HTS Test Engineer

Woburn, Massachusetts, United States

WHY VEIR?

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.

The Role

VEIR is seeking an HTS Test Engineer to play a key role in the development and validation of our high-temperature superconducting (HTS) cable technology. In this role, you will support the design and execution of laboratory test campaigns that ensure the performance, reliability, and scalability of VEIR’s superconducting cables. You’ll work hands-on with advanced electrical and cryogenic systems, contribute to testing methodologies, and translate results into insights that directly inform cable design improvements. 

This is an opportunity to grow into a technical owner of VEIR’s HTS test campaigns and make a measurable impact on the future of energy transmission. This is an entry level position.

In Your First 3-6 months you will...

  • Adapt and pivot test campaigns based on interim results to accelerate learning. 
  • Deliver clear reports and recommendations that influence cable design decisions. 
  • Surface opportunities for design improvements through test analysis and collaboration with engineering teams. 

To be successful in this role

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical or mechanical engineering (electrical engineering preferred). 
  • Understanding of DC/AC test methodologies. 
  • Experience using LabVIEW with oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, and other electronic measurement systems. 
  • Ability to conduct repeatable test campaigns and deliver accurate reports to engineering teams. 
  • Skilled in analyzing test data, with the ability to recommend design improvements. 
  • Basic soldering experience. 
  • Python coding, data analytics, and scientific modeling experience (preferred). 
  • Strong problem-solving mindset with curiosity to understand how systems behave and why tests succeed or fail. 
  • Effective communicator able to summarize complex findings for technical audiences.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
