- 3+ years of experience in PV module manufacturing, semiconductor manufacturing, or high-precision automation.
- Hands-on experience with cell cutting, stringing/soldering, robotic layup, and/or automated interconnection equipment.
- Experience tuning and optimizing stringer performance (throughput, breakage rate, alignment accuracy).
- Ability to define and tune soldering profiles, recipes, flux chemistry, and wetting parameters to minimize thermal stress.
- Own operation, maintenance, and performance of upstream equipment (cell cutters, stringers, layup robots, conveyors, and upstream stations).
- Lead equipment troubleshooting and structured root-cause analysis to improve throughput, yield, and equipment uptime.
- Proficiency with PLC-controlled equipment; familiarity with SCADA, MES, SPC, DOE, and Minitab or JMP is relevant.
- Serve as an onsite subject-matter expert who leads and trains technicians and operators.
