R&D Technician, Thin Film Solution Processing

Requirements

• We can teach a lot, but there are some basics you'll need to know to hit the ground running. That includes:
• Work experience that shows you are willing to push projects forward and work as a team to accomplish goals.
• Hands-on laboratory experience is a plus.
• Able to take detailed and meticulous notes of processing conditions and observations when running experiments and processes.
• Driven to accomplish tasks toward producing solar modules and progressing as a larger team to make high-performing and durable perovskite modules.

Benefits

Additional Information

At Tandem PV, we are a team of people who are passionate about building a more sustainable world by bringing 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 to work in our new pilot manufacturing facility. In this critical role, you will work closely with a team of engineers and technicians in our R&D laboratory to execute and develop thin-film solution deposition processes for perovskite solar modules. Your primary focus will be operating and developing processes for our newly arrived nScrypt Last Step Interconnection (LSI) tool - also known as line writing or microdispensing - a critical step in module fabrication. This work draws on skills shared with LSI's more established cousins, screen printing and inkjet printing. Depending on your background and team priorities, you may also contribute to adjacent thin-film process development, including ongoing work on blanket thin-film encapsulation. You will interface directly with colleagues across teams to develop and execute experimental plans that advance the performance and durability of our perovskite modules. To be great at this role, you will have: A can-do attitude: To be a bit corny, you blaze a trail where there is none, rather than identify obstacles for others to clear. Comfort with uncertainty: You will often be operating in an environment requiring autonomy in judgment and action, and will need to identify, communicate, and execute on a plan and report when you identify issues. Flexibility: You have broad capabilities in the laboratory and can flex in several directions (at once, if need be) to solve multifaceted problems that defy disciplinary boundaries. An interest in learning: If you don't know anything about our product, but want to live in a better world and are willing to learn from your coworkers and independently, we may have a place for you. A goal-oriented mindset: You come to work to achieve objectives, not check off items on a list. You're focused on getting your work product past the goalpost, and you don't put it down until you've done that. Pride in your work: You clean up after yourself; you take an extra few minutes to label or tidy or otherwise organize your space; you want to "do it right." Communication skills: You can clearly communicate about what you did in the lab, or you can give a headline because your colleague is in a hurry. You are comfortable presenting to a group; you can balance frankness with tact and kindness.
