Concentrator PV Solar Cell Design Engineer

Eastern Coast

For Materials Scientists with GaAs and Photovoltaic Experience:

My client is developing an innovative high performance micro-concentrator solar cell array produceable at a fraction of the cost of alternative technologies. Due to the low cost parallel-processing approach coupled with the high performance optics and multi-junction solar cell combination, the solar module will have the lowest $/W ratio available in the marketplace.

The solar industry continues to grow at a double digit rate, demanding the highest performance solar modules at the lowest possible cost. My client has developed unique technology licensed from a Midwestern university which is capable of massively parallel transfer printing very small solar cell chips onto a solar panel at very low cost. The technology enables the use of very high performance multi-junction III-V compound (GaAs) semiconductor solar cells. My client is a pre-IPO company offerring equity and benefits, as well as relocation assistance.

Position Responsibilities:

Will be responsible for developing unique epitaxial structures and processes compatible with the transfer printing technology. Objectives for the candidate include design, fabrication and characterization of high concentration solar cell prototypes and further optimization of the design to increase throughput, improve efficiency, and reduce costs. The anticipated result is a highly manufacturable and scalable product. The candidate will work with a dynamic team of engineers and partners engaged in this exciting and multi-disciplinary field and will report directly to the VP of Technology.

Qualifications:

Candidate must have an advanced degree in EE, Materials Science, Chemistry, Physics, or equivalent and 5+ years of industry experience. The individual must be technically strong and have experience developing processes and products intended for use in manufacture. Experience in the solar CPV industry is highly desirable. In addition, the candidate must be a highly motivated individual with excellent verbal and written communication skills and who is a good team player.

This position is located on the Eastern Coast, and will require previous experience with GaAs technology.
