Job Title: Senior R&D Mechanical Engineer - Battery Module Engineering

Form Energy, Inc. is seeking a highly skilled Senior R&D Mechanical Engineer to join our Cell Engineering team in Berkeley, CA. As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for designing and developing novel battery cell concepts that meet operational performance targets, at cost and with high reliability.

We are looking for a talented mechanical engineer with a strong background in design and prototyping to join our Prototype Design team. You will work closely with our Cell Design and Systems Engineering teams to iterate upon new design concepts on our prototype module production line in CA.

Your primary focus will be to create small quantities of novel design concepts, but success in the role will require frequent travel to Form Headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts, as well as Form Factory 1 in West Virginia to understand the product and manufacturing process, support implementation of designs, and maintain continuity of knowledge.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead the prototyping efforts for first of a kind component and module level concepts
  • Collaborate with the Cell Design, Systems Engineering, and Manufacturing teams to generate functional requirements and validate new design concepts
  • Design and commission pilot scale cell assembly production equipment and tooling
  • Coordinate with our Supply Chain team to outsource high volume procurement of parts and hardware for our test vehicles and equipment
  • Work with manufacturing engineers and technicians on our Build teams to transition prototype designs to standard test vehicles
  • Conduct DFMEAs and failure analyses on production parts and assembly processes
Requirements:
  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field; Bachelor's with 4+ years, or Master's with industry experience in mechanical design
  • Proficiency in computer-aided design (CAD), specifically SolidWorks modeling and drafting
  • Strong working knowledge of a wide variety of fabrication methodologies for plastics and metals. Hands-on machine shop proficiency is a strong plus.
  • Experience with the design of experiments and data-driven validation of novel concepts
  • Experience influencing, communicating, and collaborating with engineering and business functions
What We Offer:

Form Energy, Inc. offers competitive salaries, stock options, and a holistic benefits package to ensure all employees have what they need to thrive while working here. We cover 100% of medical, dental, and vision premiums for full-time employees - and 80% of healthcare premiums for dependents. We also offer at least 12 weeks of paid leave for new parents (up to 20 weeks for birthing parents), and generous vacation policies to give employees time to recharge when needed.

We strive to form a team as diverse as the communities we will serve with our technology, and are committed to maintaining an inclusive environment for all employees. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer, and encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply to our open jobs.
