Senior Project Engineer

Key ResponsibilitiesTechnical Project & Program Management

• Plan, structure, coordinate, and execute strategic technical projects and programs, including internal development, customer projects, industrialization, collaborative research, public funding programs, and international development initiatives.
• Define work packages, milestones, deliverables, responsibilities, dependencies, decision points, and reporting mechanisms, translating high-level objectives into actionable engineering activities.
• Coordinate multidisciplinary work across R&D, laser and optical engineering, mechanical and electronics engineering, product development, industrialization, manufacturing, testing, operations, and quality-related functions.
• Monitor progress, follow up on actions, identify risks and bottlenecks early, escalate critical issues where needed, and support mitigation plans to maintain project momentum.
• Coordinate technical discussions, meetings, deliverables, reporting, and alignment with customers, industrial partners, suppliers, research institutions, funding organizations, and other collaborators.
