Product Owner & Team Lead (embedded): Led two cross-functional teams (18 engineers) to deliver a global diagnostics/control platform used by workshop, production, and R&D; shipped a multi-million-dollar China launch on time during the Scania→TRATON transition.
Deep embedded expertise: C/C++, RTOS, bootloader-to-application, UDS/ISO 14229, AUTOSAR, J1939; built reusable diagnostics (DTC/DID, SecurityAccess) and CI/CD pipelines that reduced defects and sped releases.
Compliance and market enablement: Drove UNECE R155/R156 security activities (IRAM/TARA) for the EU and China, led CARB ZEP certification, and delivered in-house TVDS diagnostics to meet SOP and lower costs.
Strong product execution: Own backlogs/roadmaps in Jira/Azure DevOps; translate customer, production, and service needs into user stories; align with hardware/firmware; support EOL testing, release communication, and escalations.
Builder & change agent: Formed and coached a new SDV diagnostics team; fostered psychological safety; introduced design-first/API-first practices and an AI support bot, improving predictability, quality, and support deflection.

Led two cross-functional teams (18 engineers) delivering a global Diagnostics Communication Platform; owned backlog/roadmap and shipped the China market release on time during the Scania→TRATON transition (multi-million-$ program).
Owned a unified onboard/offboard diagnostics architecture (C#, AWS), introduced Design-First/API-first practices, and delivered UDS/J1939 capabilities by breaking down requirements with architects into executable user stories.
Partnered with production stakeholders to launch MVP integrations and close the feedback loop; triaged/ prioritized escalations and prototyped an AI chatbot to deflect L1/L2 support and accelerate troubleshooting.
Built and coached a new SDV diagnostics team and drove agile ways of working; led IRAM/TARA activities for UNECE R155/R156 compliance across EU & China, strengthening secure development practices.
Technical Product Owner

05.2022 - 05.2024
Owned the roadmap for onboard diagnostics in electromobility across EU, US, and LATAM; aligned features with regulations and customer needs, which sped up delivery and kept programs on track in a fast, startup-like environment.
Led certification work for the U.S. market for zero-emission powertrains; coordinated testing and documentation end-to-end, securing approval on time, and unlocking market access.
Drove cross-functional diagnostics integration across trucks, buses, construction equipment, and marine; worked with aftermarket and production to improve fault detection and write clearer workshop instructions, reducing repair time and rework.
Delivered an in-house Embedded Software for Traction Voltage Distribution System diagnostics solution under a tight deadline, enabled SOP, and avoided external costs, while coaching teams on Agile best practices to keep multiple parallel projects moving.
Scrum Master & Function Developer
Volvo Group
Gothenburg
02.2021 - 05.2022
Built onboard diagnostics in C, Git, Simulink (incl. Dual CCS charging monitors; defined DCDC diagnostics requirements with the Global Component Responsible, optimized DTCs, and implemented smart monitors—improved fault detection and resolved a major field issue.
Worked with field quality and service teams to validate diagnostics behavior and wrote clear workshop instructions for DCDC troubleshooting—faster fixes and fewer repeat visits.
As Scrum Master/team lead, took over a new team with a fragmented backlog; set up Agile ceremonies, refined items with developers, and aligned work to business goals using Jira/Confluence—better predictability, throughput, and stakeholder transparency.
Coached and unblocked engineers on the diagnostics framework, improved onboarding, and structured a stable backlog—reduced schedule risk and enabled a smooth transition into Product Owner responsibilities.
