About the role

Halocell Energy is developing and manufacturing perovskite photovoltaics for a broad spectrum of applications. Leveraging material engineering and roll-to-roll processing, Halocell delivers a new generation of photovoltaics, empowering customers with scalable, efficient energy harvesting solutions that perform reliably across a wide range of lighting conditions. We are seeking a Materials Engineer with hands-on perovskite experience to join our team in Wagga Wagga, regional NSW.

Key responsibilities

  • Formulate and optimise perovskite inks and related stack materials for coating and printing.

  • Build and test devices from lab through to printed modules and support transfer onto the roll-to-roll line.

  • Characterise films and devices and run stability work under light, heat and humidity for further optimisations.

  • Support production on ink batching, shelf life, quality checks and incoming material qualification.

About you

  • A PhD in perovskite photovoltaics, halide perovskite materials, or a closely related field.

  • A strong background spanning perovskite chemistry, materials science, materials engineering, processing and device physics.

  • Prior experience with blade coating and/or slot-die coating, ideally in an industrial setting, using low-viscosity fluids in sheet-to-sheet or roll-to-roll mode.

  • Hands-on lab experience, including safety in a wet-chemistry environment and safe use of hazardous materials.

  • Willingness to relocate to Wagga Wagga, NSW, and Australian working rights.

  • A proactive, collaborative mindset and strong problem-solving skills.

Benefits

  • A hands-on role on products that are printed and shipped, not a pure research post.

  • Scope across ink formulation, device stack and the roll-to-roll line, in a young, small and energetic team where your work has real impact.

  • Exposure to outdoor and space applications, and to materials partners on electrodes, transport layers and precursors.

  • Collaboration with industry and university partnerships.

  • Opportunity to expand IP portfolio.

  • Company share reward scheme.
