Study the influence of ink chemistry and rheology, substrate surface energy and ink wetting, drying kinetics, and post‑deposition processing on film continuity and performance. Collaborate with device and materials teams to link material inputs and deposition parameters to photovoltaic metrics (Jsc, Voc, FF, stability, etc.). Help design and scale experimental setups - including deposition/drying systems (IR/convection drying, air-knife systems, and web handling, etc.) as well as film characterization systems. Document process parameters, yield data, and continuous-improvement learnings in a reproducible framework. Contribute to safety, workflow, and process documentation as Arinna scales toward pilot‑line production. Qualifications M.S. or Ph.D. in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Applied Physics, or related field. 5+ years of hands‑on experience with solution‑processed thin‑film deposition (slot-die, blade, spin, or similar). Proven ability to produce continuous, uniform thin films ( Strong understanding of wetting, viscosity, solvent systems, and drying kinetics in thin‑film processing. Experience with photovoltaic or semiconductor thin‑film materials strongly preferred. Familiarity with scaling processes from lab to pilot and integrating process control and in‑line metrology.
