About the role
- Form's Advanced Product Development team is responsible for architecting and designing the next generation of our iron-air battery system - the cell, module, pack, and the support systems that keep them running reliably for decades in the field.
- We work ahead of our production programs, translating breakthrough electrochemistry and system requirements into mechanical designs that can scale to high-volume manufacturing.
- We're hiring a Senior Staff Mechanical Engineer to develop the mechanical architecture and design of our next-generation battery and support systems.
Responsibilities
- Own the mechanical design and architecture of next-generation energy storage systems (cell, module, thermal, fluid handling, structural) end-to-end, from concept through system verification
- Build or direct first-principles analytical models that inform architecture decisions
- Lead first-of-a-kind prototype builds and test campaigns to validate system-level design choices
- Set technical direction for design-for-manufacturing and design-for-cost across the next-gen program, partnering with manufacturing engineering to plan the path from prototype to Form Factory-scale production
- Demonstrated track record owning system-level architecture - not just component design - including the trade-offs across thermal, fluid, and structural interfaces
- Deep first-principles grounding in thermo-fluid systems, with experience translating analytical models directly into design decisions
Requirements
- Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
- Bachelor's with 12+ years, or advanced degree with equivalent experience, in mechanical design of complex electromechanical or fluid/thermal systems
