Director, Product - Engineering Simulation

Imagine having the power to stress-test an entire power grid against a hurricane or thunderstorm before the clouds even gather. That is the reality we are creating at Neara. We use advanced machine learning to create engineering-grade, physics enabled digital twins of electricity grids across four continents, this helps asset owners understand their biggest challenges and bring the most viable solutions to life across millions of kilometres of infrastructure. By simulating extreme weather and structural stress at a network-wide scale, we empower the world’s largest utilities to pinpoint risks, optimise investments and build a more resilient global energy future. Our team is a collection of brilliant minds who are fanatical about making a tangible difference in the real world, utilising AI and machine learning to accelerate everything from data classification to complex scenario analysis. We have built a special culture where innovation thrives because everyone owns the mission and we need smart, creative people to help us scale this impact to every corner of the globe. Our Design product group builds the engineering-grade modelling and design tools that utilities and their engineers rely on to plan, design, and maintain electrical networks. We don't do hypothetical: Working hand-in-hand with structural engineers, the team translates real-world physics, network design logic, and CAD-style editing straight into the product - From finite element analysis and structural simulation to LiDAR-driven 3D models of entire networks. This is highly specialised software that professionals trust to design the grid itself, and it's the crux of what makes Neara physics-enabled. We're looking for a Director of Product to lead this team and own its charter - the strategy, roadmap, and delivery for this stream - and take it to the next level. The role runs like a mini-GM seat: you're accountable for its success end to end, leading a cross-functional team of engineers, subject-matter e
