Role Description

Form Energy is hiring a Senior Electrical Engineer to design, prototype and verify power conversion components and equipment in our battery power path. In addition to the electromechanical design and prototype work, you will develop verification plans and end-of-line test procedures to ensure a seamless transition from in-house prototypes to factory production. This includes driving the continuous improvement of our validation plans and capabilities, such as development of test fixtures for use in our Power Conversion Lab, Form Factory, or at contract manufacturer facilities.

You will showcase your ability to independently organize engineering documentation and requirements needed to interface with our Integration and BMS Electronics teams, as well as what is needed for our Supply Chain to achieve successful vendor engagement. This is an exciting opportunity to move some serious power at a company focused on creating a reliable and fully renewable electric grid year-round

What you'll do:

Identify and document requirements for key power conversion system components, as well as the auxiliary and BMS electronics that have mutual interfaces

Plan and execute tests that validate basic functionality and characterize performance of in-house prototypes and first-articles provided by vendors

Design and prototype assemblies and wiring systems that route, control, monitor, disconnect and protect the battery power path

Engage with external vendors and our Supply Chain to source electromechanical components that can meet design requirements at scale

Produce production-quality engineering documentation. This includes descriptive mechanical CAD drawings of panel layouts, busbars and circuit spacings, as well as electrical single- and multi-line drawings, conduit schedules and cable assemblies

Coordinate the release of drawings and bills of materials into our PLM database

Evaluate, propose and implement tools, equipment and protection systems necessary for the efficient, capable and safe operation of our test sites and product

Scale experience gained from your lab tests to real-world product applications through hands-on opportunities at our first-in-kind field installations

Support other aspects of the power conversion system design, test and release process and grow as team and product needs evolve

What you'll bring:

Bachelor’s degree or higher and 5+ years of experience in electrical engineering. Alternatively a PhD, and 2 years of relevant experience in electrical engineering

Electrical system design and test background in a product development environment, specifically for electric power generation, distribution, energy storage, or drivetrains

Strong understanding of circuit fundamentals, AC and DC power systems, and the thermal and mechanical implications of these circuits at high power and high voltage

Experience producing electrical and mechanical drawings in AutoCAD Electrical and SolidWorks, either through individual proficiency or through successfully contracting with external firms

Expertise in manipulating DC and AC bench supplies, oscilloscopes, current and voltage probes, power meters, data acquisition, hi-pot and continuity testers and other electronics test equipment

Ability to prototype electrical assemblies, with a focus on producing high quality build instructions to our support team informed by first hand experience and exceptional workmanship

Discipline around high-voltage (1500 V) and high-current (> 2 kA); experience with NFPA 70E a plus

Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain design decisions, summarize observations, and absorb information and requirements from other teams
