About Us
BGE (Nigeria) Solar FZE is a leading enterprise in the new energy photovoltaic cell industry, committed to driving sustainable development and innovation. As we expand our global footprint, we are seeking exceptional local talent in Nigeria to join our dynamic team.
Position Overview
We are seeking detail-oriented and technical Solar Cell Process Technicians to join our manufacturing operations. In this hands-on role, you will monitor, fine-tune, and maintain the chemical, thermal, and deposition processes across our high-volume silicon solar cell production lines—ensuring high cell conversion efficiency, optimal yield, and zero defect rates.
Key Responsibilities
- Oversee automated silicon cell production equipment across core fabrication stages: chemical texturing/alkali etching, phosphorus/boron diffusion, PECVD anti-reflective coating, laser contact opening (LCO), metallization screen printing, and firing furnaces.
- Monitor real-time parameters (temperatures, gas flows, chemical concentrations, deposition rates) using Statistical Process Control (SPC) tools to maintain target yields and prevent batch deviations.
- Perform routine quality checks using EL (Electroluminescence) imaging, IV curve testing, and optical measurement equipment to detect micro-cracks, surface defects, or color variations.
- Perform routine preventive maintenance (PM), chemical bath replacements, screen changes, and basic mechanical/electronic troubleshooting when alarms or process stoppages occur.
- Strictly adhere to cleanroom standards (Class 1,000/10,000) and follow chemical safety protocols for handling hazardous production materials (eg, HF, silane, acids, pastes).
Qualifications & Requirements
- OND, HND, or B.Sc / B.Eng in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Applied Physics, Materials Science, or a related technical discipline.
- 1–3+ years of experience in solar cell manufacturing, semiconductor fabrication, or advanced automated industrial manufacturing.
- Good understanding of silicon wafer processing or automated machine operations.
- Hands-on familiarity with measurement instruments (calipers, multimeters) and computer literacy (MS Excel, Manufacturing Execution Systems / MES).
- Ability to follow technical SOPs and read basic equipment control interfaces.
- Ability to work in full cleanroom apparel (“bunny suits”), stand for long periods, lift equipment up to 20 kg, and work 12-hour rotating shifts.
