At ART-PV India Pvt. Ltd., we are an early-stage R&D startup developing perovskite–silicon tandem solar technology for high-efficiency and durable renewable energy solutions. We are seeking a Senior Research Engineer with expertise in thin-film deposition and solar cell fabrication to contribute to scaling up large-area perovskite devices.
Key Responsibilities
- Operate and maintain thin-film deposition tools and glove box systems.
- Develop and characterize large-area (< 4 cm²) perovskite solar cells with efficiency >20% using absorber layers with 1.67–1.7 eV bandgap.
- Deposit perovskite films on flat and textured silicon substrates via advanced thin-film deposition techniques (vacuum processing and/or slot-die coating).
- Contribute to process optimization for scalability and high-throughput manufacturing.
- Maintain updated lab notebooks, ensuring accurate documentation of experimental procedures and results.
- Prepare weekly progress and quarterly project reports for internal/external review.
- Work independently and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary R&D team to achieve project goals.
Qualifications
- Master’s degree (M.Sc/M.Tech) in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Electronics, or related field.
- 2 years+ of hands-on experience in thin-film deposition, solar cell fabrication, or device characterization (industry or academic research).
Desirable Skills
- Hands-on experience with spin coating, slot-die coating, thermal evaporation, or sputtering.
- Familiarity with solar cell fabrication and device characterization techniques (IV, EQE, stability testing, etc.).
- Knowledge of large-area device fabrication and scale-up challenges.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and reporting skills.
- Ability to multitask and deliver results within defined timelines.
What We Offer
- Opportunity to take ownership of key projects in perovskite–silicon tandem R&D.
- Exposure to independent process development and contribution to scale-up activities
- A collaborative work culture that values technical expertise, teamwork, and innovation.
- Salary and benefits commensurate with experience.
