• Lead cross‑functional coordination across pulsed power, RF, controls, linac, mechanical, quality, manufacturing, and service teams to keep hardware development aligned to program goals.
• Build and maintain integrated project plans; define and manage the critical path, track milestones and dependencies, and drive schedule recovery when needed.
• Identify, assess, and mitigate technical, schedule, and supply risks; maintain risk registers and escalate with clear, risk‑based recommendations.
• Lead vendor discussions and alignment on technical requirements, quotations, statements of work, deliverables, design reviews, and delivery schedules.
• Interpret the full extent of complex system, subsystem, interconnect and component specifications; ensure requirements flow down into design specifications, acceptance criteria, and verification plans, and flag gaps, conflicts, and schedule impacts.
• Plan and assist integration, test, verification, and validation activities, using technical data to support milestone and go/no‑go decisions.
• Partner with engineering SMEs to drive root cause analysis and corrective actions for component, interface, and system‑level failures.
• Communicate program status, risks, and decisions clearly to stakeholders and leadership.

Requirements

• 5+ years of relevant experience in hardware system development, integration, validation, and troubleshooting of high‑voltage, pulsed power, RF, or power electronics systems, including leading hardware projects or workstreams.
• Strong technical core in pulsed power, high‑voltage, and power electronics, with the ability to read schematics, specifications, and test data (e.g., oscilloscope, probe, and interlock measurements) and to assess technical risk credibly.
• Proven ability to understand the full extent of complex system and component specifications, including requirement flow‑down, interfaces, and verification criteria, and to identify gaps and their impact on scope and schedule.
• Demonstrated ability to build and manage project schedules and the critical path (e.g., using MS Project, Monday or similar tools), including dependency tracking, milestone planning, and schedule recovery.
• Experience identifying, prioritizing, and mitigating technical, schedule, and supply risks, and communicating risk‑based recommendations to leadership.
• Experience leading vendor and supplier discussions, including technical alignment, quotations, statements of work, deliverables, and delivery schedules.
