R&D Engineer/Scientist

• Drive the development of processes, metrology, and materials for key thin film layers in perovskite tandem solar cells
• Identify shortcomings within the existing device stack and independently develop strategies to overcome limitations
• Perform systematic experiments to develop and optimize scalable deposition materials and processes
• Develop and use advanced metrology techniques to quantify materials properties and maintain critical deposition and characterization processes

This role contributes to developing advanced solar cell technology that is more efficient and versatile than traditional solar, helping unlock the full potential of solar energy to address global climate change and protect planetary health.

• Ph.D. in chemistry, materials research, physics or related fields, or Masters degree plus at least two years of directly relevant R&D experience
• 2+ years of experience in thin-film deposition and characterization (e.g., XRD, XRF, PL, JV, and advanced methods)
• Expert knowledge of metal halide perovskite materials and their characterization
• Comfortable with ambiguity and excited to independently drive open-ended R&D projects

• Competitive compensation package including salary, equity, and benefits
• 100% of monthly premiums for HMO/PPO group healthcare plan options covered
• 75% of dental and vision insurance premiums covered
• 401(k) matching, clean commuter benefits, and meaningful equity
• Support for attending conferences and taking online courses for professional development

Swift Solar's mission is to unlock the full potential of solar energy by developing breakthrough tandem technology using perovskite materials to create more efficient and versatile solar solutions, addressing global climate change while powering economies and strengthening supply chains.
