Technical Integration Manager Jobs in Kentucky (NOW HIRING)

Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is the site for the new Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), a one-of-a-kind nuclear physics research facility. The EIC will be a discovery machine for unlocking the secrets of the “glue” that binds the building blocks of visible matter in the universe. The machine design is based on the existing and highly optimized RHIC Ion-Ion collider. It will consist of two intersecting accelerators, one producing an intense beam of electrons, the other a beam of protons or heavier atomic nuclei which are steered into collisions. Beyond sparking scientific discoveries in a new frontier of fundamental physics, the Electron-Ion Collider will trigger technological breakthroughs that have broad-ranging impact on human health and national challenges.

The EIC Deputy Technical Director reports to the EIC Technical Director and serves as the principal deputy responsible for supporting the Technical Director in all technical aspects of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) Project, including design, integration, construction, commissioning, and technical performance. The Deputy Technical Director oversees the Chief Systems Engineer and the Systems Engineering organization, providing leadership for systems engineering, technical integration, requirements management, interface control, and configuration management across all EIC project systems. Working closely with Brookhaven National Laboratory, Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, partner laboratories, and collaborating institutions, this position coordinates project-wide accelerator physics, technology, and engineering activities to ensure successful technical integration and design convergence. The Deputy Technical Director serves as one of key interfaces with the U.S. Department of Energy, Laboratory management, and external review bodies on matters of technical performance, readiness, and risk; acts on behalf of the Technical Director when delegated or in their absence; and serves as a member of the EIC Executive Management Team.
