Senior Mechanical Engineer

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.

VEIR is seeking a qualified Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our System Integration & Heat Transfer team. This individual will play a critical role in the component design, system design, and mechanical analysis of VEIR’s superconducting systems, and help develop our first major commercial products. This engineer will be responsible for a major segment of the mechanical design, driving it from concept phase through detailed design and into production.

• Serve as a subject matter expert in mechanical, thermal, and structural design for custom components and multi-process assemblies used in superconducting systems.
• Own and lead the design, development, and testing of key assemblies for low-voltage and medium-voltage superconducting systems, from concept through to fabrication.
• Conduct detailed mechanical and structural analysis using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to assess design and reliability, accounting for thermal, mechanical, and electrical interactions.
• Define mechanical requirements and oversee qualification testing for system components, managing both in-house and external resources.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to support system deployment, ensuring the integration of cryogenic thermal management systems.
• Review design calculations, drawings, and submittals from junior engineers, mentoring and guiding them in their development.

• 7+ years of experience in mechanical engineering, with a strong foundation in mechanical, structural, & thermal analysis.
• End-to-end experience across the product development life cycle: from concept development, thru preliminary & detailed design, and into production.
• Skilled in mechanical design via CAD, design for assembly of complex multi-body assemblies, first-order structural & thermal calculations, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software for detailed analysis.
• Experience creating engineering drawings for external fabrication.
• Familiar with industry standards like ASME 31.3 and/or BPVC, with experience designing pressure vessels or similar components.
• Skilled in coding with MATLAB, Python, or similar languages is a plus.
• A continuous improvement mindset to innovate and optimize system designs.
• Strong interpersonal skills for collaboration, vendor management, and team mentoring.
• Willingness to travel for short durations during product deployment phases.

• You bring a solid background in mechanical engineering, ideally with extensive experience in structural mechanics, thermal analysis, and FEA.
• Known for your precision and your ability to ideate, iterate, and execute complex designs.
• You are an outstanding communicator (written and verbal) across all levels of the organization and can work effectively in a fast-paced collaborative environment.
• You are…
