WHY VEIR?

Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts, VEIR is a U.S.-based designer and manufacturer of category-defining superconducting power delivery systems built for the extreme energy demands of the AI era. 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.

The Role

We 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'll write and produce the large, safety-critical documents such 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'll help establish VEIR's technical documentation discipline and build the templates, style standards, and processes the company can use to scale.

About the Company

Veir

HTS-based superconducting transmission lines for grids

VEIR develops superconducting transmission lines that use high-temperature superconductors with an ambient-air cooling system to carry much more electricity in a smaller footprint. The cables rely on HTS to reduce resistance, and a streamlined air-cooling approach keeps the material in a superconducting state without bulky cryogenic equipment, enabling 5–10x higher power transmission in limited spaces. This approach targets urban and space-constrained environments, offering an alternative to traditional copper cables and other superconducting systems that require larger footprints or more complex cooling. VEIR aims to expand grid capacity to support dense urban loads, renewable energy integration, and regional upgrades, including power delivery for data centers and other energy-intensive sectors.
