Jobs at Form Energy

Design, develop, and improve test manufacturing processes for electro-mechanical energy storage systems. Create fixtures and workstations, optimize workflows, manage BOMs, inventory, quality control, and produce clear assembly work instructions while collaborating with R&D, test development, and execution teams.

Drive mechanical design, prototyping, and validation of experimental electrochemical cell architectures from concept to test. Perform engineering analysis (FEA, CFD, tolerance stacks), manage prototyping (in-house and vendor), maintain design records, and mentor junior staff while partnering with battery scientists and materials researchers to de-risk early-stage product concepts.

Lead multi-site IT infrastructure and end-user services including identity, endpoints, networking, cloud tenancy, service desk, procurement, and ITGCs. Build metrics-driven, audit-ready operations, manage vendors and budgets, mature incident/change/backup processes, and coach distributed engineering and service teams supporting R&D, labs, and manufacturing.

Lead and build the company's corporate compliance program covering securities law, SEC reporting, SOX, insider trading, government contracts, environmental and safety regulations, and governance. Advise business teams, develop policies and training, manage outside counsel and auditors, support ESG and SOX efforts, and monitor regulatory developments to ensure compliance across manufacturing and commercial operations.

Lead and develop a team of process technicians to produce, document, and characterize prototype battery components. Oversee daily operations, drive process improvements, train staff, ensure KPI targets for yield and turnaround, and support equipment installation and scaling of materials preparation and production processes.

Lead mechanical architecture and end-to-end design for next-generation iron-air energy storage systems, spanning thermal, fluid, and structural subsystems. Drive first-principles modeling, prototype builds, test campaigns, supplier engagement, and design-for-manufacturing to scale products from concept to high-volume production while ensuring safety and cross-functional alignment.

Support development and improvement of Form Energy's battery test stands and methods. Develop test methodologies, write and review test protocols, troubleshoot cells and systems, verify test metadata reliability, and perform RCAs and Gage R&R to ensure consistent battery performance.

Own daily lab operations across multiple facilities: perform safety walkthroughs, manage inventory and PPE procurement, run preventative maintenance and CMMS records, coordinate vendors and equipment moves, and resolve escalated lab-support requests to keep labs safe and operational.

Lead development of aqueous slurries and dispersions for iron-air battery electrodes. Design and optimize formulations, characterize rheological and stability properties, link processing to microstructure and performance, build characterization toolkits, develop predictive models, and serve as colloidal science SME across R&D and program reviews.

Lead and manage end-to-end payroll operations for a multi-state manufacturing workforce, ensuring payroll accuracy, tax compliance, ADP vendor governance, time-clock integrations, month-end payroll accounting, audits, and process automation while partnering with HR and Finance.

Lead system-level architecture and technoeconomic modeling for next-generation multi-day battery systems. Evaluate concepts, define system requirements, perform mechanical design and bench experiments, quantify tradeoffs with cross-functional teams, and cascade requirements to component teams to drive product decisions toward manufacturable, cost-effective solutions.

Lead and scale the enterprise cybersecurity and IT GRC program: own security operations (EDR/MDR, IAM, vulnerability management, incident response), mature an ISO 27001-aligned ISMS, manage ITGC and external audits, design control frameworks across SOC 2/NIST/CMMC, govern incident disclosure, run third-party risk, and lead a small security and GRC team while reporting security posture to leadership and boards.

Lead design-for-reliability for battery cell components by developing test plans, executing accelerated life tests, performing statistical lifetime analysis, and partnering with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to improve product lifetime and safety. Mentor peers and guide DFMEAs while driving root-cause analysis and design down-selection.

Lead supplier industrialization of sheet metal components from prototype to production. Perform DFM and APQP/PPAP reviews, manage supplier tooling and process maturation, mitigate schedule and quality risks, drive SCAR/RCA activities, audit supplier process controls, and champion continuous improvement to reduce variation, improve yields, and lower costs.

Lead engineering for battery test-vehicle manufacturing lines: bring up new lines, design mechanical/electromechanical workstations, assess and improve processes, mitigate risks via DFMEA/PFMEA, mentor team members, manage vendor equipment commissioning, and support floor operations to enable repeatable medium-to-high volume production.
