Test Engineer, Systems Test

About the role

Form Energy is hiring a Test Engineer to join our Systems Test organization. In this role, you will be a key contributor to the deployment, execution, and data validation of major, multi-pack integrated test assets. These systems serve as the cornerstone of our validation strategy, verifying our custom battery management systems (BMS), power electronics, auxiliary subsystems, and overall system integration. You will be directly responsible for the aiding in the daily test execution, data gathering, troubleshooting, and initial reporting for our multi-pack validation campaigns. The ideal candidate pairs high technical capability in hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or physical laboratory environments with a rigorous first-principles troubleshooting mindset to keep testing on-schedule and safe. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute directly to the scaling of our battery technology and be part of a fast-moving, high-impact company with breakthrough technology and an incredible mission! Relocation assistance is available. This role is based at Form Factory 1 in Weirton, WV—an easy commute from the city of Pittsburgh, PA. This 550,000-square-foot facility is our hub for high-volume battery production and a leader in the new era of American energy manufacturing.

Responsibilities

• Assist in the daily operations, test sequencing, and safe execution of validation campaigns on multi-pack integrated test assets.
• Write and implement highly detailed, repeatable test procedures that physically validate auxiliary systems, BMS hardware, harnessing, and software/hardware integration points.
• Act as the primary hands-on triager when test anomalies occur, bridging hardware, software, controls, and fluidic systems to identify root causes.
• Process and review raw telemetry and data streams, validating data integrity and synthesizing findings into clear, actionable test reports.
• Manage daily lock-out/tag-out (LOTO) requirements, verify safety interlock setups, and actively maintain 5S standards within the high-energy laboratory environment.
• Partner with on-site facilities, operations, and technicians to coordinate power drops, chiller setups, and general mechanical alignments for new test runs.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Systems Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical discipline.
