We agree with Stanford recruiting guidelines.

Looking for recent graduates (or those about to graduate) that are excited to work in an early cleantech startup: We are hiring full time cleantech engineers to come help us solve the last big problem in solar power (see below). This is a great opportunity for anyone in MatSci, MechE, ChemE, EE, Physics, Applied Math and CS.

Solving Solar's Biggest Problem: Silver consumption is the top concern of solar cell manufacturers. Silver used on silicon cells accounts for 10% of global demand and represents 10% of the total module cost. The solar industry currently spends >$3 Bn/yr purchasing silver metallization pastes. Solar production is expected to rise 3-10x over the next 10 years and may be unsustainable without significant silver reduction. Furthermore, next generation solar cells use 70%-200% more silver than conventional cells, preventing higher efficiency modules from entering the market. We have created novel materials that are used in the “Aluminio” process to replace silver lines in next generation cells, which would enable cell makers to mass produce them. We believe that we can apply our technology to the entire solar cell and reduce silver consumption by 90%.

About Aluminio: Our mission is to develop cleantech materials that meaningfully improve their cost, efficiency, and sustainability. Our goal is to test with customers early in the process and quickly iterate to demonstrate commercial value. Customer validation is the greatest driver of value creation in a startup. We need to speed up the pace of innovation and convert new ideas into commercial products in 2-3 years instead of 7-10 years to combat climate change. See job info link above for details and how to apply. We are based in Berkeley/San Carlos.
