Jobs at Metal Oxide Technologies

Leads the controls engineering function for HTS wire manufacturing operations. Owns automation architecture, PLC/HMI/SCADA standards, capital equipment integration, vendor controls reviews, commissioning, troubleshooting, reliability improvements, and industrial safety systems. Manages controls engineers, develops team capability, oversees budgets and projects, and partners with manufacturing, process engineering, procurement, IT, and EHS. The role combines hands-on programming and commissioning with technical strategy, engineering standards, hiring, coaching, and operational leadership.

Selective, on-site recruiting event for PhD and Master’s candidates interested in full-time technical roles at MetOx International. Participants will present research, tour advanced superconducting-wire manufacturing operations, and interview for opportunities in thin-film process development, equipment engineering, materials characterization, surface engineering, process integration, controls, automation, and manufacturing data science. Selected candidates attend an all-expenses-paid two-day event in Houston and may be considered for Houston-based positions.

Leads development, optimization, qualification, and scale-up of sputtering and thin-film deposition processes for continuous HTS wire manufacturing. Designs statistically rigorous experiments, improves yield and film quality, establishes process controls, troubleshoots complex manufacturing issues, and drives corrective actions. Partners cross-functionally on production integration, documentation, validation, and supplier coordination while mentoring junior engineers and leading technical improvement projects.

Leads the design, development, testing, and integration of cryogenic systems supporting high-temperature superconducting technologies. Responsibilities include thermal analysis, laboratory validation, prototype development, technical documentation, component procurement, partner integration, project ownership, and customer collaboration. Provides technical mentorship and contributes to engineering best practices and commercialization of superconducting solutions.

Leads the design, development, testing, commissioning, and integration of web-handling and conveyance equipment for continuous HTS wire manufacturing. Responsibilities include precision machine design, material transport, tension and winding systems, validation testing, technical documentation, vendor coordination, cost modeling, reliability improvements, project delivery, and mentorship of junior engineers.

Lead the design, development, testing, commissioning, and continuous improvement of mechanical systems for MOCVD and thin-film deposition equipment. Design vacuum, thermal, precision assembly, gas delivery, reactor, and conveyance systems; conduct engineering analysis and validation; create technical documentation; support troubleshooting and manufacturing scale-up; coordinate suppliers and cross-functional teams; and mentor junior engineers.

Executive leader responsible for MetOx’s superconducting technology strategy and research organization. Leads multidisciplinary teams developing REBCO materials, MOCVD deposition processes, reactor platforms, diagnostics, predictive models, and scalable manufacturing technologies. Oversees research roadmaps, commercialization, intellectual property, process qualification, and technology investments while advising executives, customers, partners, universities, and government agencies.
