REC Group – Simulation & Modelling Engineer, Module Technology

Founded in Norway in 1996, REC Group is an international pioneering solar energy company with a strong footprint in North America, Europe and Asia. We are part of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), a Fortune Global 500 company that shares our passion for bold innovations that empower people with clean energy solutions and drive global energy transitions. A trusted partner for customers, consumers and employees, we are “Solar’s most trusted”!

We are looking for an R&D Engineer, with a keen mind for R&D design of solar module products. The candidate will be responsible for developing theoretical models and simulation platforms to assess the module performance based on electrical, thermal and environmental behaviour of the solar modules. The candidate should be able to predict CTM loss of a module and identify high efficiency cost effective, reliable design to improve the PV module performance.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• To develop the PV module performance model based on the electrical, thermal and mechanical behavior using a commercially available software.
• To work with a cross functional team to develop test plans, analyze test data, guide failure analysis, and quantify reliability and lifetime projections of photovoltaic module.
• Build-up and conduct simulations and modelling to reduce CTM losses to improve the module level performance and energy yield.
• Knowledge and experience in modeling/simulation software is required.

ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• Assist R&D and process teams with technical analyses, troubleshooting and improvement projects.
• Plan, coordinate and execute product enhancements to module design with external collaborators.
• Drive project schedule and technical enquiries. Strategize testing/characterization methods.

Qualifications

• B.S. degree or MSc in Physics, Electrical Engineering or Materials Science Field.
• In-depth knowledge and experience in MATLAB, PSpice, LabView so on.
• Knowledge in basic characterization and measurement tools.
• In-depth knowledge in electrical circuit diagram and equivalent circuit of semiconductor device.
• Excellent team worker
• Ability to make progress independently.
• Ability to co-operate with different professionals (operations, equipment suppliers, technology institutes, supply chain, operation)
• Working experience in Solar/Semiconductors/Electronics manufacturing industries is an advantage, but not necessary
