About The Position

At Daimler Truck North America (DTNA), we are driven by a vision to keep the world moving and revolutionize the way our customers interact with their vehicles through cutting-edge connected vehicle products and services.

This work requires close coordination across product, design, engineering, and business teams to align priorities, manage dependencies, and deliver high-quality outcomes for customers.

Responsibilities

Translate Product Manager requirements (PRDs, epics, business rules) into clear, sprint-ready user stories.
Author acceptance criteria and definition-of-done for each story so the team knows exactly what “built and done” means; review and confirm with the owning PM.
Maintain backlog hygiene and in-sprint prioritization across related product areas, keeping stories groomed, ordered, and ready.
Run backlog refinement sessions and drive story readiness ahead of each sprint.
Own sprint-planning inputs — what is ready and in what order — and make day-to-day, in-sprint scope tradeoffs with the responsible PM.
Partner with developers throughout the sprint on clarifications, estimation, and unblocking.
Coordinate release readiness and regression activities with development teams and cross-functional partners to help ensure quality before launch.
Prepare UAT test cases from acceptance criteria, coordinate testers, and log and track defects to resolution.
Perform story-level QA and confirm work meets acceptance criteria before it reaches PM sign-off and go/no-go.
Partner with the UX/UI team on story-level design hand-offs.
Work with program and product partners on dependencies. Escalate blockers and risks early.
Communicate clear, timely status to product, program, design, engineering, and business partners.
