Mechanical Engineer - System Integration

Woburn, Massachusetts, United States

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 

VEIR is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to join our System Integration & Heat Transfer team. This individual will contribute to the mechanical design and analysis of VEIR's superconducting cable and related components, supporting the development of our first major commercial products under the guidance of senior engineers.

In the first three months you will... 

  • Onboard into VEIR's design environment, tools, and processes, gaining familiarity with our superconducting cable architecture and related component designs. 
  • Contribute to mechanical and structural design tasks for low-voltage and medium-voltage superconducting system components using CAD and first-order calculations. 
  • Learn VEIR's engineering drawing standards and begin generating drawings for review by senior engineers. 
  • Support testing activities for system components, including setup, data collection, and documentation. 
  • Build working relationships with teammates across engineering disciplines. 

In the first six months you will... 

  • Take ownership of defined design tasks within larger component development efforts, executing from concept through preliminary design with regular check-ins. 
  • Develop and iterate on CAD models and engineering drawings, incorporating feedback to meet design and fabrication requirements. 
  • Apply structural and thermal analysis methods to validate design decisions, escalating complex issues to senior team members as appropriate. 
  • Support cross-functional collaboration with the cryogenic thermal management and systems teams on integration-related design questions. 
  • Begin contributing to test planning and qualification documentation for assigned components. 

By the end of your first year you will... 

  • Independently execute mechanical design tasks for assigned components, delivering designs that meet requirements and are ready for fabrication. 
  • Produce complete engineering drawing packages with minimal revision cycles from senior review. 
  • Demonstrate working proficiency in structural and thermal analysis relevant to superconducting cable components. 
  • Actively contribute to continuous improvement efforts within the team, surfacing design insights and proposing optimizations. 
  • Build credibility as a reliable contributor on the team, with growing awareness of how your component work integrates into the broader system. 

To be successful in this role... 

You bring: 

  • 0-5 years of experience in mechanical engineering, with a foundation in structural and/or thermal analysis. 
  • Proficiency in CAD tools for mechanical design (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, or equivalent). 
  • Ability to perform first-order structural and thermal calculations to support design decisions. 
  • Experience or coursework in product development, including some exposure to design-through-fabrication workflows. 
  • Ability to generate clear engineering drawings suitable for external fabrication. 
  • BA/BS in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field. 
  • Experience with MATLAB, Python, or similar scripting tools is a plus. 
  • Some experience or direct exposure to high temperature superconductors (HTS), cryogenic systems, or cable systems is required. This can include academic research, lab work, internships, or early-career professional experience. 

You are: 

  • Precise and detail-oriented, with a track record of producing accurate, well-documented work. 
  • Collaborative and communicative, able to clearly explain your work in writing and in team settings. 
  • A continuous learner who is open to feedback and eager to develop depth in a technically demanding domain. 
  • Motivated by results and comfortable working through ambiguity in a fast-paced startup environment. 
  • Organized and able to manage your own tasks and priorities with regular guidance from senior staff. 
  • Committed to VEIR's mission and aligned with our core values.

As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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.
