# Manufacturing Engineer - Solar Module Manufacturing

**Solestial, Inc.** · 1121 West Warner Rd; Tempe, AZ 85284

Apply: https://jobs.lever.co/solestial/38a7ca6c-0509-4195-8c9a-9ba5da22dfec

## About the role

**The Company:**
Solestial is pioneering the future of space-based solar power by developing advanced solar technologies optimized for the harsh conditions of space. Our innovative, low-cost, and scalable solar arrays are engineered for next-generation satellites, spacecraft, and orbital infrastructure. We are driven by a mission to power the space economy and unlock limitless opportunities in orbit and beyond.
 
**The Role:**
As a **Manufacturing**** Engineer – Solar Module Manufacturing**, you will develop, optimize, and implement the materials and manufacturing processes used to build Solestial’s solar modules. You will work closely with Product/ Process Engineering, Manufacturing, Equipment, and Quality teams to translate module designs into reliable, repeatable, and scalable production processes.

##### Your Mission:

- Develop, optimize, and create manufacturing processes & documentation for solar module assembly and integration.

- Collaborate with design engineering in the evaluation and selection of materials, including polymers, adhesives, thermal interface materials, and electrical insulation materials.

- Translate product and design requirements into practical manufacturing processes, work instructions, and process specifications.

- Plan and execute process trials, experiments, and qualification activities to improve yield, quality, reliability, and manufacturability.

- Coordinate materials characterization, process validation, design verification, and hardware qualification testing.

- Troubleshoot materials, process, and integration issues in partnership with Manufacturing, Product, Equipment, and Quality teams.

- Support the transfer of new module designs and processes from development into production.

- Develop process controls, acceptance criteria, and standard methodologies that ensure consistent, high-quality module production.

- Support supplier selection, material qualification, and ongoing supplier improvement efforts.

- Identify opportunities to improve process capability, cycle time, cost, and scalability as production grows.

- Create and source customer packaging designs.

##### What You Bring:

- Bachelor’s degree in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field.

- At least 5 years of experience in process engineering, materials engineering, or manufacturing engineering, preferably within the solar, semiconductor, aerospace, or advanced manufacturing industries.

- Hands-on experience developing, optimizing, and implementing manufacturing processes for complex hardware or assemblies.

- Strong knowledge of materials selection, characterization, and testing, particularly polymers, adhesives, thermal interface materials, and electrical insulation materials.

- Experience translating product requirements into manufacturing processes, material specifications, process specifications, and work instructions.

- Experience with process validation, qualification testing, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement.

- Ability to use structured process-development tools such as DOE, SPC, process capability analysis, and PFMEA.

- Experience supporting the transfer of new products or processes from development into manufacturing.

- Familiarity with supplier selection, material qualification, supplier development, and ongoing performance evaluation.

- Strong cross-functional communication skills and the ability to work effectively with Product, Manufacturing, Equipment, and Quality teams.

##### What Gives You an Edge:

- Experience with solar cell or solar module manufacturing, assembly, and integration.

- Background in semiconductor, photovoltaic, aerospace, or other high-reliability manufacturing environments.

- Hands-on experience with module integration processes such as bonding, lamination, encapsulation, interconnection, thermal management, or insulation.

- Experience scaling new materials and processes from development through qualification and production.

- Familiarity with spaceflight hardware requirements, environmental testing, and qualification standards.

- A practical, hands-on approach to troubleshooting and a willingness to work directly with equipment, materials, and production teams.

- Comfort operating in a fast-paced environment where processes are still being developed and priorities evolve.

##### Our Benefits:

- Competitive salary

- Generous, high-quality medical, dental, and vision coverage on day one of employment

- 15 vacation days, 5 sick days, and 10 paid holidays annually - with an extended holiday break at year’s end

- 401K with employer match up to 4% of salary

- Employer-paid short-term and long-term disability and employer-sponsored life insurance

- Your work will literally go to space!
