Technical Project Manager - Implosion

Xcimer Energy leverages decades of research on Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) combined with groundbreaking new laser architecture. Our mission is to deploy fusion power plants to meet global decarbonization goals as fast as possible. Xcimer has assembled a team of leaders in tough tech, fusion science, and manufacturing with a track record of rapid execution. Supported by leading investors, Xcimer is uniquely positioned to deliver limitless, clean, fusion power to combat climate change. Join us in powering a better world with inertial fusion!

As a Technical Project Manager – Implosion, you will play a critical role driving execution of the Inertial Fusion Energy Program's Implosion System — the target design, target physics, and ICF implosion systems that enable fusion ignition. You will work closely with the Head of Target Design, the Head of Target Physics Experiments, Program Director, and Project Controls & Planning, as well as the target fabrication, metrology, diagnostics, and chamber-interface teams, to ensure seamless coordination, tracking, and reporting of Implosion System project activities. Your ability to manage schedules, maintain project documentation, design- and experiment-review artifacts and facilitate communication across the Implosion System's and sub-systems will be key to driving efficiency and meeting critical design-review and experimental-campaign milestones. We are looking for a highly organized individual with strong problem-solving skills, technical fluency in target physics, ICF implosion, or high-energy-density hardware systems, and experience in all aspects of engineering and research project delivery. The ideal candidate would have demonstrated experience leading engineering or experimental project execution from cradle to grave in the disciplines of inertial confinement fusion, target design, target fabrication, and/or high-energy-density physics.
