<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">A manager and systems integrator, not a deep-tech individual contributor.</li>

<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Owner of system design across all subsystems: laser, vacuum, beam transport, telemetry, and computer/control systems brought into one coherent whole.</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">A visionary horizon: designs controls not only for today's experimental facility but for the future power plant, thinking years ahead on what becomes technically possible.</li>

<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Facility-level control system integration for an experimental facility (not factory or serial production).</li>

<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Vacuum integration and beam transport.</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Telemetry plus control integration into the central system.</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">The core challenge: integration of physical systems into computer and control systems.</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Building, structuring, and leading the controls team. Hire, mentor, and genuinely support the people in it.</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">The long-term controls vision, scaling from today's experimental setup toward a future power plant.</li>
</ul>

<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Excellent stakeholder and project management. You are a manager and communicator first.</li>
<li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Visionary thinking: you design for what becomes technically possible years ahead.</li>
