NPI Quality Engineer

About the role

The NPI Quality Engineer – Solar Simulator & Calibration will own the reference device system that underpins power measurement across solar cell and module production. This position manages the full lifecycle of reference cells and reference modules (golden and standard modules) – from selection, build and verification through deployment, periodic re-verification and replacement – and operates and calibrates cell and module solar simulators (cell testers and flash testers) to keep power measurement accurate, consistent and traceable across production lines, global sites and accredited external laboratories.

Responsibilities

• Establish and maintain the reference cell and reference module system, including selection criteria, build and verification processes, and the intended use and management rules for each reference tier.
• Plan new reference cells and modules in line with new products and technology changes (e.g., TOPCon, bifacial, tandem).
• Select reference cell and module candidates and perform initial evaluation of power performance and stability (I-V, EL and visual inspection).
• Determine reference values through accredited external laboratory measurements (e.g., NREL, TÜV, Fraunhofer ISE) and internal cross-checks, and manage registration and deployment
