Program Manager

Description

• Support readiness for pilot installations, certification milestones, and transition to scaled production.
• Ensure the product meets performance, cost, and schedule targets, coordinating across internal engineering, supply chain, test, and external vendors.
• Build strong relationships with the Product Manager, Technical Leads, and cross-functional engineering and commercial teams.
• Implement and maintain VEIR’s documentation standards and project management tools to drive visibility and alignment across teams.
• Establish clear development plan and milestone schedules aligned with VEIR’s product stage-gate process.
• Fully own the execution of one of VEIR’s superconducting development programs, from design through qualification, pilot manufacturing, and customer validation.
• Develop a deep understanding of VEIR’s cable technology, product requirements, and target applications.
• Drive continuous improvement in VEIR’s program management practices and cross-functional collaboration.
• Maintain and communicate program status updates to leadership, highlighting progress, challenges, and critical path decisions.
• Begin leading recurring program syncs, maintaining action trackers, and ensuring technical deliverables are completed on time.
• Identify risks, dependencies, and mitigation plans across technical workstreams.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience managing complex engineering programs in power systems, energy technology, or utility infrastructure (e.g., cables, switchgear, electrical assemblies, or transmission/distribution equipment).
• Strong understanding of engineering documentation, configuration management, and change control processes.
• Familiarity with power systems standards (IEC, IEEE, UL) and/or utility customer requirements is highly desirable.
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or related technical field; PMP or equivalent certification a plus.
• Excellent organizational and communication skills. You’re able to translate technical requirements to non-technical stakeholders and commercial requirements to technical stakeholders.
• Proven ability to manage technical schedules, budgets, and milestones across multiple teams and stakeholders.
• Experience leading stage-gate or phase-gate development programs, ideally in hardware or electro-mechanical product environments.
• Proficiency in program management and collaboration tools (e.g., Monday.com, Jira, Confluence, or similar).
