Job summary

VEIR, a Woburn-based designer and manufacturer of superconducting power delivery systems, seeks a Technical Project Manager to drive day-to-day product development execution across engineering, product management, supply chain, manufacturing, and operations.

You will build schedules, track deliverables, run cross-functional meetings, and push for credible recovery plans. The role emphasizes technical depth, accountability, and reliable program outcomes.

Qualifications

• 4–8 years of technical project or program management experience in hardware product development.
• Outcome-oriented problem solver who is energized by hard problems.
• Has built an integrated schedule from scratch across multiple engineering disciplines.
• Familiarity with phase-gate product development and the deliverables typically required at each gate.
• Technical fluency across multiple functions — engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing — sufficient to challenge an estimate, interrogate a readiness claim, and know when an answer does not add up.
• Demonstrated experience driving a cross-functional team to root cause and a recovery plan after a test failure, supplier miss, or schedule slip.
• Proficiency with project management and tracking tooling (Monday.com, MS Project, Smartsheet, Jira, Asana or similar).
• Strong communicator — concise written updates, well-run meetings, and comfort driving accountability across teams.
• Organized, persistent, and detail-oriented, with the judgment to know which details matter.

Responsibilities

• > Interrogate the plans and status you are given rather than relaying them — challenge assumptions behind dates, estimates, and readiness claims, and press until the answer holds up.
• < When a test failure, supplier slip, or design issue emerges, convene the right cross-functional group immediately, drive the team to root cause, and force a credible recovery plan with named owners and dates.
• < Develop and pressure-test contingency options in parallel with the primary plan, so the program has a Plan B before it needs one.
• < Challenge and verify supplier and manufacturing readiness claims rather than accepting them at face value.
• < Bring judgment, not just data — a status report that flags a risk without an assessment and a recommended path is an incomplete deliverable.
• < Builds integrated plans with engineering, product management, supply chain, manufacturing, and operations leads real dependencies and a critical path working towards committed dates
• < Track deliverables to completion across all contributing functions — engineering releases, part qualification, procurement, build readiness, test execution, and documentation.
• < Maintain Exit Gate deliverable tracking for assigned programs and drive open items to closure ahead of gate reviews.
• < Run program meetings that produce decisions, owners, and dates — and follow up until items are actually closed.
• < Identify cross-functional interdependencies in the plan and make them explicit before they cause a slip.
• < Surface emerging risks early and work with the responsible teams to develop practical mitigation options.
• < Maintain the program risk and issue log; escalating to the Principal Technical Program Manager with context and a recommended path.
• < Support resource and cost forecasting for engineering, product management, supply chain, manufacturing, and operations deliverables.
