Engineering Manager

Join us at **BT Imaging**, the trailblazer and market leader in luminescence imaging for solar materials, cells and modules, as we expand this inspection technology throughout the photovoltaic manufacturing value chain.

Did you know that each day, hundreds of millions of solar cells are made around the world to make solar panels? That’s more semiconductor material used than the entire chip industry combined. Gigafactories need to become faster, cheaper and smarter, and more inspection and data analysis power is needed. BT Imaging is the pioneer in luminescence imaging, which offer unparalleled X-ray like vision into the inner quality of solar wafers and cells. We’re poised to do much more in making this imaging technology proliferate in all segments of the PV industry, from research through to production, cells to modules.

**The Role**

In this role, the Engineering manager will have an incredibly exciting opportunity to lead cutting-edge technology that drives efficiency and innovation in solar cell manufacturing. Photoluminescence systems play a critical role in monitoring and analysing solar cells' quality and efficiency in real time, directly within the production line. This position not only involves solving complex engineering challenges but also contributes to advancing renewable energy solutions on a global scale. By optimising these systems, the Engineering Manager will have the opportunity to improve yield, reduce waste, and enhance the performance of solar cells, supporting a more sustainable future. Being part of such impactful, high-tech advancements in the solar industry makes this role immensely fulfilling for anyone passionate about engineering and renewable energy."
