Principal Engineer - Risk & Reliability

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.

The Role

VEIR is seeking a Principal Engineer - Risk and Reliability to join our System Integration & Heat Transfer team. The System Integration & Heat Transfer team is responsible for the overall integration of the VEIR superconducting system and interfaces between the Cryogenic Systems and Superconducting Systems teams. This person will lead the risk and reliability analysis for VEIR's products, ensuring we meet critical customer reliability targets.

In the first 3 months you'll

- Begin quantitative risk assessment for VEIRs cryogenic cooling system and superconducting cable.

- Lead the development of the FMEA for the indoor product in collaboration with key stakeholders.

- Work closely with the product team to iterate on system modifications that enhance performance and align with customer requirements.

- Conduct reviews and document lessons learned from the indoor product FMEA.

- Review VEIRs system and provided recommendations on software and methods for performing the risk and reliability assessment

- Share out your initial analysis and findings with VEIRs engineering teams.

In the first 6 months you'll

- Based on the findings of the risk and reliability analysis, you will provide design recommendations that will enable VEIRs system to meet reliability targets.

- You begin sharing your findings and insights with VEIRs customers.

- Identify gaps in VEIRs understanding of the reliability of our components that impact system design

- Identify and recommend changes to inspection and maintenance procedures

- Continue refining the indoor product FMEA as the product design matures.

By the end of the first year you will have

- Completed a first draft of the FMEA for the indoor product and lead updates on conducting a GAP analysis and identifying mitigation strategies in collaboration with the product team.

- Finalize the first draft of the risk assessment for the indoor product.

- You'll bring 12+ years of experience of reliability engineering in a related field, such as; fluid systems, power systems, cryogenics, or thermal management.

- You’ll bring strong knowledge of system optimization, and you may have some knowledge or experience with fluid dynamics and heat transfer

- You'll have demonstrated experience leading FMEA and Risk Analysis (e.g. Fault Tree Analysis, Probabilistic Risk Assessment)

- You may have experience in engineering software for system modeling (e.g., MATLAB, Simulink).

- You may have familiarity with power transmission systems and/or data center operations.

- You may have some experience designing, modeling, and testing complex thermal or electromechanical systems.

- You are highly curious and solutions-oriented, and excel at deconstructing complex problems into manageable components to develop effective solutions

- You are energized by a fast-paced environment and are comfortable working with ambiguity.

- You thrive on effectively managing multiple projects with competing priorities that require making decisions under pressure and working under tight deadlines

- You are an outstanding communicator (written and verbal) across all levels of the organization and can work effectively in a fast-paced collaborative environment.
