Senior Mechanical Engineer, Electrodes

About the role

The Electrode Mechanical Engineering team within the Core Technology group at Form is multidisciplinary and focused on delivering qualified battery anode and cathode 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 seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our team and play a crucial role in designing components for our battery cell design.

What You'll Do

• Lead the design of a full electrode assembly or complex sub-assembly integral to the battery cell electrodes and electrode stack assembly
• Develop functional requirements and DFMEAs in close collaboration with members of the Cell Engineering, Electrode Engineering, and Systems Engineering teams
• Perform hands-on prototyping of designs and collaborate with broader teams to build integrated prototypes
• Collaborate closely with the manufacturing team to gather and implement DFM / DFA feedback into designs
• Release designs consistent with company and team best practices (GD&T, drawings, tolerance analysis, etc)
• Demonstrate design functionality through analysis (e.g. FEA, CFD) and component- or system-level testing
• Work with external vendors, manufacturing engineers, and technical operations to transition designs from concept to prototype phase to high volume production
• Drive verification testing of your design work

What You'll Bring

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field; Bachelor's with 5+ years, or Master's with 3+ industry experience in mechanical design
• Proficiency in computer-aided design (CAD), specifically SolidWorks modeling and drafting
• Proficient in component design for mass manufacturing and assembly (DFMA), especially formed / stamped sheet metal and injection molded plastic components
• Proficient with prototyping techniques and working in a machine shop environment
• Experience working with batteries, energy storage, fuel cells, or electrolyzers is a plus
• Experience with plating technologies is a plus
• Experience with the design and verification of mechanical systems using FEA is a plus

Benefits

• Competitive salaries and stock options
• 100% of medical, dental, and vision premiums for full-time employees (80% for dependents) from day one
• At least 12 weeks of paid leave for new parents (up to 20 weeks for birthing parents)
