Are you ready to build America's clean energy future with the team that will deliver? Form Energy is an American energy technology and manufacturing company. We are pioneering a new class of iron-air batteries to enable our electric grid to run on renewable, reliable, and affordable energy, every day of the year.

Form Energy has been recognized by TIME as "One of the Best Inventions of 2023" for its battery technology and by MIT Technology Review as a "Top Climate Tech Company to Watch". We are making rapid progress on our mission of delivering energy storage for a better world, and are growing just as rapidly to meet demand. Our team has more than doubled in size in the past year, and continues to expand every day. We have signed contracts with leading electric utilities across the United States. Pilot production of our iron-air batteries has already begun, and later this year, production will take off to high volumes at our new factory in West Virginia.

Working for Form Energy is more than just a job, it's a chance to be part of something extraordinary. And right now might be the most exciting moment in the company's history to join. We are assembling a team of some of the most talented and motivated individuals across the country. Driven by our core values of humanity, excellence, and creativity, our team is determined to deliver on our mission and transform the energy landscape for the better.

Feeling energized to make a meaningful impact on the world? Then keep reading - you've come to the right place.

Form Energy is seeking a talented and experienced Staff Battery Engineer to join our dynamic Electrode Engineering Organization. In this role, you will be responsible for driving decisions to balance performance, cost and manufacturability through validation test methods. By gaining alignment from stakeholders across the organization, you will enable implementation of data-driven product improvements to develop a truly cutting-edge technology.

This is a fantastic opportunity to have a direct impact on process, design, and manufacturing plans while taking into account the technical risks associated with product recommendations. As a Staff Battery Engineer, you'll use your expertise to collaborate with experts in materials, electrochemical testing, design, process, manufacturing to drive performance of our first and next-generation electrodes.

If you are ready to leverage your experience in the development and testing of electrochemical devices and use a proactive, interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving, read on!

• Prioritize safety as you carry out the entire electrochemical testing and battery operation process, ranging from the design phase, to implementation, and finally to post-test investigation.

• Design, execute, and interpret anode and cathode electrochemical tests in large- and lab-scale test vehicles and Form Energy field-deployed batteries

• Identify performance gaps in product testing compared to R&D-scale electrochemical data and take action to close those gaps.

• Own, perform, and thoroughly document Root Cause Analyses to identify opportunities for improvement and recommend corrective actions.

• Collaborate closely with our product and battery testing teams to analyze complex electrochemical data

• Pre/post-test materials characterization of electrodes in collaboration with our internal material experts and external vendors

• Mentor, guide, and support team members with your expertise and practical experience.

• 7+ years industry experience in testing and evaluating electrochemical systems

• Experience integrating and interpreting complex electrochemical data collected from multiple sources

• Solid communication skills within a group of peers and the broader organization, including remote team members

• Expertise with failure prediction and investigation methods, such as RCA and FMEA

• Hands-on practical experience with electrochemical systems, particularly in deployed market-ready products. Experience in fuel cells, electrolyzers, or secondary storage electrodes is a plus.

• Experience with experimental design and statistical software such as JMP, Minitab, etc. is a plus.
