Responsibilities
- Drive Advanced Simulation: Lead the structural and thermal finite element analysis (FEA) and optimization of Form Energy's iron-air battery components, modules, and massive system enclosures.
- Build High-Fidelity Models: Develop, refine, and maintain complex FEA models (static, dynamic, non-linear, and thermal-structural coupled) to guide design decisions and solve difficult mechanical challenges.
- Correlate & Validate: Execute hands-on model validation and correlation by collaborating with test engineers to design physical tests and interpret empirical data to ensure analytical accuracy.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner directly with interdisciplinary teams of battery, electrical, chemical, systems, and reliability engineers to optimize designs for performance, cost, and reliability throughout the full development cycle.
- Influence Design: Participate in design reviews, translating complex FEA results into clear, actionable design recommendations for the broader engineering team.
- Solid foundation in mechanical design principles, defining engineering requirements, and implementing FMEA principles.
- Excellent technical communication skills, especially the ability to distill complex simulation data into digestible insights for non-analyst partners and cross-functional teams.
Requirements
- Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
- with 8+ years of industry experience focused specifically on mechanical simulation and analysis.
