing pipelines.
Evaluate and select lens systems, define image readout protocols, and specify image processing requirements (e.g., HDR, ROI, binning, mirroring, defect correction).

Customer Requirements Translation

Engage with customers to understand use cases and performance expectations.
Translate customer needs into detailed, technically sound product requirements.

Sensor & Optics Integration

Collaborate with sensor design and optics teams to ensure system-level compatibility and performance.
Validate optical stack behavior and sensor readout quality using metrics such as QE, MTF, SNR, dark current, and dynamic range.

System Characterization & Validation

Support the definition and execution of characterization plans for CMOS image sensors and camera modules.
Ensure system readiness through rigorous validation of optical and electrical performance.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Work closely with engineering, operations, and marketing to align product development with business goals.
Participate in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and roadmap reviews.

Qualifications:

Experience:

Required Qualifications:
Proven experience in product ownership or system engineering within the imaging domain.
