Job description

Job Responsibilities

• Develop and validate complex mathematical models and algorithms to simulate the physics of the slit coating process, including fluid flow, material properties (viscosity, surface tension, rheology), tool parameters (coating speed, coating gap, slot die head design), and thermal dynamics.
• Utilize CFD software to analyse and screen a broad range of tool parameters and material variables to identify optimal die geometry, ideal material properties (e.g., a target viscosity range), and a stable operating window without consuming expensive materials or time.
• Design and execute simulation experiments to test hypotheses, identify critical process parameters (e.g., coating speed, flow rate, die gap, substrate speed), and validate model accuracy against physical experimental data.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including design engineers, material scientists, and manufacturing teams to design highly focused DoE guided by the insights from simulation and validate the simulation models and confirm the optimized parameters in a real-world setting
• Analyse simulation results, interpret findings, and provide actionable insights and recommendations to improve coating quality, reduce defects, and enhance process efficiency.
• Document simulation methodologies, assumptions, and results comprehensively in technical reports and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.
• Stay current with advancements in simulation software, numerical methods, and relevant industry standards related to thin-film deposition and organic electronics.
