- Support root cause analysis (RCA), corrective and preventive actions (CAPA), and deviation management.
- Collaborate with maintenance, quality, and operations personnel to improve & sustain equipment reliability and uptime.

- Lead process validation, PFMEA, control plan development, and pilot builds.
- Manage engineering changes and ensure smooth implementation into production.
- Serve as a technical liaison between Engineering, Quality, Operations, Supply Chain, and other departments

- Demonstrated expertise in manufacturing processes and industrial engineering principles
- Proven ability to lead complex technical projects without formal authority
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and data-driven decision-making skills
- Experience with Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or similar methodologies

Solar power is one of the most powerful tools humanity has in our fight against climate change. But for solar to truly scale to its full potential, we need to create renewable supply chains and a vibrant secondary market for upcycled panels and recycled materials. Since its launch in 2022, SOLARCYCLE has assembled a world-class management team with experience scaling companies and organizations such as Amazon, Nextracker, Sierra Club, Solaria, and SunPower. The company has secured high-volume contracts with industry leaders such as AES, EDF Renewables North America, EDP Renewables North America, Greenbacker, Ørsted, Qcells, Silfab, Silicon Ranch, and Sunrun. This is the next frontier - ensuring a cleaner, more sustainable and domestic supply of the critical minerals needed for the next wave of solar. We exist to make clean energy massively scalable and even more sustainable by radically advancing recycling technology and infrastructure for the solar industry. If this resonates with you, we really want to meet you.
