VP Engineering

VEIR is enabling a new generation of compact, efficient, high‑power, and long‑distance power delivery solutions, solving bottlenecks that exist across the entire electricity value chain, from generation through to data center server racks. VEIR's low voltage superconducting solutions are enabling new power delivery architectures in the world’s largest data centers and our higher voltage solutions are poised to revolutionize the development of electricity transmission and distribution lines.

VEIR is preparing for rapid growth as we seek to solve critical challenges facing data center developers, electricity generation developers, and utilities around the world.

We are seeking a Vice President of Engineering to lead, scale, and strengthen VEIR’s engineering organization. This leader will oversee all engineering functions including LN Infrastructure, Heat Transfer, and Superconducting Systems. They will be responsible for driving execution, building organizational capability, and ensuring VEIR’s technology meets the ambitious performance, reliability, safety, and manufacturability requirements of our customers.

This is a critical hire for VEIR’s next chapter. The ideal candidate is a deeply technical engineering leader who can operate at system‑level altitude, develop robust engineering operating mechanisms, and build and mentor a world‑class team in a fast‑moving, first‑of‑its‑kind technology environment.

• Develop and execute a comprehensive engineering strategy aligned with VEIR’s business objectives, product roadmap, and commercialization timelines.
• Provide strong technical leadership and guidance across Cryogenic Infrastructure, Heat Transfer, and Superconducting Systems, cultivating a culture of innovation, high performance, and continuous improvement.
• Build and scale a high‑performing engineering organization capable of delivering complex hardware systems.
• Recruit, mentor, and support engineering managers and individual contributors; set clear expectations; provide actionable feedback; and partner closely with People Leadership on professional development.
• Work with Product Management and Commercial teams to ensure requirements, performance targets, and customer needs are clearly defined, communicated, and traceable throughout the engineering lifecycle.
• Define and operationalize interactions between leadership teams, ensuring engineering is tightly aligned with Product, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Business Development, and Finance.
• Translate product requirements into detailed engineering designs, technical specifications, and execution plans.
• Stay current on advancements in HTS technology, cryogenics, power transmission, thermal management, and related fields to ensure VEIR maintains a competitive edge.
• Identify and mitigate engineering risks early; proactively resolve technical, schedule, quality, and cost issues.
• Ensure engineering best practices, documentation standards, systems engineering discipline, and design review structures are consistently applied.
• Represent engineering priorities and progress to executive leadership, the board, and key external partners.

• Gain a deep understanding of VEIR’s technology stack, engineering organization, and product development lifecycle, from cryogenic infrastructure to HTS cable systems and system integration.
• Build strong working relationships with engineering managers, technical leads, Product Management, and Commercial teams.
• Conduct a comprehensive assessment of engineering capabilities, processes, tools, documentation, and resourcing gaps.
• Begin establishing clear expectations for engineering execution, communication norms, and decision‑making cadence.
• Develop a point of view on organizational structure, hiring needs, and the engineering roadmap required to support VEIR’s near‑term product goals.

• Become the full point leader on all VEIR product development activities, owning engineering execution, risk management, and cross‑functional integration.
• Execute a hiring plan to expand the engineering organization in partnership with Talent Acquisition and People Leadership.
