What you'll do
Lead a team of eight to fifteen process engineers to develop, release and implement the technical engineering work instruction to construct the SPARC device
Translate department-level strategy into actionable group objectives and manageable project timelines
Define and optimize process engineering workflows and internal standards to improve successful solution outcome rate and team efficiency
Oversee the full development of tracking and priority tools to concurrently manage hundreds of individual planning tasks for the SPARC Assembly effort.
Establish and reinforce best practices for mechanical assembly, including standards for aligning, installation, and rework
Manage all aspects of the group's talent, including hiring, training, and setting clear performance expectations
Coach and mentor team members, actively contributing to their technical growth and professional career development
Build relationships across the organization to influence design direction and resolve technical conflicts with stakeholders
Provide design feedback to SPARC sub-system designs with a focus on manufacturing and assembly. Participate in both formal and informal design reviews to ensure what is delivered can be assembled
Support hands on operations during Tokamak Assembly serving a variety of roles in the process
Work with teammates in a collaborative fashion to receive feedback early and often to ensure all requirements are met. Many SPARC projects involve high loads, vacuum requirements, and complex manipulation requiring the involvement and review of adjacent sub system experts What we’re looking for: Civil, Structural, Mechanical, or Aerospace Engineering BS
