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

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

n

• Develop and maintain integrated project schedules, critical path analysis, and resource plans.

n

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

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

n

• Identify, track, and mitigate risks related to quench events, material performance, supply of rare materials and schedule slippage; escalate issues with transparent recovery plans.

n

n

• Drive stakeholder communication through regular program reviews, status reports, and

n

executive dashboards (e.g., using Zoho, MS Project, Smartsheet, or Jira).

n

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

n

• Partner with customers, research institutions, and/or component suppliers on program

n

timelines, qualification requirements, and delivery commitments.

n

n

• Lead post-project reviews and drive continuous improvement in project management processes,

n

tools, and templates.

n

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

n

• Working understanding of superconducting materials (low-temperature and/or high-

n

temperature superconductors), magnet design, or cryogenic systems.

n

n

• Proven track record managing multi-disciplinary teams and complex, schedule-driven programs

n

with hard technical milestones.

n

n

• Proficiency with project management tools (Zoho, MS Project, Smartsheet, Jira, Primavera) and

n

engineering/ERP systems (SAP, Oracle).

n

n

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience presenting to

n

senior leadership, research partners, and customers.

n

n

• PMP, PgMP, or Six Sigma certification preferred.

n

n

Preferred Skills

n

• Familiarity with cryogenic infrastructure (helium liquefaction, cryocoolers, dilution refrigerators)

n

and associated safety protocols.

n

n

• Exposure to national laboratory, academic research, or government-funded (e.g., DOE, ITER)

n

program environments.

n

n

• Experience in a regulated or safety-critical environment involving pressure systems, high

n

magnetic fields, or cryogenic hazards.
