Expert Scientist in Photovoltaic devices
This is an opportunity to join our team to develop the new generation of Peafowl photovoltaics.
About the Company
Peafowl Plasmonics is an innovative technology startup company that manufactures transparent solar cells to provide the next generation of IoT devices. The solar cells are suitable for making energy-efficient units self-sufficient, such as indoor sensors, displays, and wearables. Peafowl Solar Cell is the first direct plasmonic solar cell that converts light into electricity using plasmonic nanoparticles.
Plasmonic nanoparticles can absorb up to ten times more light than other known materials. Because Peafowl Solar Cell is so efficient at converting the light it intercepts into electricity, it can produce electricity even when very little light is captured. This is the key to the cell's ultra-high transparency.
Peafowl Plasmonics is active in the global market. With a strong team spirit and high productivity, they have created a safe and dynamic work environment. You will be part of a wonderful team with a great passion for making sustainable power solutions. The company has developed a pleasant environment adapted to each person's conditions, regardless of whether it concerns opportunities for travel, learning, training, or family life.
Tasks:
- Develop new generation of Peafowl photovoltaics
- Identify faults and possible improvements to the current Peafowl photovoltaic
