Role Description
The Cell Engineering team within the Technology group at Form is multidisciplinary and focused on delivering qualified battery cell designs that meet operational performance targets, at cost and with high reliability, from controlled processes on high-volume manufacturing lines for Form Energy's utility-scale multi-day energy storage system.
We're hiring two hands-on Senior Mechanical Engineers to join the Cell Interfaces Team within Cell Engineering. In these roles, you will play a key part in helping us develop the mechanical and electrical interfaces between the Cell and System. These roles are responsible for the design of components and assemblies from concept to production, including engineering analysis, verification testing, and supporting manufacturing process development. Our ideal team members exhibit an ability to creatively solve Mechanical Design challenges in a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary environment and should have at least one of the following core skills and experiences: fluid product development experience from concept to production, experience with mechanical assembly and tight-tolerance design of large components, or high-volume production of electromechanical products.
What you'll do:
Lead the design of several critical cell components
Develop functional requirements in close collaboration with members of the Cell Engineering and Systems Engineering teams
Validate designs through a combination of analysis (e.g. FEA) and hands-on testing
Analyze component and assembly tolerances, and develop cost/performance/reliability trades
Collaborate with the Test and Reliability teams to deliver designs that meet cost, performance, and reliability targets
Work with manufacturing engineers and technical operations to transition designs from the prototype stage to high-volume production
What you'll bring:
Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field; Bachelor's with 4+ years, or Master's with industry experience in Mechanical Design and proficiency in CAD
Demonstrated experience with the design and verification testing of electromechanical systems or fluid systems
Direct experience with high-volume manufacturing, fabrication, and prototyping techniques; experience with tight-tolerance, multi-material component design for harsh environments
Excellent communicator across a range of engineering and business functions
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment
