Senior Technical Product Manager - Cryogenic Infrastructure & Controls

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.

The Role

As Hardware Product Manager - Cryogenic Systems & Controls at VEIR, you will own the product strategy, development, and lifecycle for VEIR's cryogenic systems and associated control architectures, from early concept through commercialization. This role is deeply focused on complex, tightly integrated hardware-software systems, spanning cryogenic cooling hardware, sensors, controls, instrumentation, and system-level performance.

You will act as the single-threaded owner for this product area, translating system-level requirements, including thermal performance, reliability, operability, and safety, into clear technical specifications and prioritized product roadmaps. You'll work closely with cryogenics, mechanical, electrical, controls, software, manufacturing, quality, and commercial teams to ensure systems are designed for performance, scalability, and real-world deployment.

This is an ideal role for a product manager who wants to operate close to the physics, embedded with engineering teams, and accountable for delivering first-of-their-kind cryogenic systems that underpin VEIR's core technology.

In the first 3 months, you will

• Ramp up on VEIR's cryogenic system architecture, including cooling loops, thermal interfaces, instrumentation, control logic, fault handling, and operational modes.
• Develop a strong understanding of system requirements and constraints, including temperature stability, redundancy, uptime, safety, and maintainability.
• Partner with engineering to understand current designs, open technical risks, and system-level tradeoffs.
• Conduct voice-of-customer (VoC) discovery with internal stakeholders, pilot customers, and field teams to understand operational needs and failure modes.
• Create product strategy and system definition documents outlining use cases, performance requirements, interfaces, cost targets, and deployment assumptions.

In the first 6 months, you will

• Own system-level product requirements for cryogenic hardware and controls, translating customer, operational, and regulatory needs into clear specifications.
• Lead NPI stage-gate execution for cryogenic systems and controls, ensuring alignment from concept through prototype, validation, and pilot readiness.
• Partner closely with controls, software, and hardware engineering teams to define control strategies, sensor requirements, alarms, interlocks, and operational workflows.
• Collaborate with manufacturing and supply chain to ensure systems are designed for buildability, repeatability, and serviceability.
• Serve as the product subject-matter expert supporting applications, field deployment, and early customer pilots.

By the end of your first year, you will have

• Defined and executed the product roadmap for VEIR's cryogenic systems and controls, balancing near-term delivery with long-term platform evolution.
• Successfully driven one or more cryogenic system configurations through pilot deployment or launch, meeting performance, reliability, and safety targets.
• Developed technical and operational collateral, including system specifications, control philosophy documentation, and operational guides.
• Clearly articulated value propositions and differentiation for VEIR's cryogenic approach relative to alternative cooling solutions.
• Acted as the cross-functional product leader, aligning cryogenics, controls, software, manufacturing, quality, and commercial teams.
• Supported deployments as the system-level product owner, guiding configuration decisions, operational tuning,…
