Form Energy is a manufacturing and energy technology company developing long-duration iron-air battery systems for grid-scale energy storage. The company has been recognized by TIME, MIT Technology Review, and Fast Company for innovation in climate tech. Form Energy has signed contracts with leading US electric utilities and is scaling production at a high-volume manufacturing facility in West Virginia.
The Advanced Product Development team is responsible for architecting and designing the next generation of iron-air battery systems—cells, modules, packs, and support systems. This team works ahead of production programs, translating electrochemistry breakthroughs and system requirements into mechanical designs that scale to high-volume manufacturing.
As a Mechanical Engineer II, you will support the design, build, and test of hardware for next-generation iron-air batteries. You will have a hands-on role in designing next-generation system-level designs and parts for volume manufacturing. Your work will span heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and mechanics. You will integrate tightly with experienced engineers to write and execute verification test plans and iterate on designs using data-driven analysis. You'll be part of a large cross-functional team bringing energy storage systems from concept through release to mass manufacturing.
Key responsibilities:
- Lead hands-on prototyping and verification testing of subsystem designs
- Drive instrumentation, data collection, and data analysis for system-level validation builds
- Own design of components and assemblies for volume manufacturing
- Run and analyze trials to inform specifications and future design direction
- Execute ambitious product development processes on tight timelines
Relocation assistance is available.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field with 1+ years of experience in mechanical design, OR Master's degree with research or professional engineering experience
- Proficiency with CAD for designing parts and assemblies
- Exposure to writing, executing, and analyzing test plans to make data-driven decisions
- Experience with prototyping techniques and working in a lab environment
- Strong fundamentals in heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and mechanics
