Director of Product Engineering Simulation
Employment Info
JOB DETAILS
Requirements
- An experienced product leader who has owned the success of a large and complex product area or charter: very comfortable operating across product management, engineering and design; and accountable for outcomes, not just outputs.
- Proven, hands-on success in a technical area you weren’t already an expert in: You’ve walked into an unfamiliar domain, got the dirt under your fingernails, and delivered – This aptitude matters most to us.
- A strong people leader with proven experience directly leading product management and ideally also engineering teams: you lift teams toward cohesion and intention, earn trust quickly, and grow the people around you
- You build context fast and challenge respectfully: You get to the heart of a problem, work alongside teams to understand their engineering challenges, then push from a place of credibility rather than assumption.
- Comfortable going deep, with the judgement to know where to stop: Genuinely driven to understand the substance of what the team does, without trying to out-expert the specialists around you.
- Ruthless on scope and prioritisation, calm under pressure, and able to bring clarity to chaos.
Responsibilities
- Own it like a GM: be accountable for the team’s success end to end, and make sure the big programs actually get done.
- Take on strategic mandates: decide where to invest, which user problems to solve next, and how to take the product into adjacent markets.
- Set product direction and prioritisation: own the vision, set the roadmap, make the calls, and hold scope so the team ships complete, high-quality outcomes rather than leaving work at 80%.
- Lead a cross-functional team: bring product, engineering, and SMEs together, with direct reports across product and engineering and real people-leadership at the core.
- Build sustainable processes and structure that surface the right information and improve delivery outcomes over time.
- Bridge SMEs, developers, and the business: Bringing clarity to a complex, high-context domain and making sure the right expertise reaches the right decisions.
- Get hands-on with the domain and the platform: Dig into the engineering and the tools, and stay close to the real problems utilities and designers face every day. This isn’t a hands-off role – you’ll lead best by understanding the substance.
- Partner across the wider product & engineering org, connecting your area cleanly to the rest of the platform and the broader Neara roadmap.
Desired Qualifications
- Exposure to utilities, energy, structural or electrical engineering, CAD, simulation/FEA, or other physics-based technical platforms.
- Software engineering background
