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\nWe are seeking an experienced Technical Writer for a 6-month contract engagement to own the customer-and field-facing documentation for VEIR's superconducting power delivery systems, with the potential to convert to a full-time role at the end of the contract. You'llwrite and produce the large, safety-critical documentssuch as installation manuals, operation & maintenance manuals, commissioning procedures, and the supporting specifications, submittal packages, and training materials behind them. You'll work closely with our Engineering, Controls, Field Service, Solutions Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Product teams to turn CAD, P&IDs, single line diagrams, control philosophies, and engineering know-how into clear, accurate documentation for EPC engineers, electrical contractors, data center operators, and field technicians. During the contract, you'llhelp establish VEIR's technical documentation discipline and build the templates, style standards, and processes the company can use to scale. \nContract Details \nEngagement type: 6-month contract (potential for conversion based on business needs) \nSchedule: Full-time, 40 hours per week \nCompensation: Equivalent to $95,000 annual salary \nBenefits Eligible \nLocation: On-Site/Hybrid \nKey Responsibilities \nOwn end-to-end authoring of VEIR's field related product documents, including Installation Manuals and Operation & Maintenance (O&M) Manuals, taking each from outline to 80% draft to released 100% version in step with our product development stage gates. \nWrite and maintain supporting technical documents including Functional Specifications, Control Philosophy and Sequence of Operation documents, Guide Specifications, Preventive Maintenance schedules, Commissioning Test Plans, and Manufacturing Assembly Instructions. \nAssemble data center submittal packages and contribute technical content to datasheets, user guides, application notes, white papers, and training materials. \nInterview subject matter experts and work directly from engineering source material (CAD and general arrangement drawings, P&IDs, process flow diagrams, electrical single line diagrams, control panel schematics, BOMs, FMEAs) to produce accurate, complete procedures. \nWrite clear, task-based procedures for installers, operators, and field technicians working with high-voltage power equipment, cryogenic (liquid nitrogen) cooling systems, and industrial control panels; apply consistent hazard and safety messaging (e.g., ANSI Z535, NFPA 70E). \nPartner with Engineering and Product Marketing to source and specify illustrations, renderings, diagrams, and labeling so visuals and text stay technically accurate and consistent. \nRun structured review and approval cycles with Engineering, Field Service, Quality, and Product; manage document version control, revision history, and change requests as designs evolve. \nCreate and refine documentation templates, a style guide, and standards that support scalable documentation across product families, sites, and customers. \nManage multiple large documents simultaneously; prioritize against product and customer deployment milestones and meet deadlines. \nIn the first 3 months you'll\nLearn VEIR's product architecture, superconducting cable and cryogenic cooling systems, controls, and how our systems are installed, commissioned, and maintained at customer sites \nAudit existing documentation against our product readiness standard;
