About this role

This lead-level R&D project manager works on gyrotron development, hardware supporting fusion-plasma heating. The role leads two or three themes from technical requirements through supplier selection, design, prototyping and testing to production design, while making technical decisions rather than only coordinating.

Work covers development planning and control of schedule, cost and risk; requirements and subsystem interfaces; supplier selection, technical review and progress tracking; and verification planning. The manager coordinates internal design teams with customers and research institutions and leads recovery plans for delays or specification changes.

Applicants need at least three years of project management in hardware development or engineering projects and eight or more years of technical experience. They also need intermediate-or-higher English for customer negotiations and technical meetings, plus experience in at least two areas: bespoke development projects, schedule and delay recovery, cost control, or completing work across internal and external stakeholders.
