<div>WHY VEIR?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.</div>The Role  VEIR is seeking a Principal Electrical Engineer to serve as the technical authority on all aspects of electrical systems integration and compliance. Reporting to the Sr. Manager – Superconducting Systems, this individual will own the interface between VEIR's superconducting power delivery equipment and datacenter distribution infrastructure — translating customer facility requirements into rigorous integration specifications, driving connector and component design for seamless infrastructure interoperability, and establishing the compliance and standards framework that governs how VEIR designs, tests, and deploys its systems. This is a high-ownership individual contributor role at the intersection of hardware, systems architecture, and regulatory compliance. The right candidate brings deep datacenter power distribution experience, a command of applicable electrical standards (NEC, IEC, UL), and the engineering judgment to operate effectively in a fast-paced, commercial/scale-up environment where the technical decisions made today will shape VEIR's product roadmap for years to come. What You’ll Do Electrical Systems Integration <ul><li>Own the electrical integration interface designs between VEIR system and datacenter distribution systems, from medium-voltage (MV) switchgear and transformers through low-voltage (LV) switchgear, busway, PDUs, power sidecars, and rack busbars. </li><li>Drive VEIR system / sub-system / component product development with deep knowledge of: <ul><li>datacenter electrical system-level integration specifications, single-line diagrams, protection architectures </li><li>datacenter applicable standards and certification requirements </li><li>datacenter installation, commissioning and operations requirements </li></ul></li></ul>Connector &amp; Component Design <ul><li>Lead the technical definition and qualification of electrical connectors, terminations, and interface components that integrate VEIR’s cryogenic systems with conventional power infrastructure. </li><li>Drive/support component-level design reviews, failure mode analysis (FMEA), and qualification test planning for all electrical interface hardware. </li><li>Work with procurement and supply chain to identify and qualify connector and component suppliers that meet VEIR’s performance and reliability standards.  </li></ul>Standards, Compliance &amp; Test <ul><li>Establish and maintain VEIR’s electrical compliance framework, identifying applicable standards (NEC, NFPA 70E, IEC 61439, IEC 62271, UL 508A, and relevant datacenter standards including TIA-942 and Uptime Tier requirements) across the design, test, and deployment lifecycle. </li><li>Translate regulatory and customer-specific requirements into testable design constraints and acceptance criteria for VEIR subsystems and integrated products. </li><li>Lead or support AHJ interactions, third-party inspections, and listing/approval processes for VEIR electrical systems. </li><li>Define and maintain system-level electrical test plans and acceptance test procedures (ATPs) for factory and field use. </li></ul>Cross-Functional Technical Leadership <ul><li>Act as the internal technical authority on electrical integration questions, providing guidance to product, systems, and applications engineering teams. </li><li>Represent VEIR’s electrical engineering perspective in customer-facing technical discussions, proposal development, and pre-sales support. </li><li>Contribute to VEIR’s IP strategy by identifying patentable innovations in electrical interface design and integration methodology. </li><li>Mentor junior engineers and contribute to building VEIR’s electrical engineering capability as the team scales. </li></ul>To be successful in this role... You bring: <ul><li>12+ years of professional electrical engineering experience, with a significant portion in high-power datacenter or mission-critical facility environments. </li><li>Direct experience with hyperscale or colocation datacenter electrical distribution systems, including MV switchgear, transformers, UPS, PDUs, and busway. </li><li>Deep working knowledge of NEC (NFPA 70), NFPA 70E, IEC 61439, IEC 62271, and UL standards applicable to power distribution and switchgear. </li><li>Hands-on experience designing, qualifying, or specifying high-current electrical connectors and interface components. </li><li>Experience developing and executing factory acceptance tests (FAT) and site acceptance tests (SAT) for electrical power systems. </li><li>Professional Engineer (PE) license strongly preferred; candidates with equivalent demonstrated expertise will be considered. </li><li>BA/BS in Electrical Engineering required; MS or PhD preferred. </li></ul>You are: <ul><li>A recognized technical expert who can operate independently on complex, open-ended integration problems and lead cross-functional teams to resolution. </li><li>Comfortable working at the intersection of hardware design and systems architecture — equally at home reviewing schematics and presenting integration specs to a customer’s data center operations team. </li><li>A clear, concise communicator who can translate dense technical constraints into actionable requirements for engineering teams and credible narratives for customers and leadership. </li><li>Energized by ambiguity and early-stage product environments where standards are being written, not just followed. </li><li>Collaborative and collegial: you build productive relationships across disciplines and bring others along without ego.  </li></ul>Nice to have: <ul><li>Familiarity with cryogenic systems (liquid helium, liquid nitrogen) and the thermal/material constraints they impose on electrical interfaces. </li><li>Experience with superconducting or cryogenic power delivery applications. </li><li>Knowledge of IEEE Std 3006 series or similar reliability standards for industrial and commercial power systems. </li><li>Prior involvement in AHJ engagements or novel equipment approval processes. </li></ul><div><div>BENEFITS &amp;

VEIR&rsquo;s new generation of superconducting electric transmission lines operate with negligible losses at much higher currents than conventional lines and other advanced conductors. The result is transmission of 5-10x more power than conventional lines at a given voltage level. VEIR reduces the space needed to transmit power, maximizes the transfer capabilities in existing corridors, and reduces requirements for new corridors.
