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.\nThe Role\nOwn the coordination and allocation of lab resources across VEIR's lab test operations, ensuring technician time, equipment, and testbeds are assigned efficiently to meet engineering priorities. Bring the engineering depth to scope, challenge, prioritize, and troubleshoot test requests. Plan and organize testing activities within VEIR's internal labs, own external test programs with partner facilities, and keep VEIR's labs safe, organized, and test-ready.\nDirect Reports: Approximately 7 lab technicians, plus temporary lab staff as needed\nTravel: Approximately 10-15% to external test partners and facilities\nCore Responsibilities\nAssign and coordinate technician and lab resources across concurrent, competing test campaigns (e.g., electrical, mechanical, thermal, and environmental testing)\nSupervise lab technicians and temporary lab staff, including day-to-day direction, performance feedback, and development\nServe as the primary point of contact for engineers and program leads requesting lab or technician support; triage and prioritize competing resource requests across teams\nMaintain working technical fluency in test methods, testbeds, and instrumentation sufficient to evaluate scope, staffing needs, risk, and realistic timelines for incoming test requests\nForecast technician and temporary staffing needs based on upcoming test volume, hardware build schedules, and program pipeline; make the case for additional resources when needed\nOwn planning and execution of external test programs (e.g., KEMA, third-party test labs, factory acceptance testing, on-site equipment vendors), including securing test slots, test readiness, staffing, logistics, and equipment coordination; evaluate and onboard new partner labs\nLead planning and scheduling for system integration testing (SIT), coordinating resources, test readiness, and schedule with program leads\nTrack ongoing test activities, resource allocation, and schedule commitments using shared tracking tools (e.g., Monday.com boards) to keep a centralized, up-to-date view of lab workload\nPartner with engineering and program leads to sequence test campaigns, resolve scheduling conflicts, and keep the lab from being overcommitted\nOwn the lab budget, including test equipment capex planning, consumables, and external test spend; provide inputs to budget reforecasts\nManage the test equipment lifecycle: calibration, preventive maintenance, asset inventory, and specification and procurement of new instrumentation and test equipment\nEstablish and maintain test procedures, test records, and data management practices; support customer witness tests and third-party certification testing\nMaintain lab organization, housekeeping (5S), and readiness across VEIR's Woburn sites, including for customer and investor visits\nPartner with Facilities/Operations to ensure test infrastructure (power, cryogenic supply, testbed installation) is ready ahead of test campaigns, with clear handoffs between lab and facilities ownership\nChampion a strong lab safety culture: ensure test activities are planned and staffed with appropriate safety reviews, hazard assessments, PPE, training, and procedures (e.g., high voltage, high current, cryogenics and LN2 handling, oxygen-deficiency hazards, pressurized systems, lifting/rigging), and that safety requirements are factored into scheduling and resourcing decisions; partner with EHS on incidents, lab access controls, and corrective actions\nSupport onboarding and ramp-up of new technicians and temporary lab staff\nEscalate resourcing gaps, safety concerns, or schedule risks to leadership with clear tradeoffs\nCollaborate with People/HR on technician role definitions, job leveling, and hiring needs as the lab organization grows\nRequired Qualifications and Competencies\nStrong project and resource management skills; comfortable running multiple concurrent workstreams with shifting priorities\n5+ years of experience in engineering test, lab, or test operations environments, including people or team leadership; engineering background (e.g., degree or equivalent experience in electrical, mechanical, or a related discipline) with the ability to understand technical test plans, instrumentation, and data well enough to make informed staffing, scheduling, and prioritization decisions\nWorking knowledge of lab safety practices and hazard controls (e.g., electrical safety, lockout/tagout, cryogenic safety, job hazard analyses) and a commitment to making safety a non-negotiable part of test planning\nExperience coordinating with external vendors, test facilities, or contractors\nStrong communication and stakeholder management across engineers, technicians, and leadership\nSound judgment under ambiguity; able to make prioritization calls and clearly communicate tradeoffs\nFamiliarity with project tracking tools and comfort building lightweight processes to keep work visible\nOrganized and detail-oriented, with the ability to plan several weeks to months ahead while adapting to day-to-day changes\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with high-voltage or utility-scale power equipment testing, including relevant IEEE/IEC test standards\nExperience with cryogenic systems, superconducting (HTS) technology, or related test environments\nExperience managing test programs at external high-power or certification labs\nExperience owning a lab or test budget, including capex planning\nSuccess Measures\nTest campaigns start on schedule with the right people, equipment, and procedures in place\nA current, centralized view of lab capacity and commitments that leadership can rely on for planning\nZero recordable safety incidents, with safety reviews completed ahead of every test campaign\nAdditional Information\nPhysical requirements: Regular on-site lab presence; ability to wear required PPE and to lift up to 50 lbs.\nVEIR is committed to equal pay for equal work in its compensation practices.
