About the company

At Swift Solar, our mission is to unlock the full potential of solar energy. We believe solar can provide affordable, reliable, resilient, clean energy to virtually anyone, anywhere. But while today’s solar technology is good, it’s not good enough.

Swift Solar’s breakthrough perovskite-silicon tandem technology will drive solar power to commanding new heights. Our tandem cells stack a perovskite layer on top of a heterojunction (HJT) silicon cell, delivering dramatically higher efficiency than traditional silicon alone. In 2026, we acquired Meyer Burger’s HJT intellectual property and manufacturing assets, giving us the world’s most extensive HJT patent portfolio and a clear path to gigawatt-scale domestic production.

This vertically integrated approach means we can design, manufacture, and scale next-generation solar solutions entirely in the United States—from silicon foundations to perovskite innovations. Our technology enables applications ranging from space solar to utility-scale power generation, creating American-made solutions for a world facing growing energy challenges.

Swift Solar is on a journey to bring revolutionary clean-energy technology to market. We’re in it for the long haul, with support from world-class investors. Join our extraordinary team building the cutting-edge solar technology that will power the future.

A day in the life

As a Supply Chain Engineer at Swift Solar, you’ll be at the forefront of contributing to shaping the company’s supply chain from R&D through manufacturing scale. You’ll be responsible for critical chemicals and materials and help define what we buy, qualify suppliers, and ensure timely deliveries as we move toward volume production.

On a typical day, you might define a material specification alongside an R&D Scientist, verify incoming quality in the lab, support the product team on sourcing for a new build, or visit a supplier to assess whether they can scale with us. You’ll manage supplies through our ERP and work closely with our VP of Manufacturing & Supply Chain on supplier evaluations, supplier selections, second sources, demand models, specifications, LOIs, supplier agreements, and supplier audits.

Because you’ll touch nearly every function — R&D, Engineering, Product, Operations — the role carries real visibility, and you’ll help define the systems Swift runs on as we scale. One thing worth saying plainly: the job leans toward building today — specifications, sourcing, supplier development and shifts toward leveraging what you’ve built as we move into production. The people who do well here find both halves interesting.

You might be a good fit if you...
  • Have 2–5 years of engineering experience in supply chain or a closely related field, ideally in a technical manufacturing environment
  • Hold a degree in Engineering or Science — Materials, Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical, Chemistry, or Physics and can hold your own in a technical conversation with R&D
  • Can manage supplier relationships end-to-end, from qualification and scale-up to long-term agreements and performance monitoring
  • Know how to lead documentation of specifications for chemicals and materials
  • Understand QA/QC methods and material characterization for chemicals and materials
  • Are comfortable with the commercial side of sourcing — pricing, agreements, and demand planning.
  • Are organized, proactive, and mission-driven, with a track record of delivering projects on time and a desire to make a meaningful impact on climate change
A strong candidate might bring one or more of the following...
  • Experience in a high-tech production environment — solar PV, semiconductors, or advanced materials
  • Silicon PV or semiconductor experience
  • Experience sourcing a bill of materials into…
