Eikos develops unique carbon nanotube formulations used to make conductive coatings. We also develop coating methods that allow the conversion of those formulations into highly differentiated products for the commercial markets and for a wide range of military applications. We exploit the capabilities of these technologies either through alliance partnerships with industry leaders or directly through our own manufacturing operations. To reach these goals, our technical teams conduct fundamental research and development in the area of nanotube composite coatings, and new device structures utilizing these coatings.
We are looking for a Program Manager to advance scientific principles, theories, and concepts to support Eikos’s products. The person in this role defines scientific directions, explores frontiers, and drives concepts through to support market opportunities. This individual will be given the freedom to act as a program leader/integrator directing others towards goals and objectives. Understanding market opportunities and matching or developing new competencies within the company to support defined initiatives.
The candidate will provide program management in the development of nanotube based composite technologies, with emphasis in two core areas: transparent and conductive coatings for photovoltaic energy and for printed electronics. These projects involve multidisciplinary development encompassing the integration of electrical, optical, mechanical, and chemical technologies. Focus will also be placed on providing a deeper understanding of novel areas of potential interest to the organization; environmental and safety compliance; and evaluation and integration of new technologies.
Candidate will manage one or more in-house Government programs while also identifying new program leads, developing new concepts, producing proposals and developing external business opportunities. Candidate will work closely with engineers, scientists, and management to develop proposals and should have experience managing large scale projects across a broad range of technologies. Work closely with program managers and scientists to articulate commercialization paths for ongoing and proposed contract research efforts.
