Electrochromic glass and film for automotive, architecture, and consumer electronics
Ambilight manufactures electrochromic (smart glass) products at scale using roll-to-roll production. The tech stack—MATLAB, COMSOL, Zemax, CAD, SAP, GC-MS, HPLC, LC-MS—reflects a materials-science-heavy operation focused on polymer synthesis, optical simulation, and chemical characterization. Hiring is concentrated in engineering and manufacturing with senior-level depth, while active projects cluster around new product development, equipment installation, and synthesis routes for conjugated polymers, indicating a company ramping manufacturing capacity and expanding the product portfolio.
Notable leadership hires: Production Lead, Sales Director
Ambilight develops electrochromic technology for dynamic light and heat control in glass and flexible film substrates. Founded in 2017, the company operates from California and China, with stated branches in Silicon Valley and West Lafayette. The product portfolio spans automotive, architecture, and consumer electronics segments. Operations center on mass production of large-area curved electrochromic products using third-generation roll-to-roll manufacturing processes. The org balances engineering, manufacturing, and research functions with a smaller sales footprint, typical of capital-intensive materials companies early in commercialization.
Engineering and R&D tools include MATLAB, COMSOL, Zemax, CAD variants (CATIA, Pro/ENGINEER, AutoCAD); chemical analysis via GC-MS, HPLC, LC-MS; enterprise systems: SAP, SQL, Python; visualization: Tableau, Power BI.
Active projects include new product development, equipment installation, polymer synthesis route design for conjugated polymers, device performance evaluation, and channel development strategy.
