## About the role

Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role. Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

## What they're looking for

- The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would
- 15+ years in silicon PV cell technology, with at least one cell architecture (TOPCon, HJT, or back-contact) taken from concept to production efficiency targets, and the roadmap behind it owned by you
- You've built and defended a full loss budget across recombination, optical, and resistive losses, and closed real gaps to entitlement on a shipping cell
- You've led process transfers from pilot to production and know firsthand what breaks, from tool matching to yield collapse
- You hold published or patented depth in passivation, contacts, or device design
- You've directed multi-disciplinary cell R&D teams spanning process, device physics, and characterization, and set their technical priorities
