Solar Manufacturing Operator

At Tandem PV we are a team of people who are passionate about building a more sustainable world by bringing more cost‑effective solar panels to the market. We’re scaling metal‑halide perovskite solar technology to make best‑in‑class mechanically stacked tandem modules. We have built efficient, durable cells, monolithic multi‑cell sub‑modules, and packaged modules with our scalable, low‑cost process. Our next focus is expanding our team and building a pilot manufacturing facility.

In this role, you will work closely with a team of engineers and technicians on our Manufacturing team to execute on production.

• Quality assurance:
  Perform basic quality control procedures, such as inspecting finished products, testing components, and identifying defects.
• Machine operation:
  Safely operate machinery for solar panel production, such as equipment for thin‑film coating, laser scribing and testing.
• Process monitoring:
  Monitor production processes and equipment parameters to ensure efficiency and adherence to quality specifications.
• Material handling:
  Assist in handling, storing, and moving raw materials and half‑finished products within the production area.
• Basic maintenance:
  Perform simple maintenance and cleaning on equipment as needed and respond to machine alarms.
