About the role
- Form Energy is hiring an NPI Project Engineer to own the introduction and implementation of mechanical product and process changes into our manufacturing facility.
- This role sits within Operations Engineering and works in close partnership with our Technical Program Manager to ensure that every change - from next-generation pack-level design updates to equipment and process iterations - lands in production in a controlled, quality-safe, and schedule-conscious way.
- You will help build the systems, workflows, and standards that define how Form Energy scales new products into manufacturing.
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end introduction of mechanical product and process changes into the manufacturing line, with initial focus on battery pack systems
- Lead production trials for new or modified designs - defining trial plans, success criteria, timing, and documenting outcomes
- Drive structured cutover planning, coordinating timing across engineering, supply chain, warehouse, and production to ensure clean transitions with no unplanned disruption
- Partner closely with the TPM to maintain change visibility, milestone tracking, and cross-functional alignment across all active NPI efforts
- Serve as the operations voice in design reviews and change control processes, pushing back on changes that lack manufacturing readiness
- Help develop NPI systems and standards - change intake, readiness criteria, trial governance, and cutover checklists - as this function matures
- Proven ability to work independently in ambiguous environments and build structure where little exists
Requirements
- 6-10 years of experience in manufacturing engineering, NPI, or engineering change management in a high-complexity production environment (automotive, aerospace, energy, or similar)
Nice to have
- Hands-on familiarity with ERP systems (Oracle preferred) including work order flow, BOM management, and routing
Compensation
- Humanity is a cornerstone of Form Energy's culture, and we make sure our compensation and benefits reflect that.
