Teams 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.
