About the role

T1 Energy is looking to hire a Thermal Process Engineer to join our team supporting the process development and ramp of our G2 solar cell fab.
You'll be working at the leading edge of solar cell fab, owning critical deposition and thermal processes that directly impact cell efficiency, yield, and throughput.

Develop, optimize, and own thermal and vapor deposition processes for solar cell fabrication, including PECVD and LPCVD toolsets.
Support process integration across the G2 solar cell fab, working closely with equipment, integration, and yield engineering teams.
Drive process characterization, DOE execution, and data analysis to improve film quality, uniformity, and throughput.
Collaborate with equipment engineers and tool vendors to qualify new tools, execute preventive maintenance reviews, and maintain process baselines.
Develop and maintain detailed process documentation, including recipes, SOPs, and control plans.
Support technology transfer from development to high-volume manufacturing, ensuring processes are robust, repeatable, and scalable.
Partner with cross-functional teams including device engineering, materials, and operations to meet cell efficiency and production targets.
Data-driven in your approach to process development and troubleshooting - you let the numbers lead.

Bachelor's degree or higher in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
5+ years of process engineering experience in semiconductor, photovoltaic, or advanced manufacturing environments.
Hands-on experience with PECVD and LPCVD toolsets is required.
Strong working knowledge of vapor deposition processes and thermal tools and processes.
Experience with process characterization, DOE methodology, and statistical process control (SPC).
Proficiency with data analysis tools (e.g., Python, JMP, Excel) for process monitoring and optimization.
Strong documentation skills and experience writing SOPs, process specs, and engineering reports.
If you can hold the line and have a sense of humor, you'll fit right in.
Ability to support a fab environment, including occasional travel to the G2 facility as needed.
