• Define the R&D activities and required qualifications to validate the design by taking into account the construction/assembly processes and techniques
• Manage the interfaces with other design and engineering groups: the vessel & thermal shield teams, system engineering, electrical/electronic engineers, vacuum/cryostat engineers, and others as required
• Coordinate the detailed design of the HTS magnet systems with their support structures and feeder lines, and their integration in the machine
• Supervise the writing of technical documentations, specifications and quality assurance documents in accordance to RF guidelines
• Supervise the analysis work and assess the results

* Manufacturing/Assembly/Testing

• Supervise the in-house or outsourced construction of magnet components, support structures, feeders and cooling/instrumentation, as well as their their assembly and integration in the machine
• Coordinate the selection of subcontractors and monitor cost and schedule with the PMO
