Our mission is to invigorate America with scalable, reliable, and low-cost energy. Our fully operational 5GW solar module facility in Wilmer, Texas, can manufacture more than 20,000 modules every 24 hours. By the time you finish reading this paragraph, we will have produced two solar panels that will power American homes and fuel domestic AI. We're focused on building advanced American manufacturing and we're passionate about engineering a better future filled with abundant energy.\nThe Role\nT1 Energy is looking to hire an Equipment Manager to lead all equipment engineering and maintenance operations at our G2 solar cell fab in Rockdale, Texas. This is a senior leadership role for someone who has managed complex multi-platform equipment environments in a high-volume manufacturing settings and knows how to keep critical tools running at peak performance.\nYou've built maintenance programs, led equipment teams, and know what it means to own uptime in a production environment where downtime is never acceptable. You're equally comfortable reviewing an OEE dashboard and getting hands-on with a tool that's down.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn all equipment engineering and maintenance operations across the G2 solar cell fab, covering a broad portfolio of multi-platform manufacturing tools.\n\nLead and develop a team of equipment engineers and maintenance technicians across shifts.\n\nEstablish and manage preventative and predictive maintenance programs that maximize equipment uptime and reliability.\n\nDrive equipment qualification, installation, and acceptance activities for new tool installations and upgrades.\n\nOwn spare parts strategy, inventory management, and vendor relationships to ensure rapid response to equipment issues.\n\nMonitor and improve OEE across the fab, identifying chronic downtime contributors ands driving systematic resolution.\n\nLead root cause analysis for equipment failures and implement corrective actions that stick.\n\nPartner with Process, Facilities, and EHS teams to ensure tools operate safely, cleanly, and within specification.\n\nManage equipment vendor relationships and service contracts to ensure performance and accountability.\n\nSupport fab ramp activities including tool installation, qualification, and operator training.\n\nWho You Are\nAn experienced equipment leader who has managed multi-platform tool sets in a semiconductor, solar, or advanced manufacturing environment.\n\nDeeply knowledgeable in maintenance strategy, equipment reliability, and OEE improvement.\n\nA strong people manager who builds technically sharp, responsive maintenance teams.\n\nSystematic and thorough in your approach to equipment programs - nothing runs on luck under your watch.\n\nCalm and decisive when tools go down and production is waiting.\n\nQualifications\n10+ years of equipment engineering and maintenance leadership experience in a semiconductor, solar cell, or advanced manufacturing environment.\n\nDemonstrated experience managing multi-platform equipment environments including CVD, diffusion, implant, metrology, wet process, and related toolsets.\n\nProven track record building and managing preventive and predictive maintenance programs.\n\nStrong understanding of OEE metrics and systematic approaches to equipment reliability improvement.\n\nExperience managing equipment teams across multiple shifts.\n\nHands-on experience with equipment installation, qualification, and vendor management.\n\nBachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field preferred.\n\nThe T1 Way\nWe move fast, expect accountability, and treat people with respect. We also have a no-jerks policy: we don't tolerate big egos, bad behavior or \"that's not my job attitude\". Be sharp, be honest, be human.
