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
You will partner with an external fabricator and our internal engineering team to take this system from prototype through a scalable, high-quality, cost-effective production design. This is a hands-on, high-visibility role for someone who thrives at the intersection of design engineering, supplier management, and quality systems.
What they're looking for
- Partner with a contract fabricator and our internal mechanical/controls engineering teams to optimize the LIN skid design for lead time, cost, and quality
- Own Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) reviews across the skid, piping, tank, and controls room integration
- Own the quality plan for the system: PFMEA, control plans, inspection and test plans (ITPs), and critical-to-quality (CTQ) feature definition with measurement methods and acceptance criteria
- Establish weld quality controls with the fabricator — WPS/PQR review, welder qualification, and NDE requirements (visual, dye penetrant, radiographic) tied to ASME B31.3 and applicable code requirements
- Drive supplier quality: first article inspection (FAI/PPAP-style) approvals, source inspection, supplier audits, and corrective action follow-through on critical components
- Build the as-built quality documentation package for each skid (material test reports, weld maps and NDE records, pressure/leak test records, calibration and traceability) for internal and code acceptance
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.
The Role
We are seeking a Lead Manufacturing Engineer to own the manufacturing strategy for our Liquid Nitrogen (LIN) cooling system. This system integrates a variety of cryogenic pumps, piping and tanks.
