Daily Duties at First Solar, Inc.:

As the project manager, I was responsible for design, construction and operation of a $500K experimental test stand used for development and testing of ceramic rotary and planar sputter targets on large production magnetrons. Once the test stand was completed I managed magnetron testing by integrating inputs from a diverse team of engineers and technologists. This was a fast paced project in support of a new production line being built overseas. In another project I was responsible for sputter deposition of thin film ceramic materials on glass coupons for improving the efficiency of cadmium telluride thin film solar cells. I worked in a collaborative role with a large R&D team. In a related project I was responsible for quantifying the engineering specifications of a multi-million dollar R&D vacuum thin film sputter tool to be manufactured by a German company. This required that I collect multiple inputs from the R&D team and translate those inputs into a detailed engineering specification for the German company. The company is now laying off 20% of its work force as it winds down worldwide manufacturing operations and retools operations with new production equipment.


What they like about First Solar, Inc.:

The social vibrance of a hiring firm is very important to you. Your ability to make and maintain friendships there is a critical part of your decision. You would likely be dissatisfied with a workplace that is quiet, cold, or otherwise not particularly social. When you investigate a new hiring company, ask recruiters, managers, and potential co-workers about the social life and opportunities there. This is especially important when you are relocating; moving dramatically alters your social sphere both inside and outside the workplace.
