• We champion high levels of ownership and initiative, ensuring you have the autonomy to lead your own work while having access to a senior team for high-level technical collaboration and strategic guidance.

Are you an engineer or researcher ready to combine technical scale-up expertise with project leadership? We are looking for an R&D Researcher & Project Lead in Photovoltaic Process & Scale-up to join our team in Seville (Hybrid) and drive key technical activities within high-impact international initiatives, such as SOLARIS.

In this dynamic role, you will bridge the gap between process engineering and technical coordination. Whether you have years of experience or are a driven researcher ready to take the next step in your career, you will oversee the industrial scale-up of photovoltaic technologies (silicon/thin-film processing and cell/module assembly), manage international work packages, and apply Agile workflows to ensure efficient R&D execution within our team.

• Process Scale-up & Manufacturing Optimization: Lead and support the transition of PV material and component innovations from lab-scale research to pilot and industrial production. Analyze and optimize manufacturing workflows, ensuring compatibility of alternative materials with industrial processes.
• Technical Project Leadership: Serve as a key contributor in organizing research workflows, drafting technical documentation, and steering joint project activities to successful completion.
• Scientific Output & Solution Ideation: Author high-level technical deliverables, present research outcomes, and contribute to conceptualizing new technical initiatives, exploring novel solutions to real-world industry challenges in your areas of interest.
• International Partner Engagement: Act as a core technical liaison between research partners, process engineers, and industrial stakeholders, building and maintaining strong relationships within global R&D networks.
