Job description

PV Module Manufacturing Manager

Solestial is pioneering the future of space-based solar power by developing advanced solar technologies optimized for the harsh conditions of space. Our innovative, low-cost, and scalable solar arrays are engineered for next-generation satellites, spacecraft, and orbital infrastructure. We are driven by a mission to power the space economy and unlock limitless opportunities in orbit and beyond.

The Role

As a PV Module Manufacturing Manager you will lead the team responsible for production of solar cells at Solestial. You will be accountable for daily operations, meeting production goals, maintaining product quality and ensuring a safe and professional work environment. Your team will be comprised of 3-15 engineers and technicians and your daily duties will include scheduling & running production lots, leading process improvements related to scaling production, managing inventory movement, procurement of essential materials, technician training and development. You will work in direct collaboration with PV Manufacturing process engineers who are focused on process improvements to the production process, yield improvements, and new tool introduction. This collaboration will support transforming processes and product from the R&D teams to the production teams. As the company continues to grow and starts the transition to a new, automated, high volume manufacturing line, you will transition to leading a team of 10-50 running mass production of solar cells.

Specific Responsibilities to Include:

  • Run baseline recipes for pilot production lots
  • Optimize process steps to minimize yield loss
  • Partner with process engineers to maintain equipment performance
  • Develop and maintain standard operating procedures and documentation
  • Transition processes to large-scale production tools
  • Coordinate with material vendors to support production schedules
  • Identify and implement cost-reduction opportunities
  • Train technicians and future tool operators
  • Uphold safety standards and proactively prevent incidents
  • Maintain a clean and organized work environment
  • Develop a strong understanding of end-to-end solar cell and module processes and design features
  • Work in collaboration with other process leads to achieve required performance specifications (efficiency, cost, reliability)

Your Background:

  • Bachelor degree in Engineering, Materials Science, Physics or related fields.
  • 10+ years proven experience in engineering roles, with a strong technical background.
  • 3+ years of management experience.
  • Ability to work in a class 10,000 clean room environment.
  • Ability to conduct PV cell & module processing wearing the necessary PPE.
  • Ability to work in a dynamic environment.
  • Strong analytical skills, basic data analysis and presentation, clear communication.
  • Good mentoring and communications skills.
  • Team player.
  • Positive attitude.
  • Previous experience with photovoltaic solar modules or flexible circuits (R&D, manufacturing, reliability) is a strong plus.

Other Benefits:

  • Competitive compensation - we want you to grow with us
  • Generous, high-quality medical, dental, and vision coverage on day one of employment
  • 15 vacation days, 5 sick days, and 10 paid holidays annually - with an extended holiday break at year's end
  • 401K with employer match up to 4% of salary
  • Employer-paid short-term and long-term disability and employer-sponsored life insurance
  • Your work will literally go to space!

This is an exciting position as part of a positive, supportive, and passionate team! A competitive compensation package, including equity and full benefits (see below), will be offered.
