Head of Product Design - Remote (m/w/d)

Piq Energy's Product Manager will own products end-to-end, from understanding customer needs through development, rollout, and iteration. You'll work alongside product-minded software engineers and power systems engineers to build a purpose-built agentic grid planning and interconnection platform for developers and utilities.
You'll be hands-on every day: lead a discovery call, sketch a workflow, weigh in on a design, write a spec, build a prototype, investigate an agent failure, and work with Engineering to ship the next improvement. You'll own customer discovery and build relationships with both the power systems experts and the non-technical users (e.g. developers and executives) who use our products. You'll translate what you learn into products that complete real planning work reliably, make their results understandable, and earn customers' trust.
Grid-planning expertise is preferred, but not required. Own Discovery: Lead customer conversations yourself. Understand how power systems experts and project developers work. Decide What Ships Next: Identify the most valuable problem to solve and scope a useful first release. Make tradeoffs explicit, resolve ambiguity, and sequence work so the team can ship, learn, and improve quickly. Balance immediate customer needs with improvements that benefit the broader product, and proven wins with new bets.
Make expected behavior, acceptance criteria, and important edge cases concrete enough for the team to build and test. Our grid planning and interconnection platform needs to "just work" the way we all expect agentic products to work.
Build and Ship: Use code and AI development tools to prototype workflows, test ideas, and, where it makes sense, ship improvements yourself. Work hand-in-hand with Engineering on larger changes, staying involved in implementation decisions, testing, and rollout. Remove blockers and follow through until customers can use what we build.
Own Agent Product Quality: Partner with power systems engineers to turn expert judgment and real customer tasks into evaluation cases. Close the Loop After Launch: Measure whether customers complete their work successfully and adopt what we ship. Review usage, customer feedback, and product behavior to identify the next improvement. Fix confusing interactions and recurring failures alongside new capabilities, and communicate changes clearly to customers and customer-facing teams.
5+ years building and shipping technical software products in product management, engineering, or a combination of both, with a track record of independently owning products from discovery through launch and iteration.

• You can identify a valuable first version, make sound decisions with incomplete information, and learn from shipping while holding a clear bar for quality.
• Experience building with LLMs or agents, with a practical understanding of their capabilities, failure modes, and how to evaluate whether they accomplish a task reliably. Strong customer discovery skills. Clear written and visual communication. You can express a product decision through a concise spec, mockup, prototype, or evaluation case and choose the format that helps the team move forward.
• Passion for grid planning and interconnection, and demonstrated ability to become effective in an unfamiliar technical domain.

Experience shipping agentic products used by technical professionals to complete complex work.
Hands-on building ability. You can write and debug code, work with APIs and data, and use AI development tools to turn an idea into a working prototype or scoped product improvement.
Experience building evaluation datasets, inspecting agent traces, or turning expert feedback into repeatable quality tests.
Early-stage startup experience working closely with engineers and customers to take products from an initial idea to sustained use.
