Job Description Project Manager
n Role Summary
n We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead cross-functional programs involving
n superconducting materials, magnet systems, and cryogenic technologies. The ideal candidate will
n drive projects from concept through prototyping, testing, and deployment — coordinating tightly
n with materials science, cryogenics, electrical engineering, and quality teams to deliver
n superconducting magnets, wire/tape, or systems on time, within budget, and to performance specifications.
n Key Responsibilities
n • Own end-to-end planning and execution of superconductor programs, including magnet/coil
n development, wire and tape production, cryostat integration, and system-level testing.
n • Develop and maintain integrated project schedules, critical path analysis, and resource plans.
n • Coordinate with R&D;, process, and reliability engineering teams to track technical milestones
n such as material qualification, coil winding, cooldown/quench testing, and field-performance
n validation.
n • Manage project budgets, capital expenditure (CapEx) tracking, and vendor/tooling procurement
n timelines in partnership with finance and procurement, including specialty cryogenic equipment.
n • Identify, track, and mitigate risks related to quench events, material performance, supply of rare materials and schedule slippage; escalate issues with clear recovery plans.
n • Drive stakeholder communication through regular program reviews, status reports, and
n executive dashboards (e.g., using Zoho, MS Project, Smartsheet, or Jira).
n • Facilitate change control and cross-site/cross-lab coordination for multi-partner or multi-vendor
n programs,



including academic and national-lab collaborations where applicable.
n • Partner with customers, research institutions, and/or component suppliers on program
n timelines, qualification requirements, and delivery commitments.
n • Lead post-project reviews and drive continuous improvement in project management processes,
n tools, and templates.
n Required Qualifications
n • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Mechanical Engineering,
n or related field.
n • 3 - 7 years of project management experience in superconductor, cryogenics, advanced
n materials, or related high-tech R&D; manufacturing environments.
n • Working understanding of superconducting materials (low-temperature and/or high-
n temperature superconductors), magnet design, or cryogenic systems.
n • Proven track record managing multi-disciplinary teams and complex, schedule-driven programs
n with hard technical milestones.
n • Proficiency with project management tools (Zoho, MS Project, Smartsheet, Jira, Primavera) and
n engineering/ERP systems (SAP, Oracle).
n • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience presenting to
n senior leadership, research partners, and customers.
n • PMP, PgMP, or Six Sigma certification preferred.
n Preferred Skills
n • Familiarity with cryogenic infrastructure (helium liquefaction, cryocoolers, dilution refrigerators)
n and associated safety protocols.
n • Exposure to national laboratory, academic research, or government-funded (e.g., DOE, ITER)
n program environments.
n • Experience in a regulated or safety-critical setting involving pressure systems, high
n magnetic fields, or cryogenic hazards.
