Jobs at Form Energy

Lead Design for Reliability for electro-mechanical plant subsystems, define reliability requirements and validation roadmaps, design and run accelerated lifetime tests (focus on industrial control panels and outdoor power electronics), perform DFMEAs and root cause analysis, mentor peers, and champion safety across cross-functional teams.

Design and validate industrial control panels for high-voltage battery systems. Create schematics, layouts, BOMs in EPLAN, select components rated to 600VAC/2000VDC, manage vendors, execute high-voltage testing, ensure NEC/UL 508A compliance, and support DFMEA and cross-functional integration.

Lead end-to-end product delivery and validation for multi-day battery technology. Manage and integrate systems, electrical, firmware, and software workstreams, enforce PDP, mitigate risks, drive technical decisions, and mentor program managers and engineers to ensure successful launch and commercialization.

Lead sourcing strategy for system-level electrical and mechanical components for iron-air battery systems. Own supplier relationships, negotiate contracts and pricing, run cost-model analyses, monitor market and technology risks, and collaborate with leadership, engineering, and supply teams to enable manufacturing scale-up.

Design, implement, and validate dynamical battery models and BMS control and state-estimation algorithms in MATLAB/Simulink. Lead system identification experiments, define BMS performance and hardware interfaces, enable Simulink-based code generation for embedded deployment, and integrate controls into a system-level digital twin. Support limited travel for prototype bring-up and testing.

Lead and grow a West Coast recruiting team focused on hardware talent. Partner with engineering leaders and People Ops to set hiring strategy, design sourcing for niche hardware roles, own recruiting metrics, standardize practices across sites, and strengthen employer branding to attract top engineering talent.

Design, build, and deploy lab test equipment and test stands for iron-air battery cells, modules, and supporting electronics. Develop mechanical and fluid handling systems, perform engineering analysis (FEA, heat transfer, fluid mechanics), collaborate with electrical and operations teams to diagnose and keep tests online, create documentation and change management, train technicians, and ensure safety.

Lead multi-site IT infrastructure and end-user services including identity, endpoints, networking, cloud tenancy, service desk, procurement, and ITGCs. Build metrics-driven, audit-ready operations, manage vendors and budgets, mature incident/change/backup processes, and coach distributed engineering and service teams supporting R&D, labs, and manufacturing.

Lead implementation of dimensional management and GD&T standards (ASME Y14.5-2018), own tolerance analysis workflows, ensure manufacturability and serviceability, drive standards adoption across design, quality, manufacturing and supply chain, mentor engineers, and maintain engineering standard operating procedures for high-volume production.

Partner with Engineering and R&D leadership to develop and manage expense and capital budgets, analyze spending versus plan, drive forecasting and reporting routines, support internal controls and accruals, and build dashboards and process improvements to inform decision-making for the engineering/R&D organization.

Lead and build the company's corporate compliance program covering securities law, SEC reporting, SOX, insider trading, government contracts, environmental and safety regulations, and governance. Advise business teams, develop policies and training, manage outside counsel and auditors, support ESG and SOX efforts, and monitor regulatory developments to ensure compliance across manufacturing and commercial operations.

Lead process development for lab-scale battery commissioning and testing. Develop and optimize test procedures, documentation, and automation using Python and in-house software. Ensure safety, data integrity, and cross-functional alignment while supporting deployment, maintenance, and training of test systems.

Design and deliver custom electrical test equipment and maintain integration test beds for BMS and control systems. Develop test automation (software/firmware), HIL and reliability test infrastructure, collaborate with product teams to diagnose and fix hardware and software issues.

Lead controls architecture and state management for multi-day energy storage. Author Concept of Operations, design hierarchical state machines, drive model-based code generation (Simulink/Stateflow→C), develop unit/integration/coverage and HIL test strategies, and support limited onsite bring-up and testing.

Lead global sourcing strategy for stamped, formed, and expanded mesh metal parts. Develop supplier relationships, negotiate contracts and pricing, analyze markets and risks, optimize costs and lead times, and collaborate cross-functionally to qualify suppliers and execute sourcing plans.

Lead design and implementation of a unified HIL/SIL test platform: define requirements, architect system, build device drivers and user interfaces, scale SIL cloud infrastructure, and troubleshoot electrical and software systems across hardware-software integration.

Lead design, prototyping, and testing of the hydrogen management subsystem for iron-air batteries. Build analytical fluid models, validate first-of-a-kind prototypes, enable design for high-volume manufacturing, engage vendors, collaborate with controls/electrical teams, mentor junior engineers, and work with compliance to achieve safety certification.

Lead design, prototyping, and integration of mechanical subsystems for iron-air battery packs. Build thermal analytical models, validate first-of-a-kind prototypes, optimize for manufacturability and cost, manage vendor and manufacturing handoff, collaborate with electrical/controls, and mentor junior engineers while championing lab safety.

Design, develop, and own component-to-system-level test strategies for energy storage products. Design electromechanical and high-voltage test systems, troubleshoot test stands, select DAQ and sensors, analyze large test datasets, report findings, and lead continuous improvement and mentorship of junior staff.

Develop and maintain microcontroller firmware for the Battery Management System, derive software/hardware specs to meet UL standards, collaborate with cross-functional teams, support field deployment and debugging, contribute to unit/integration test suites, and improve firmware engineering processes.
