What is the difference between Remote Photovoltaic Research vs Remote Solar System Design Engineer?
| Aspect | Remote Photovoltaic Research |
|---|
Remote Photovoltaic Research focuses on developing new photovoltaic materials, improving solar cell efficiency, and conducting experimental studies. It often requires advanced degrees in engineering or physics, with a strong emphasis on research and analysis. Remote Solar System Design Engineers, on the other hand, primarily design and optimize solar power systems for clients, requiring skills in system layout, software tools, and project management. Both roles are common in the solar industry and may share certifications like NABCEP. While research roles are more lab and theory-based, design engineers work directly on project implementation.

Job description
Business Development Manager - Thin Film Solar
Reports To: Vice President of Sales - Thin Film
Location: North America, Remote (Cupertino, CA preferred)
About Vital
Vital is a global leader in advanced materials, thin-film technologies, and critical material recycling. We partner with the world's leading photovoltaic manufacturers, equipment suppliers, and research organizations to develop materials supporting next-generation solar technologies.
Position Summary
Vital is seeking a Business Development Manager - Thin Film Solar to grow our business within the global photovoltaic industry. Reporting to the Vice President of Sales - Thin Film, this role is ideal for an engineer or technical professional with approximately 5 years of experience in thin-film photovoltaics who is interested in transitioning into a customer-facing commercial role.
The successful candidate will leverage their technical knowledge to develop new business opportunities, build customer relationships, and support the commercialization of materials used in Perovskite, HJT, CdTe, and tandem solar technologies.
Responsibilities
- Develop new business opportunities across the thin-film photovoltaic supply chain.
- Build relationships with solar manufacturers, equipment suppliers, material suppliers, and research organizations.
- Support customer qualification programs from initial engagement through commercialization.
- Coordinate technical and commercial discussions between customers and Vital's global engineering and manufacturing teams.
- Prepare quotations, forecasts, and customer presentations.
- Monitor industry trends and competitive activity.
- Represent Vital at customer visits, conferences, and industry events.
- Travel approximately 25-40%, including international travel.
Qualifications
Required
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, or a related technical discipline.
- Approximately 5 years of experience in photovoltaics, thin-film deposition, semiconductor materials, vacuum coating, or a related industry.
- Strong technical aptitude with an interest in business development and customer engagement.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills.
- Self-motivated, organized, and comfortable working with global teams.
Preferred Experience
Experience with one or more of the following:
- Perovskite photovoltaics
- HJT or CdTe solar
- Tandem solar technologies
- PVD sputtering, evaporation, ALD, or CVD
- Thin-film materials or high-purity chemicals
- Sputtering targets or evaporation materials
Who You Are
You're naturally curious, enjoy working with people, and are energized by solving customer challenges. You have a solid technical foundation and understand the photovoltaic industry, but you're looking for an opportunity to apply that knowledge in a commercial role where you can help shape business strategy, build customer relationships, and drive growth.
Why Vital?
- Join a global leader in advanced materials and critical metals.
- Work directly with the companies developing the next generation of solar technology.
- Be part of a fast-growing business supporting Perovskite, HJT, CdTe, and tandem photovoltaics.
- Build a long-term career with opportunities to grow into broader commercial leadership roles.
