Location: Valencia Region: Europe Job Category: R & D

Position Type: Full-time Website: Link

The R&D department of Siliken Renewable energies is building a High-efficiency solar cell pilot-line facility within the campus of the UPV in Valencia (Spain). The line is focused on new concepts for high-efficiency solar cells that can be scaled to high-volume manufacturing with reduced cost. The tools in the pilot line have throughputs above 100 wafer/hour and all the systems will be operational during 3Q 2011. The work at the line aims at reducing the cost of solar energy, through applied research in high-efficiency crystalline silicon solar cells, as well as in next generation photovoltaic (PV) technologies.  Come and join our international team of scientists and engineers as we develop novel processing approaches, build a portfolio of intellectual property and present innovative research work at international conferences.

 

Job title. Process Scientist/Engineer

 

Description

To work in close collaboration with scientists and engineering staff in developing processes to fabricate high efficiency solar cell devices, characterizing their properties (individual layers and completed devices), collecting and analyzing data, and communicating results with both written reports and presentations. This position will report to the team leader of the Processing Group and is aimed at both develop/optimizing cell characterisation techniques and modelling of solar cell devices.

 

This job will provide you with the opportunity to work on various process steps in a photovoltaic pilot production line environment, where efficient multitasking skills and the ability to meet challenging deadlines are a must.
