Implementation Engineer: Transmission Line & Structural Design

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. As an Implementation Engineer (Transmission Line & Structural Design), you'll join a growing team in India supporting our delivery and pre-sales functions, working closely with our product, sales, and development teams in Australia and the US. This is a hybrid role on our deployment and customer success track: customer-facing, but technically deep. Your core strength is overhead transmission line design, and you are comfortable with the structural side of it, including towers, poles, and the loads they carry. You'll bring that background to Neara, where your day-to-day involves helping clients rapidly build and compare transmission line designs on our platform. That means ingesting their data and constraints, spotting structures, evaluating multiple route/design options, and watching cost, loads, and clearance metrics update in real time. Your design experience is what lets you do this credibly: speaking the client's language, understanding how they design lines today with legacy tools like PLS-CADD, and building their confidence in Neara's outputs. When transmission demand is lighter, you'll contribute to our core India delivery, covering model build, QA, and other US client projects (including GIS and LiDAR work). Note: You won't be hired to deliver PLS-CADD projects as a service. That experience is highly valued so you can understand how clients work today, compare their designs with Neara critically, and speak their language. The day-to-day focus is strictly on Neara. Some of the Things You Will Contribute To (Not All at Once) - Design Optimization: Building and iterating transmission line designs in Neara for clients by ingesting their layers and constraints, spotting structures, and rapidly evaluating/comparing route and design options against live cost, loads, and clearance metrics. - Data Integration: Translating customers' transmission designs (tower libraries, structure lists, plan-and-profile sheets, foundation drawings) into Neara projects. - Structural Mapping: Mapping structural concepts (wind span, weight span, line angles, load cases, clearances, tension vs. suspension structures, foundations) into how Neara represents and calculates them. - Workflow Migration: Helping customers compare Neara's outputs with their current PLS-CADD / PLS-TOWER workflows, and proposing practical migration paths. - Client Engagement: Joining pre-sales demos and deployment sessions with Indian clients, fielding structural and tower-design questions, and building trust in Neara's outputs. - Technical Ownership: Owning "what structures make sense" when colleagues configure routes and constraints, alongside doing a fair share of the GIS/spatial work yourself. - Value & Efficiency: Independently conducting basic ROI calculations: measuring the time and cost of customers' existing workflows and understanding/measuring what efficiencies Neara solutions generate. - Core Del…
