Teams at Active Surfaces

Operate, maintain, and improve roll-to-roll coating and converting equipment to produce flexible solar panels. Translate lab processes into repeatable manufacturing protocols, run experiments, CAD parts, test and characterize panels, and drive yield improvements with strong process control.

Maintain, troubleshoot, and commission roll-to-roll coating and converting equipment and supporting facility systems. Manage preventive maintenance, spare-parts inventory, vendor relationships, CAD part design/fabrication, and partner with process engineers to improve uptime, reliability, and yield while ensuring safety and documentation compliance.

Operate and maintain sputtering and thermal evaporation tools, develop and document thin-film deposition and packaging/encapsulation processes, characterize films and devices, troubleshoot vacuum systems, and transfer processes toward manufacturing while maintaining lab safety and process control.
