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
We are seeking a Lead Manufacturing Engineer to own the manufacturing strategy for our termination assembly, a critical high-power component in our system. You will identify and develop a contract manufacturing (CM) partner, optimize the design for manufacturability, and build the quality and test infrastructure needed to scale from pilot builds to full production.
What they're looking for
- Identify, evaluate, and onboard a contract manufacturer capable of producing the termination assembly at the required cost, quality, and volume
- Partner with the CM and our internal engineering team to optimize the termination assembly design for manufacturability, cost, and lead time (DFM/DFA)
- Define and implement a quality strategy for the assembly, including incoming material inspection/qualification and finished-assembly test and qualification plans, to remove risk before the product ships
- Establish in-process inspection at the CM: define inspection points and sampling plans, measurement/gauging methods, and first-article inspection (FAI) requirements, and audit the CM's adherence and inspection records
- Develop test protocols appropriate for a high-power termination assembly (e.g., dielectric/hi-pot testing, torque/connection integrity, thermal cycling, contact resistance) to validate performance and safety
- Lead pilot builds at the CM, driving root-cause resolution of build and process issues and feeding learnings back into design and work instructions
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.
