Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts, VEIR is a U.S.-based designer and manufacturer of category-defining superconducting power delivery systems built for the extreme energy demands of the AI era. By commercializing next-generation superconducting technology into deployable, real-world systems, VEIR delivers ~10× higher power density than conventional options, enabling “speed-to-power” where incremental optimization falls short. VEIR’s initial focus is AI data centers behind the meter, with solutions engineered for repeatable deployment through reference designs and integrated controls, designed to incorporate learnings as deployments scale.
The Role
VEIR is seeking a qualified Lead Engineer to join our System Integration & Heat Transfer team. This individual will play a key role helping characterize our superconducting cable through testbed design, operation, and data analysis. This individual will also assist in design efforts of our proprietary superconducting cable termination.
What You'll Do
Design and operate new testbeds to measure key electrical, thermal, and mechanical performance metrics relevant to the lifetime operation of a superconducting cable.
Analyze experimental data, leveraging domain expertise, published literature and reference material, to derive performance insights relevant to cable design.
Assist in design of subcomponents of the cable termination system involving design reviews, vendor management, procurements, testing, and analysis
Skills You Have
5+ years of experience in mechanical, electrical, thermal, or comparable engineering, with a strong foundation in cryogenic or other thermal systems, electrical engineering basics, test design, and data analysis
Experience in testbed design including sensor selection, setup, and LABVIEW, experience in testing of electrical components a plus.
Experience in data analysis, such as through MATLAB, Python, or similar languages
Experience in mechanical design, CAD, and CAE (COMSOL, ANSYS, etc.) a plus.
A continuous improvement mindset to innovate and optimize system designs.
Strong interpersonal skills for collaboration, vendor management, and team engagement.
Willingness to travel for short durations during product deployment phases.
To be successful in this role
You bring a solid background in engineering, with testing and cryogenic/thermal engineering fundamentals along with electrical engineering basics required for testing a superconducting cable.
You are excited by diving deeply into technical literature and reference material and engaging cross functionally with technical experts at VEIR and elsewhere to derive novel insight.
Known for your precision and your ability to ideate, iterate, and execute complex designs.
You are an outstanding communicator (written and verbal) across all levels of the organization and can work effectively in a fast-paced collaborative environment.
You are a highly motivated, self-starter with a positive approach to problem solving
You are driven by results - you gauge your success in measurable positive impact (not in how much you check off the to do list) and know how to ruthlessly prioritize
You thrive on effectively managing multiple projects with competing priorities that require making decisions under pressure and working under tight deadlines
You are highly curious and solutions-oriented, and excel at deconstructing complex problems into manageable components to develop effective solutions
You are committed to buying into VEIR’s mission and goals, and adopting our core values
