Role Description


Form Energy is seeking a talented and experienced Staff Battery Engineer to join our Electrode Performance Team within the dynamic Electrode Engineering Organization.

Our Electrode Engineering organization is a cross-disciplinary group of experts in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Process Engineering.

Together, we're responsible for designing, developing, and manufacturing our cutting-edge electrode technology for Form Energy's iron-air multi-day battery product.

As a Staff Battery Engineer, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the performance and reliability of the Cathode in Form Energy's product-scale test vehicles and batteries, making significant contributions to the operational success of our Iron-Air Battery as a whole.

We are looking for someone who has hands-on experience in the development and testing of electrochemical devices and a proactive, interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving.


What you'll do:


Prioritize safety as you carry out the entire electrochemical testing and battery operation process, ranging from the design phase, to implementation, and finally to post-test investigation.

Design, execute, and interpret Cathode electrochemical tests in large- and lab-scale test vehicles and Form Energy field-deployed batteries

Identify performance gaps in product testing compared to R&D-scale electrochemical data and take action to close those gaps.

Own, perform, and thoroughly document Root Cause Analyses to identify opportunities for improvement and recommend corrective actions.

Collaborate closely with our product and battery testing teams to analyze complex electrochemical data

Pre/post-test materials characterization of electrodes in collaboration with our internal material experts and external vendors

Mentor, guide, and support team members with your expertise and practical experience.

What you'll bring:

7+ years industry experience in testing and evaluating electrochemical systems

Experience integrating and interpreting complex electrochemical data collected from multiple sources

Solid communication skills within a group of peers and the broader organization, including remote team members

Expertise with failure prediction and investigation methods, such as RCA and FMEA

Hands-on practical experience with electrochemical systems, particularly in deployed market-ready products. Experience in fuel cells, electrolyzers, or secondary storage electrodes is a plus.

Experience with experimental design and statistical software such as JMP, Minitab, etc. is a plus.
