VEIR is a designer and manufacturer of superconducting power delivery systems for AI data centers, delivering ~10× higher power density than conventional alternatives. The company was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts.
You will own the manufacturing strategy for VEIR's Liquid Nitrogen (LIN) cooling system, a complex assembly integrating cryogenic pumps, piping, tanks, and controls. This is a hands-on, high-visibility role at the intersection of design engineering, supplier management, and quality systems.
Key responsibilities include:
• Partner with an external contract fabricator and 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.
• Define and implement a comprehensive quality strategy, including incoming material inspection/qualification (piping, weldments, vacuum-jacketed components, tank, pump assemblies) and final system-level test and qualification plans.
• Develop the quality plan: 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 through 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.
• Develop test protocols (leak checks, vacuum integrity, pressure testing, cryogenic performance validation) to de-risk the system before field deployment.
• Lead pilot and first-article builds, driving root-cause resolution of build issues and feeding learnings back into design and process documentation.
• Build the production process plan (routers, work instructions, fixturing/tooling strategy) in collaboration with the fabricator.
• Drive continuous improvement across pilot and early production builds toward lowest sustainable cost, shortest lead time, and highest quality steady-state production design.
• Manage the fabricator relationship and performance: capability assessment, quoting support, capacity planning, and issue escalation/resolution.
• Interface with supply chain to qualify suppliers and manage component sourcing.
