About Us


At Active Surfaces, we are on a mission to redefine solar energy's role in combating climate change by unlocking vast solar potential where it was previously unimaginable. Pioneering an MIT-patented, ultra-thin film flexible solar technology, we envision transforming urban landscapes and other structurally limited areas into power-generating assets, significantly increasing solar adaptability to the built environment.

Founded in 2022, Active Surfaces is a venture-backed company supported by Safar Partners, Lendlease, QVT, Sabanci Holdings, MassCEC, Venture for Climate, and Third Derivative amongst others. Our team boasts over 60 years of experience in roll-to-roll manufacturing and has been recognized on TEDx and the Forbes 30 under 30 list. Active Surfaces has already garnered strong support from F500 firms, national labs, and top accelerators that all believe our efficient, low-cost, flexible panels can significantly accelerate solar deployment, achieving gigaton-scale CO2 emission reductions.

Our team is now looking to expand. We are seeking a highly motivated and creative Material Chemist to join our our R&D team and contribute to the development, prototyping, and building of next-gen solar devices and beyond!

Come join us to revolutionize solar and fight climate change!

About the Role


Description

As a Material Chemist, you will be a key player in our R&D efforts to advance solar thin-film devices. Your expertise in the synthesis and characterization of thin-film semiconductor materials will be vital in driving the development of our next-generation solar devices. You will see your work directly translate from small wet bench synthesis into larger scale manufacturing and production of the next generation of thin-film photovoltaics. Working directly with the Founder & Chief Technology Officer (CTO), you will take a leading role in developing, testing, and vetting semi-conductor materials that are used in our device stacks, to be integrated into our solar products.
