Product Owner

Product Owner — Energy & Building Systems

India (Hybrid) · Full-Time · Senior Individual Contributor

About THE Role

We are looking for a Product Owner who understands buildings — not just as abstract systems, but as operational environments where energy costs are real, downtime is costly, and occupant experience matters. You will be the bridge between the facilities world and the engineering team building Aqueduct.

This role requires genuine domain depth. If you have spent time with facility managers, energy auditors, BMS operators, or HVAC vendors — and you can translate those conversations into sharp product requirements — you are the person we are looking for.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

Product requirements and feature roadmap for the Aqueduct platform

AI-Augmented Product Features:

Define and prioritise AI use cases: predictive fault detection, energy forecasting, natural language facility queries

Work with engineering to shape how AI/ML outputs are surfaced to operators in the twin interface

Evaluate AI feature performance using domain-grounded metrics, not just model accuracy

Digital Twin Product Definition:

Define what the digital twin should represent at each stage of deployment

Specify twin fidelity levels: schema, sensor mapping, control loop integration

Drive decisions on twin use cases: predictive maintenance, energy simulation, what-if analysis

Domain Translation:

Convert real-world facility problems — HVAC inefficiency, energy spikes, poor IAQ — into product features

Define KPIs: kW/TR, Delta-T, COP, equipment uptime, IAQ indices

Stakeholder Management:

Work directly with customers, facility operators, and energy teams

Support pre-sales, solution design, and customer demos

Engineering Collaboration:

Write crisp user stories and acceptance criteria

Prioritize backlog with clear business justification

Competitive intelligence: understand where the market is heading and position Aqueduct accordingly

REQUIRED BACKGROUND

Strong domain knowledge in Energy Management Systems (EMS) and Building Management Systems (BMS)

Deep understanding of HVAC systems, utility metering, and building energy optimization

Experience working directly with facility operators, energy managers, or asset owners

Understanding of digital twin concepts in building or infrastructure contexts:

Familiarity with BIM, digital twin platforms, or smart building ecosystems is highly valued

Ability to define what good twin fidelity means for different operational use cases

Demonstrated ability to write product requirements that engineering teams can act on

Prior customer-facing experience: pre-sales, solution consulting, or account management

MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS

Non-Negotiable: Prior experience in a customer-facing or commercial role. You must be able to present to facility directors, justify ROI, and handle technical objections. This is not a back-office role.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

Product features that facility operators adopt without training — because they match real workflows

A digital twin definition that gives customers a clear, differentiated view of their buildings

Measurable reduction in energy consumption and reactive maintenance across customer sites

Sales and delivery teams who trust you to anchor customer conversations with product credibility
