Original job description

Job Title: R&D Lab TechnicianJob DescriptionJoin our team as an R&D Lab Technician, where you will be an integral part of our laboratory testing and product development efforts. You will work on developing and testing adhesive, sealant, film, and encapsulant materials for solar applications. This role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to both small-scale and larger-scale laminate and solar panel assemblies, while also ensuring the quality and effectiveness of our materials through various testing and analysis methods.

Responsibilities

Prepare and test adhesive, sealant, film, and encapsulant materials used in solar applications.
Produce small-scale laminate samples using glass, films, adhesives, and sealants for product development and validation.
Support the progression from small laboratory samples toward larger-scale laminate and solar panel test assemblies.
Operate pilot-scale extrusion and lamination equipment used to manufacture and evaluate materials.
Perform analytical, optical, electrical, and physical testing on materials and finished samples.
Conduct repetitive sample testing while maintaining consistent accuracy, documentation, and attention to detail.
Monitor test results for trends, abnormalities, or unexpected behavior and proactively escalate observations to the development team.
Support accelerated weathering and environmental testing to understand long-term material and performance characteristics.
Assist with testing material substitutions when raw materials used overseas are not readily available or suitable for U.S. manufacturing.
Learn the operation of specialized laboratory, extrusion, and lamination equipment.
Troubleshoot equipment issues before escalating to maintenance, electrical, plumbing, or vendor support.
Assist with bringing recently relocated equipment into full working condition.
Develop a strong understanding of equipment operation, process parameters, and common failure points.
Participate in recurring technical discussions with Mandarin-speaking partners.
Review technical documentation, procedures, and testing methods written in Mandarin Chinese.
Help interpret the technical meaning and intent of procedures rather than simply providing word-for-word translation.
Communicate technical questions and information between U.S. and Chinese teams.
Maintain an organized, safe, and efficient laboratory environment.
Manage potentially large numbers of samples awaiting preparation, testing, or analysis.
Accurately label, track, record, and report experimental samples and test results.

Essential Skills

Professional proficiency in Mandarin Chinese and English, including the ability to understand and discuss technical information.
Prior hands-on laboratory, manufacturing, materials testing, engineering technician, or similar technical experience.
Strong mechanical aptitude and comfort working directly with laboratory and processing equipment.
Ability to safely use basic hand tools and perform hands-on troubleshooting.
Strong attention to detail and ability to recognize abnormal or out-of-trend test results.
Ability to work independently with general direction from a technical lead.
Strong organizational and documentation skills.
Ability to perform repetitive testing while maintaining consistent quality and attention to detail.
Demonstrated willingness to learn unfamiliar laboratory techniques, equipment, and processes.
Comfortable working in a development environment where equipment and processes may still require troubleshooting and refinement.
Ability to work safely with glass, heated equipment, chemicals, solvents, adhesives, and laboratory equipment according to established safety procedures.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Associate's or bachelor's degree in chemistry, materials science, chemical technology, engineering technology, polymers, or a related technical discipline.
Previous experience as a laboratory technician, R&D technician, materials technician, engineering technician, or chemical technician.
Experience working with adhesives or sealants, polymer films, solar or photovoltaic materials, laminates, and extrusion processes.
Experience supporting technology transfer, process development, pilot-scale manufacturing, or manufacturing scale-up.
Experience creating or updating SOPs and technical documentation.
Familiarity with ISO-regulated laboratory practices or routine equipment calibration.

Work EnvironmentThis position will work primarily in a specialized solar materials laboratory. The laboratory includes extrusion equipment, laminators, accelerated weathering equipment, analytical instrumentation, and equipment used for photovoltaic testing. The work involves hands-on sample preparation, glass cutting, lamination using heated equipment, solvent-based testing, and movement of samples between laboratory areas. As part of a small laboratory team, the successful candidate must be comfortable working independently while maintaining strong safety practices and communicating when assistance is required.
