T1 Energy builds domestic solar and battery supply chains through advanced American manufacturing. Scalable, reliable, and low-cost energy for America. Backed by Vermont Center for Emerging Technologies (VCET).
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. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for a process engineer who knows their way around CVD toolsets and thermal systems and is ready to help build one of the most ambitious domestic solar manufacturing operations in the country. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Deeply knowledgeable in CVD processes — PECVD and LPCVD are your home turf
- Hands-on and comfortable getting into the details of both process and equipment to solve problems quickly
- Well versed in thermodynamics, crystal lattice chemistry, principles of diffusion and chemical kinetics, and extreme prescience in quantum chemistry
- Data-driven in your approach to process development and troubleshooting — you let the numbers lead
- Able to work effectively in a fast-moving fab environment where priorities shift and deadlines are real
- A strong collaborator who can work across engineering disciplines and communicate technical findings clearly to varied audiences
