PVD Equipment Engineer, Solar Cells (Starlink)

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars. PVD EQUIPMENT ENGINEER, SOLAR CELLS (STARLINK) Starlink believes in providing fast, reliable internet to those that need it most. We design, build, and launch the world's largest and most advanced satellite constellation that is capable of delivering high-speed internet to even the most remote locations. As a Solar Cell PVD Equipment Engineer, you will own the PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition / sputtering) equipment used to manufacture silicon heterojunction solar cells at massive scale. You will work closely with our existing PVD Process Engineering team to ensure world-class equipment performance, reliability, and uptime. While the process team focuses on film properties (e.g., TCO layers), sheet resistance, and cell efficiency, you will be the hardware owner responsible for tool availability, stability, and scaling to support our ambitious goals. Your work will form the backbone of the Starlink network (photons of sunlight in is directly proportional to photons of data out to customers!) and help provide internet to tens of millions of customers all around the world.
