VEIR is a company developing a new approach to using high-temperature superconductors for electricity transmission. Its passive evaporative cryogenic cooling delivers 20 times the cooling power per kilogram of nitrogen flow compared to mechanical subcooling. Backed by Unreasonable.
About the role
VEIR is seeking a Commodity Manager to own the Terminations commodity — one of VEIR’s most technically complex, electro-mechanical subsystems. This role will lead the contract manufacturing (CM) sourcing program for terminations, identifying and qualifying partners capable of supporting VEIR from early prototype builds through volume production.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of experience in supply chain, commodity management, or strategic sourcing, with direct experience managing contract manufacturers
- A technical engineering background, mechanical engineering preferred
- Demonstrated experience setting up and managing contract manufacturers for electro-mechanical assemblies
- Experience developing RFIs and RFQs in partnership with engineering teams, from prototype-level through production-intent sourcing
- Familiarity with NPI stage-gate processes and PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) is strongly preferred
- Experience negotiating supplier agreements, commercial terms, and multi-sourcing strategies
More about this role
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.
