The RoleVEIR is seeking a Principal Product Manager to own low voltage system-level product strategy, roadmap, and commercial product execution for VEIR's flagship low voltage superconducting power delivery system. This is a senior individual contributor role reporting to the Director of Product and is one of the most strategically important roles on the Product team.
The Product team is responsible for overseeing the requirements, development, and lifecycle of VEIR's superconducting products. Through close collaboration with our commercial and engineering groups, the Product team ensures that the products developed meet customers' needs and align with VEIR's business goals. The Principal PM is the primary product authority for VEIR's low voltage system platform - translating data center customer requirements into precise product direction, orchestrating subsystem product managers to ensure cohesive system-level execution, and serving as the product team's primary interface for commercial engagements.
The defining characteristic of this role is a combination of deep data center electrical infrastructure expertise and the product management experience to translate that expertise into actionable product strategy and requirements. This is not a generalist product role. We are looking for someone who has designed or operated large-scale data center power delivery systems and can engage with hyperscale and colocation customers as a credible technical peer.
In the first 3 months you'll- Develop a comprehensive understanding of VEIR's SL Series architecture, VEIR's New Product Development (NPD) process, and the current state of SL Series NPD program.
- Establish working relationships with the subsystem product managers (LIN System & Controls, Cable Assemblies & Joints, Terminations & Junctions) and define the coordination model for translating system-level requirements into subsystem direction.
- Engage with VEIR's active commercial pipeline to develop a direct understanding of customer integration requirements, site architectures, and technical questions that bear on SL Series product definition.
- Own and drive progress on the core product deliverables: Product Requirements Document, Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) model, customer-facing product and use case presentations.
In the first 6 months you'll- Complete the full Preliminary Design phase product deliverable set for the SL Series in collaboration with SL Series subsystem product managers and product marketing manager, including application and use case presentations, product brochure, product presentations, guide specifications, product datasheets, and serviceability plan.
- Develop the SL Series go-to-market plan and pricing framework in collaboration with the Commercial team.
- Update the SL Series product roadmap, incorporating inputs from the commercial pipeline, competitive intelligence, and engineering feasibility.
- Finalize SKU structure at system, subsystem, and component levels working across subsystem PMs and engineering.
- Lead the development of the SL Series partnership plan with key integration and channel partners.
By the end of the first year you will have- Own end-to-end product accountability for the SL Series through commercial launch, including launch strategy execution and marketing plan delivery (PRM-055) in partnership with the Product Marketing Manager.
- Serve as the primary product team interface for strategic customer engagements - conducting technical discovery, interpreting site-specific integration requirements, and translating customer inputs into clear direction for subsystem product managers.
- Develop and maintain a competitive positioning framework for the SL Series, including analysis of conventional LV power delivery alternatives in data center applications.
- Define the product scope and initial requirements for SL Series follow-on variants or next-generation configurations based on customer and commercial inputs.
- Establish and maintain a healthy interface with the Solutions Engineering team to ensure that application engineering outputs inform, but do not substitute for, product-level requirements decisions.
To be successful in this role- You'll bring 8+ years of experience in data center electrical infrastructure, with direct hands-on involvement in the design, specification, procurement, or operation of large-scale data center power delivery systems at low voltage.
- You'll have 4+ years of product management experience in hardware or infrastructure products - with demonstrated ownership of product requirements, roadmap, and go-to-market execution.
- You'll have direct familiarity with hyperscale or large-scale colocation data center electrical architecture: 480V and 800VDC distribution systems, busway and cable infrastructure, UPS topologies, PDU and switchgear specifications, and high-density rack power delivery.
- You'll be capable of engaging with customer electrical engineering teams at a peer level - understanding their site architecture, interpreting their integration constraints, and identifying the product requirements that follow.
- You'll have experience developing product requirements documents, guide specifications, and product data sheets for hardware products.
- You'll have a working understanding of applicable codes and standards (NEC, NFPA 110, UL, CSA, ANSI) as they apply to data center power distribution infrastructure.
- You are an outstanding communicator (written and verbal) who can translate technical depth into crisp product narratives for both engineering and executive audiences.
- You are highly collaborative - able to orchestrate across subsystem product managers, engineering teams, and commercial stakeholders without direct authority over them.
- You are comfortable operating in Preliminary Design of a first-of-kind hardware program, where ambiguity is high and requirements are still evolving.
- You are driven by results - you measure success in product launch readiness and customer technical wins, and you are relentless about clearing blockers.
- You are committed to buying into VEIR's mission and goals and adopting our core values.
Prior experience at a hyperscale cloud provider, large data center developer, or data center electrical equipment OEM (in a product, engineering, or technical sales role) is strongly preferred. Familiarity with superconducting technology is not required.
