Quantum Dot Synthesis and Ink formulation Process Engineer

At Qurv, we create a paradigm shift in computer vision-based applications (automotive, XR, and robotics) by developing mass-deployable infrared image sensors that can enable machines to see better and more, unlocking new functionalities.

We are looking for a world-class Quantum Dot Synthesis and Ink Formulation Process Engineer to join our Barcelona team and work together to push the limits of our wide-spectrum image sensor technology. You will be working closely together with process, integration and device functions to invent and provide cutting-edge colloidal quantum dot materials that will play a significant role in shaping the company's future technologies.

How a day might look like :

• Design experimental strategies and perform lab work including the synthesis of colloidal quantum dots and formulation of inks for optoelectronic applications.
• Collaborate with the R&D team to produce samples and optimize colloidal quantum dots and ink formulations for optoelectronic devices.
• Develop metrology procedures and correlate end-of-line data to process parameters.
• Develop / improve quality control methodology for incoming and outgoing materials.
• Gather specifications from internal customers to deliver high-quality products and prototypes.
• Report results to cross-functional teams for feedback and further requirements definition.
• Work as needed with teams in design, process, equipment support, testing, and failure analysis to fully understand device performance and potential failure modes.
• Contribute towards transfer to waferscale processes and process troubleshooting.
• Drive to improve yield, streamline processes, and decrease cycle times.
• Work together with suppliers and industrial / academic collaborators on innovative processes and raw materials.
• Acquire and start-up synthesis equipment.
• Contribute to innovation and write invention disclosures.
• Help maintain and promote a safe working environment.

About you :
