About the role

This is a senior technical leadership role for someone with deep, hands-on expertise in TOPCon cell technology and the experience to translate that knowledge into a high-performing, high-yield production environment.
You've developed and scaled TOPCon processes before.
You understand the science, you know the toolsets, and you've seen what it takes to move from development to high-volume manufacturing without losing efficiency or cell performance.

Own all process engineering activities at the G2 solar cell fab, with direct responsibility for TOPCon cell process development, integration, and optimization.
Lead a team of process engineers across key unit processes including tunnel oxide, polysilicon deposition, diffusion, passivation, and metallization.
Drive process stability and continuous improvement across the fab, using data to identify and close yield and efficiency gaps.
Establish and maintain process baselines, control plans, and process documentation across all cell fab process steps.
Partner with Equipment, Metrology, and Quality teams to ensure process and tool readiness, control, and compliance.
Lead process-related root cause analysis for yield excursions, efficiency losses, and cell performance deviations.
Support technology transfer and process qualification activities for new tools, materials, and process flows.
Collaborate with R&D and device engineering on next-generation process development and integration.
Collaborative and effective across engineering disciplines, operations, and external partners.

A TOPCon expert - you know the technology deeply and have the development and manufacturing experience to back it up.
10+ years of process engineering experience in solar cell fabrication, with specific and demonstrated expertise in TOPCon technology.
Hands-on experience with PECVD, LPCVD, diffusion furnaces, ALD, and related toolsets.
Experience managing or leading process engineering teams in a high-volume manufacturing environment.
Track record of supporting technology transfer from development to high-volume production.
If you can hold the line and have a sense of humor, you'll fit right in.
PhD or MS in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
Deep understanding of TOPCon unit processes including tunnel oxide growth, polysilicon deposition, doping, and contact formation.
Strong background in process integration, yield analysis, and statistical process control.
