Responsibilities:

• Develop machine learning models that based on a variety of inputs/parameters (i.e. thickness, temperature, density, time, etc.), will predict how ink/coatings will appear on the surface of glass.
• Design new patterns and optimize parameters to maximize solar efficiency and aesthetics
• Create large scale simulations for BIPV products to test mechanical and electrical properties
• Investigate new thin film coatings for photovoltaic applications

Compensation:

• We offer a salary of $70,000-$95,000/year based on experience, plus bonus based on performance.

Benefits:

• Full time permanent position
• Extended Health & Dental benefits
