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 diffusion toolsets 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
- Experienced working in a cleanroom setting
- Driven by a strong understanding of thermodynamics, transport phenomena, vacuum systems, electron-hole physics (Hall effect), and thin film characteristics
- Deep experience working with high-temperature (500 °C+), high-volume manufacturing equipment with silicon or glass material inputs
- Comfortable with chemical characterization, including crystal lattice chemistry, quantum field effects, and the principles of oxidation/reduction in gaseous environments, particularly as applied to photon-electron interfaces
- Experienced with III-V, GaAs, PERC, TOPCon, or other silicon-based solar cells
- Data-driven in your approach to process development and troubleshooting — you let the numbers lead

You'll be working at the leading edge of solar cell manufacturing, owning critical doping thermal processes that directly impact cell efficiency, yield, and throughput. If you've spent your career developing and optimizing boron and phosphorus diffusion processes in a semiconductor or photovoltaic environment and you're ready to do it at scale, this is the role for you.
Support thermal doping process integration across the G2 solar cell fab, working closely with equipment, facility, quality, and yield engineering teams.
Drive process characterization, design of experiments (DOE) execution, and data analysis to improve dopant uniformities and throughput.
Troubleshoot process excursions and equipment issues on diffusion tools and sub-inspection modules, identifying root causes and implementing corrective actions.
