VEIR is seeking a Program Manager to drive the product development lifecycle of VEIR’s superconducting systems. This role will sit at the center of VEIR’s product execution, connecting technical and commercial teams, suppliers, and leadership to ensure milestones are met, deliverables are aligned, and our superconducting systems are market-ready in a timely fashion.

You’ll partner closely with the Product Manager and cross-functional engineering teams to manage program schedules, track interdependencies, facilitate technical and operational communication, and keep the team accountable to VEIR’s stage-gate development process.

This is a unique opportunity to play a central role in bringing VEIR’s breakthrough superconducting technology to market. VEIR’s systems are the first commercial products, enabling efficient, compact power distribution for data centers and other critical facilities. As Program Manager, you’ll help turn cutting-edge R&D into a deployable, market-ready product, coordinating the technical execution that transforms a novel idea into real-world impact.

In the First 3–6 Months, you will

• Develop a deep understanding of VEIR’s cable technology, product requirements, and target applications.
• Build strong relationships with the Product Manager, Technical Leads, and cross-functional engineering and commercial teams.
• Establish clear development plan and milestone schedules aligned with VEIR’s product stage-gate process.
• Identify risks, dependencies, and mitigation plans across technical workstreams.
• Begin leading recurring program syncs, maintaining action trackers, and ensuring technical deliverables are completed on time.
• Implement and maintain VEIR’s documentation standards and project management tools to drive visibility and alignment across teams.

By the End of Year One, you will

• Fully own the execution of one of VEIR’s superconducting development programs, from design through qualification, pilot manufacturing, and customer validation.
• Ensure the product meets performance, cost, and schedule targets, coordinating across internal engineering, supply chain, test, and external vendors.
• Maintain and communicate program status updates to leadership, highlighting progress, challenges, and critical path decisions.
• Drive continuous improvement in VEIR’s program management practices and cross-functional collaboration.
• Support readiness for pilot installations, certification milestones, and transition to scaled production.

To Be Successful in This Role, You’ll Bring

• 5+ years of experience managing complex engineering programs in power systems, energy technology, or utility infrastructure (e.g., cables, switchgear, electrical assemblies, or transmission/distribution equipment).
• Proven ability to manage technical schedules, budgets, and milestones across multiple teams and stakeholders.
• Experience leading stage-gate or phase-gate development programs, ideally in hardware or electro-mechanical product environments.
• Strong understanding of engineering documentation, configuration management, and change control processes.
• Excellent organizational and communication skills. You’re able to translate technical requirements to non-technical stakeholders and commercial requirements to technical stakeholders.
• A hands-on, proactive approach. You identify gaps early, ask good questions, and drive issues to closure.
• Familiarity with power systems standards (IEC, IEEE, UL) and/or utility customer requirements is highly desirable.
• Proficiency in program management and collaboration tools (e.g., Monday.com, Jira, Confluence, or similar).
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or related technical field; PMP or equivalent certification a plus.
