Reporting directly to Head of Cell and Process Development, the purpose of this role is to assist in the optimisation of SunDrive’s solar cell patterning and plating processes. One of SunDrive’s technology advantages is a low-cost, high-resolution patterning process. The primary focus of the role will be optimisation of SunDrive’s patterning process to ensure successful scaling and commercialisation of SunDrive’s technology for market entry.Solar PV manufacturing does not currently exist in Australia, so this is a unique opportunity to learn and develop skills in solar cell manufacturing in an industrial environment and gain experience in the scaling of a unique processing technology to market entry.The main responsibilities are:Design and undertake experiments to optimise SunDrive’s novel cell patterning technology to maximise cell and process performance.Qualify new materials and processes for potential integration into SunDrive’s pilot-scale processing sequence.Establish waste management strategies for SunDrive’s pilot-scale patterning process.Assist in the development, testing and operation of high throughput cell processing tools in SunDrive’s pilot production line.Operating SunDrive’s cell patterning and plating equipment and assisting in the tuning, optimisation and maintenance of this equipment.Performing characterisation of solar cells to assess process performance and repeatability and analyse data to draw conclusions.Facilitating transfer of technology developments to SunDrive’s pilot-scale production line and beyond.Implementing and updating operating procedures for SunDrive’s cell processing sequence.Updating and assisting in the maintenance SunDrive’s documentation of processing materials.
