Technical Writer (6 Month Contract)

The posting, as VEIR wrote it

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.
