We believe in making the impossible possible together – by building on each individual's personal strengths. Our goal is to change the way cities in Europe are heated and cooled, do you want to shape the future with us?

Our world is in the midst of an energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. At Qvantum, we have developed a solution to tackle a difficult challenge that no one has been able to solve before – how to enable the many people in the big cities to live a life without dependence on fossil fuels for heating and cooling at an affordable price. We have developed a wide range of smart heat pump solutions built on modern software. The products are suitable for everything from small apartments to large property complexes and entire residential blocks. The next generation of heat pumps are not only very energy efficient but also designed to be an active node in the electrical grid. Qvantum has developed a series of new capabilities for this purpose including our heat pump to grid (HP2G), flexready®, thermal battery and digital doctor features.

We are currently more than 350 colleagues, located in 8 different countries, and we continue to grow at a rapid pace. With factories in Sweden and Hungary, multiple R&D centres and world class specialist competencies in heat pump hardware- & software development, energy systems and industrialization we are aiming to become one of the leading players in our segment in Europe.

We invite you to an exciting company building journey filled with development opportunities and an inclusive work environment that encourages professional and personal development together with dynamic and forward-thinking colleagues! Join Us!

About the role

We’re looking for a technically skilled and forward-thinking Product Owner to help shape the future of our next-generation heat pump systems. We’re a fast-growing team on a mission to redefine how heating and cooling fit into sustainable & smart living. As our Product Owner for Heat Pump Systems, you’ll take the lead in driving the development of our core heat pump modules and their integration into modern HVAC and smart home environments. But you’ll also be a builder of something bigger — helping us design the processes, workflows, and culture that will define how we grow and lead together. You’ll serve as the voice of the product within the development teams, translating strategic goals into clear, actionable user stories and maintaining a focused, prioritized backlog. Your work will directly impact the user experience, profitability, reliability, and regulatory readiness of Qvantum (residential and commercial) heat pump energy systems — and shape how we bring innovation to life.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and write product specifications of Qvantum’s heat pump based energy systems.
• Together with Product Manager, prioritize and manage the product backlog, defining clear user stories, technical requirements, and acceptance criteria.
• Oversee R&D development, including prototype development, lab testing, factory audits, and field tests to validate performance, reliability, and user experience.
• Together with Certification and Sustainability Manager, ensure that heat pumps meet all necessary certifications, environmental regulations, and energy efficiency standards (e.g., ErP, EHPA, UL, CE).
• Oversee and approve relevant documentation (technical manuals) enclosed with main products.
• Gather feedback from customers, installers, and service teams to continuously improve heat pump functionality and usability.
• Ensure seamless integration with heat pump systems, HVAC components, smart home ecosystems, and energy management platforms.
• Track key metrics for user experience, durability, connectivity, and profitability to refine the module/product design and features.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field (Master’s degree preferred)
• 3+ years of experience as a Product Owner or Technical Product Manager, ideally within the HVAC- or heat pump industries.
• Deep understanding of heat pump systems, thermodynamics, and HVAC architectures, with the ability to make technically informed decisions.
• Hands-on experience with heat pump development, system design, or component integration
• Familiarity with product certification processes and regulatory compliance (ErP, EHPA, CE, UL, etc.)
• Familiarity with integrating hardware and software components in complex environments involving IoT, control systems, and third-party platforms.
• Proficient in agile methodologies, backlog grooming, sprint planning, and working closely with cross-disciplinary development teams.
• Strong communication skills to translate complex requirements between business, technical, and compliance stakeholders in English, both written and oral.

To thrive in the role, we believe that you appreciate the scale-up phase we are in, where learning and flexibility is needed in combination with a strong drive to build systematic ways of working and implement new tools and methods. We believe you have a strength in following through, attention to details and are driven by creating results. You have a long-term perspective and value both working independently with your team and collaborating with colleagues across different functions and across Europe.
