About The Position

VEIR is seeking a qualified Lead Engineer to join our System Integration & Heat Transfer team. This individual will play a key role helping characterize our superconducting cable through testbed design, operation, and data analysis. This individual will also assist in design efforts of our proprietary superconducting cable termination.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in mechanical, electrical, thermal, or comparable engineering, with a strong foundation in cryogenic or other thermal systems, electrical engineering basics, test design, and data analysis
• Experience in testbed design including sensor selection, setup, and LABVIEW
• Experience in data analysis, such as through MATLAB, Python, or similar languages
• A continuous improvement mindset to innovate and optimize system designs.
• Strong interpersonal skills for collaboration, vendor management, and team engagement.
• Willingness to travel for short durations during product deployment phases.
• Solid background in engineering, with testing and cryogenic/thermal engineering fundamentals along with electrical engineering basics required for testing a superconducting cable.
• Ability to dive deeply into technical literature and reference material and engaging cross functionally with technical experts at VEIR and elsewhere to derive novel insight.
• Precision and ability to ideate, iterate, and execute complex designs.
• Outstanding communicator (written and verbal) across all levels of the organization and can work effectively in a fast-paced collaborative environment.
• Highly motivated, self-starter with a positive approach to problem solving.
• Driven by results - gauge success in measurable positive impact (not in how much you check off the to do list) and know how to ruthlessly prioritize.
• Thrive on effectively managing multiple projects with competing priorities that require making decisions under pressure and working under tight deadlines.
• Highly curious and solutions-oriented, and excel at deconstructing complex problems into manageable components to develop effective solutions.
• Committed to buying into VEIR’s mission and goals, and adopting our core values.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in testing of electrical components a plus.
• Experience in mechanical design, CAD, and CAE (COMSOL, ANSYS, etc.) a plus.

Responsibilities

• Design and operate new testbeds to measure key electrical, thermal, and mechanical performance metrics relevant to the lifetime operation of a superconducting cable.
• Analyze experimental data, leveraging domain expertise, published literature and reference material, to derive performance insights relevant to cable design.
• Assist in design of subcomponents of the cable termination system involving design reviews, vendor management, procurements, testing, and analysis.

Benefits

• Healthcare coverage with 100% employer paid premiums for medical, dental, and vision
• 401(k) Retirement Savings Program
• 12 Company Holidays + unmetered PTO
• 12 Weeks 100% Paid Parental Leave for all new parents
