Product Advisor
Discovery is growing, and we want you to be part of our journey!
We are looking for a Product Advisor for HUGIN Autonomous Underwater Vehicles in our Uncrewed Platforms division.
HUGIN AUVs are world-leading and widely regarded as the de facto standard in the underwater survey market. Our portfolio ranges from medium-sized systems to deep-water AUVs operating at depths down to 6,000 metres and large long-endurance vehicles. By joining us, you will help shape the continued development and application of some of the world’s most advanced autonomous underwater technology.
As Product Advisor, you will join the Survey AUV product team. Your main focus will be our deep-water HUGIN AUVs, with some involvement in related launch and recovery, handling and topside systems.
Technical sales support will be a central part of your role. You will own and coordinate product input to customer opportunities and proposals, working with Sales, Engineering, R&D and other technical functions. Your task is not to provide every technical answer yourself, but to involve the right specialists and ensure that the proposed solution is feasible, clearly scoped and aligned with our product portfolio.
You will also represent the product perspective in development projects, support Customer Support with complex product questions and help connect customer needs, operational experience and product development. Together with the Product Manager, you will contribute to maintaining a coherent view of the product throughout its lifecycle.
What you will be doing
- Own and coordinate technical product support for customer opportunities, proposals and bids
- Translate customer and operational needs into clear requirements, assumptions and technical input
- Represent the product perspective in development projects, contribute to technical and prioritization discussions, and escalate product commitments when required
- Connect Sales, Customer Support, Engineering, R&D, projects and production, ensuring that questions reach the right owners
- Collect experience from customers, projects, field operations and support cases, and use it to support product improvements and roadmap development
Your qualifications
- A bachelor’s or master’s degree in engineering or another relevant technical discipline. Relevant experience may compensate for formal education.
- Experience with complex technical products or systems, preferably within maritime, subsea, autonomous systems or defence.
- Experience in technical sales support, systems engineering, product management, project work or customer support.
- A good understanding of system integration and the interaction between hardware, software, sensors and operations.
- Experience with AUVs, autonomous systems, subsea technology or HUGIN products is a clear advantage.
- Fluent spoken and written English. Fluency in spoken and written Norwegian is beneficial.
You are able to
- Work independently with complex product and customer questions.
- Create structure, maintain oversight and coordinate input across technical disciplines.
- Communicate clearly with customers, specialists and stakeholders at different levels.
- Recognise when to involve specialists and when decisions or commitments should be escalated.
- Balance customer needs, technical feasibility and long-term product priorities.
- Build effective collaboration across Sales, Engineering, R&D, Customer Support, projects and production.
