Full Job Description

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 prod
