Lead Mechanical Engineer

About the role

VEIR is a U.S.-based company founded in 2019, headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts. We specialize in designing and manufacturing superconducting power delivery systems tailored for the high-energy demands of the AI era. Our systems offer up to 10 times the power density compared to conventional alternatives, enabling rapid deployment and scalability.

Responsibilities

• Create 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 novel performance insights relevant to cable design.
• Design core components of the cable termination system, involving design reviews, vendor management, procurement, testing, and analysis.

Requirements

• 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 data analysis, such as through MATLAB, Python, or similar languages.
• Experience in mechanical design, CAD, and CAE (COMSOL, ANSYS, etc.).
• 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.

Qualifications

• Known for your precision and your ability to ideate, iterate, and execute complex designs.
• A highly motivated, self-starter with a positive approach to problem solving.
• Driven by results - you gauge your success in measurable positive impact (not in how much you check off the to do list).
• Thrives on effectively managing multiple projects with competing priorities that require making decisions under pressure and working under tight deadlines.
• Highly curious and solutions-oriented, and excel at deconstructing complex problems into manageable components to develop effective solutions.
• Committed to VEIR’s mission and goals, and adopting our core values.
