WHY VEIR?
VEIR is enabling a new generation of compact, efficient, high-power, and long-distance power delivery solutions, solving bottlenecks that exist across the entire electricity value chain, from generation through to data center server racks. VEIR's low voltage superconducting solutions are enabling new power delivery architectures in the world’s largest data centers and our higher voltage solutions are poised to revolutionize the development of electricity transmission and distribution lines. VEIR is preparing for rapid growth as we seek to solve critical challenges facing data center developers, electricity generation developers, and utilities around the world.
As Senior Technical Product Manager – Cable Systems at VEIR, you will serve as the single-threaded owner for VEIR's cable systems product area, with full accountability for product strategy, technical requirements, NPI execution, and commercial readiness across VEIR's low-voltage and medium-voltage cable assemblies. This role is deeply technical and hardware-focused, sitting at the intersection of electrical engineering, systems architecture, customer requirements, and commercial deployment.
You will translate data center power delivery requirements, including fault current ratings, voltage drop budgets, voltage ripple specifications, and AC/DC architecture needs into precise, testable product specifications. You will negotiate those requirements with engineering, drive them through NPI stage gates, and ensure VEIR's cable systems achieve certification, reliability, and manufacturability targets on the path to commercial deployment.
This is the right role for a technically rigorous product manager who has deep experience with low-voltage power distribution hardware, understands the data center power electronics ecosystem, and is energized by the challenge of bringing first-of-kind power delivery products to market.
In the first 3 months you'll
- Ramp up on VEIR's cable systems architecture, including system interfaces, installation methods, performance requirements, LV power distribution topology, and data center application use cases.
- Develop deep familiarity with VEIR's existing cable specifications, design tradeoffs, and constraints across conductor types, connectors, busbars, and insulation systems.
- Conduct voice-of-customer (VoC) discovery with data center operators, electrical contractors, and internal applications and commercial teams to validate cable system requirements and pain points.
- Perform competitive and ecosystem analysis of the data center power electronics landscape, including LV distribution equipment suppliers (busbars, cable conductors, switchgear) and key industry players.
- Create initial product strategy and business case documents covering target use cases, technical requirements, cost targets, pricing assumptions, and certification obligations.
In the first 6 months you'll
- Own and maintain product requirements and specifications for VEIR's cable systems, defining fault current ratings, voltage drop budgets, ripple limits, connector interface requirements, and applicable compliance standards (UL, NEC, IEC, IEEE).
- Lead NPI stage-gate execution for cable systems products, ensuring designs progress from concept through prototype, validation, and commercial readiness, actively negotiating requirements and tradeoffs with engineering.
- Partner closely with electrical, mechanical, systems, and manufacturing teams to ensure cable designs are optimized for performance, reliability, scalability, supply chain availability, and field installation.
- Drive UL and relevant certification activities for cable systems products, working with engineering and third-party test labs to plan, execute, and document certification programs.
- Serve as the technical product expert for commercial and applications teams, supporting customer conversations, technical evaluations, and early pilot deployments.
By the end of the first year you will have
- Defined and executed the product roadmap for VEIR's cable systems portfolio, balancing near-term pilot delivery commitments with longer-term platform evolution toward medium-voltage capability.
- Successfully driven one or more cable systems products through launch or pilot deployment, meeting MVP performance, cost, certification, and reliability targets.
- Established clear, differentiated value propositions for VEIR's cable systems versus conventional alternatives in the data center power delivery market.
- Developed and maintained technical product collateral including specification sheets, installation guides, compliance documentation, and sales enablement materials.
- Acted as the cross-functional product leader, aligning engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and commercial teams around shared cable systems priorities and milestones.
To be successful in this role
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering required; advanced degree a plus.
- 5–10 years of combined experience in electrical engineering and hardware product management, with direct experience in power electronics or low-voltage power distribution systems.
- Deep, hands-on knowledge of low-voltage power distribution hardware, including cable conductors, busbars, and connectors is required; medium-voltage experience strongly desirable.
- Strong understanding of AC/DC electrical architectures used in data center power delivery, including distribution topologies, switchgear integration, and server rack power paths.
- Strong command of the data center power electronics ecosystem, including familiarity with major suppliers and the competitive landscape across LV distribution equipment.
- Demonstrated experience defining and negotiating technical requirements and product specifications for NPI power electronics products, including fault current ratings, voltage drops, ripple specifications, and porting and connection interface requirements.
- Hands-on experience managing NPI stage-gate lifecycles for physical hardware, from early concept through commercial launch.
- Direct experience leading or supporting UL certification programs for power electronics or LV electrical hardware; familiarity with NEC and IEC standards.
- Experience translating customer and application requirements into clear, testable product specifications in collaboration with engineering teams.
- Strong communication and cross-functional leadership skills, with the ability to drive alignment across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and commercial stakeholders.
- Data center industry experience highly desirable.
You are:
- Technically rigorous. You go deep on the engineering details, can hold your own in specification reviews, and know how to push back constructively when requirements need to evolve.
- A strong owner. You take accountability for product outcomes end-to-end, from requirements definition through certification, launch, and customer deployment.
- Customer-oriented. You ground product decisions in real customer needs, particularly the demands of data center power delivery environments.
- Collaborative and influential. You can align diverse cross-functional teams without direct authority and communicate clearly across engineering, commercial, and executive audiences.
- Energized by ambiguity. You thrive in fast-moving, early-stage environments where product requirements evolve and first-principles thinking is required.
- Mission-driven. You are motivated by VEIR's mission to enable transformative energy infrastructure and are excited to bring genuinely novel hardware to market.
