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\nThe Technical Project Manager drives day-to-day execution of VEIR product development programs against the Product Development Process. This role lives in the detail: building schedules with engineering, product management, supply chain, manufacturing, and operations; tracking deliverables to closure; spotting where one team's slip becomes another team's blocker; and keeping Exit Gate deliverables on track. The role exists to take planning and tracking load off functional leads and to make sure execution is predictable rather than heroic. \nThis is not a reporting role. Technical Project Managers are expected to interrogate the plans they are given, not just collect and republish them - asking the hard question, challenging the assumption behind a date, and pushing back when a recovery plan is optimistic rather than credible. When a test fails or a supplier slips, the TPM does not report the slip and wait; they convene the right people, drive the team to root cause, and force a recovery plan with owners and dates. Doing this well requires enough technical depth across engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing to know which answers hold up and which do not. \nKey Responsibilities\nTechnical Judgment & Recovery \nInterrogate the plans and status you are given rather than relaying them - challenge assumptions behind dates, estimates, and readiness claims, and press until the answer holds up. \nWhen a test failure, supplier slip, or design issue emerges, convene the right cross-functional group immediately, drive the team to root cause, and force a credible recovery plan with named owners and dates. \nDevelop and pressure-test contingency options in parallel with the primary plan, so the program has a Plan B before it needs one. \nChallenge and verify supplier and manufacturing readiness claims rather than accepting them at face value. \nBring judgment, not just data - a status report that flags a risk without an assessment and a recommended path is an incomplete deliverable. \nSchedule & Deliverable Execution \nWork with engineering, product management, supply chain, manufacturing, and operations leads to build detailed schedules that support product milestones, and maintain them as reality changes. \nTrack deliverables to completion across all contributing functions - engineering releases, part qualification, procurement, build readiness, test execution, and documentation. \nMaintain Exit Gate deliverable tracking for assigned programs and drive open items to closure ahead of gate reviews. \nRun program meetings that produce decisions, owners, and dates - and follow up until items are actually closed. \nInterdependency & Risk Management \nIdentify cross-functional interdependencies in the plan and make them explicit before they cause a slip. \nSurface emerging risks early and work with the responsible teams to develop practical mitigation options. \nMaintain the program risk and issue log; escalate to the Principal Technical Program Manager with context and a recommended path. \nSupport resource and cost forecasting for engineering, product management, supply chain, manufacturing, and operations deliverables. \nCommunication & Accountability \nProduce clear, consistent program status reporting that distinguishes on-track from at-risk and states what decision is needed. \nDrive accountability across functions for commitments made - professionally, persistently, and without needing to escalate every time. \nSupport the Commercial PMs with engineering deliverable status, hardware readiness, and installation, commissioning, and O&M documentation for customer projects. \nTo be successful in this role\n4-8 years of technical project or program management experience in hardware product development. \nHands-on experience building and maintaining detailed cross-functional schedules and tracking deliverables to closure. \nFamiliarity with phase-gate product development and the deliverables typically required at each gate. \nTechnical fluency across multiple functions - engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing - sufficient to challenge an estimate, interrogate a readiness claim, and know when an answer does not add up. Engineering degree or equivalent hands-on technical background. \nDemonstrated experience driving a cross-functional team to root cause and a recovery plan after a test failure, supplier miss, or schedule slip. \nProficiency with project management and tracking tooling (Monday.com, MS Project, Smartsheet, Jira, Asana or similar). \nStrong communicator - concise written updates, well-run meetings, and comfort driving accountability across teams. \nOrganized, persistent, and detail-oriented, with the judgment to know which details matter. \nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with power electronics, low and medium-voltage systems, cabling, cryogenics, or other complex electromechanical hardware. \nPrototype-to-production or NPI experience at a hardware startup. \nExposure to supply chain or manufacturing planning. \nWhat Success Looks Like in 12 Months \nAssigned programs have accurate, maintained schedules that teams actually work from. \nExit Gate deliverables are tracked continuously, and gate reviews hold no surprises. \nInterdependencies and risks are raised early with mitigation options, not reported after the fact. \nWhen something breaks, a recovery plan with named owners and dates exists within days - not weeks of status updates describing the problem. \nCross-functional partners describe the TPM as someone who makes their plans better, not someone who asks them for updates. \nFunctional leads spend measurably less time on planning and tracking administration. \nVEIR is committed to equal pay for equal work in its compensation practices.
