About the role
The Chief Systems Engineer (CSE) provides the highest level of technical systems engineering leadership for a DOE capital project, ensuring that all subsystems are coherently integrated into a unified, functional facility that meets the project's scientific and operational requirements. This role sits at the intersection of science, engineering, and project management. The primary focus of this position is on the technical integrity & integration of EIC design through three key steps: requirements → design → verification. The CSE reports to the EIC Technical Director (or deputy Director) and focusses on answering the following question: “Does the system do what it's supposed to do?” The Chief Systems Engineer will collaborate and coordinate EIC Systems Engineering responsibilities across all technical teams, ensuring effective and timely communication and continuity in systems integration and verification processes. The Chief Systems Engineer will also manage and supervise the EIC System Engineering Team.
