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. Now you'll own it from the top.
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.
