Technical Project Manager (f/m/x)

About this role

Who we are

Founded in 2019, Marvel Fusion is Europe’s leading fusion energy company, uniting 75 scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs across our locations in Munich and Colorado .

Backed by over €385 million in public and private funding, we’re driven by a shared mission: to deliver clean, abundant energy to the world.

Why Marvel Fusion

By joining us, you will be:

• Solving one of the most complex technological challenges known to humanity, harnessing Fusion on Earth

• Part of a highly purpose-driven team working on providing the world with clean, safe and abundant energy

• Working alongside world-leading scientists and entrepreneurs in the field of Fusion

• Part of a start-up where growth on a company and individual level is the default

What this role is

We are seeking a Technical Project Manager to lead the on-site technical coordination for the installation, integration, and commissioning of PW-class laser systems and supporting infrastructure at the ATLAS facility in Fort Collins, Colorado.

This role sits at the interface between our engineering and project teams in Germany and the growing technical team in Colorado. The position is focused on technical steering, coordination, and execution oversight, ensuring that project milestones are achieved and that cross-site collaboration is efficient and aligned with the overall technical roadmap.

It is a process and integration management role ensuring that complex technical activities across mechanical, laser, controls, and facility engineering are aligned and progressing according to plan.

Reporting to the Executive Vice President of Marvel Fusion Inc. (USA), the position will interface with the engineering and project teams in both, Fort Collins and Munich, with strong coordination skills across functions. Given the international, multi-disciplinary nature of the project, the ability to work across organizational boundaries and time zones, align stakeholders with differing priorities, and build trust across teams is as important as technical and project management competence.

What you will own

Technical Project Leadership

• Lead integrated execution plan for the ATLAS facility, driving installation, integration, and commissioning of PW-class laser systems, beam transport, control systems, and other supporting infrastructure from day one through facility readiness.

• Develop and maintain integrated project plans including timelines, milestones, resource planning, and deliverables.

• Ensure alignment between engineering development activities in Germany and on-site implementation in Colorado, ensuring design intent is accurately translated into physical implementation.

• Identify, track, and actively resolve integration priorities across mechanical, laser, electrical, controls, and facility subsystems, maintaining the holistic view of system dependencies and integration risks that spans all engineering teams.

Cross-Site Coordination

• Act as the primary technical interface between the technical teams in Munich and Fort Collins and ensure structured, timely information flow

• Own coordination of technical requirements, interfaces, and integration points between subsystems, maintaining documented records of decisions, open items, and resolutions.

Installation and Commissioning Oversight

• Lead preparation and execution of installation activities for high-power laser infrastructure including on-site readiness, sequencing, and commissioning across all subsystems, ensuring technical consistency between design specifications and on-site implementation as the ATLAS facility moves toward operational status

• Identify technical gaps and drive resolution across engineering teams

Procurement and Vendor Coordination

• Coordinate procurement for the laser systems and on-site infrastructure, working closely with the Company’s procurement department to align on technical specifications, supplier relationships, and delivery schedules for laser components, optical systems, mechanical structures, and control hardware

Communication

• Own project reporting and stakeholder communication across all levels and geographies through proactive, structured communication on project progress, decisions, and open items

• Hold the primary interface role across the ATLAS facility, spanning on-site teams, Munich, and external partners

The impact you will make

Marvel Fusion is building one of the most advanced laser facilities in the world, with its engineering team in Munich and its on-site team in Fort Collins working toward a shared commissioning goal. You will be the connective tissue that keeps both sides tightly aligned and moving forward together. In this role, you own the integrated picture: coordinating complex subsystems, bridging two continents, and ensuring that the ATLAS facility comes online on time and exactly as designed.

What you bring

• Engineering background with a degree in a technical field such as electrical, mechanical, systems, or industrial engineering, combined with strong project management skills applied in complex, multidisciplinary environments

• 5 to 10 years of experience managing complex technical or engineering projects, ideally EPCC-type (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Commissioning), with full ownership from initiation through delivery

• Proven ability to coordinate multidisciplinary engineering teams, strong understanding of system integration challenges, including how subsystems interface, where dependencies require coordination, and how to keep multiple workstreams progressing in alignment

• Ability to operate autonomously on-site while maintaining tight alignment with international team; comfortable working across time zones, cultures, and engineering disciplines

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English; able to translate technical complexity into clear, decision-ready information for leadership.

• Proven ability to work effectively in a matrix organization, coor
