Scribing Engineer

At Tandem PV we are a team of people who are passionate about building a more sustainable world by bringing more cost effective solar panels onto the market. We’re scaling metal-halide perovskite solar technology to make best-in-class mechanically stacked tandem modules.   We have built efficient, durable cells, monolithic multi-cell submodules, and packaged modules with our scalable, low-cost process. Our next focus is expanding our team, acquiring production tools, and building a pilot manufacturing facility. Sounds like a lot, right? It is, and that’s why we need you to join the team!

As a Solar Thin-film Scribing  Engineer, you’ll play a key role on the R&D team creating consistency in our scribing processes, improving module performance and yield,, and collecting data to feed back into the R&D process. This is a crucial next step in our growth and ability to scale as a company.

To stand out in this role, you will have experience:

  • Processing thin-film semiconducting materials using laser or mechanical scribing tools

  • Improving software or hardware automation to increase throughput and reduce labor intensity

  • Running experiments to optimize scribing processes

  • Designing and executing improvements to tool configuration/capabilities to create better scribes

  • Managing the quality of your work by performing metrology and analyze and interpret results

Qualifications

  • We can teach a lot, but there are some basics you’ll need to know to hit the ground running, that includes:

    • Previous experience with laser and mechanical scribe processing tools for thin-film singulation

    • Understanding of the fundamentals of scribing and the tradeoffs for different tool design choices

    • Hands on lab experience - including knowledge of safety in a wet chemistry environment and safe use of hazardous materials

  • Key skills that will help you accelerate in this role include:

    • A creative and curious approach to problem solving

    • Systems thinking - seeing each part/piece as a part of something bigger, piecing everything together for smooth connections and hand offs.

    • Verbal and written communication skills are crucial - they also make for a safer and more efficient environment

  • If you happen to have these skills- it’ll put you ahead of the game!

    • The ability to design and execute on tool buildout and automation, both hardware and software

    • Knowledge and experience with halide perovskite materials and devices

    • Experience working in a solar company

What we offer:

An awesome team of dedicated technologists changing the way the world is powered! If that’s not enough, we’ll take good care of you and your family with:

  • Flexible PTO

  • Healthcare coverage

  • Life Insurance

  • Long-term & Short-term Disability

  • Parental leave

  • Meaningful equity
