Staff Mechanical Design Engineer, Thermal Systems

The Mechanical Engineering team at Form is focused on designing the battery cell, module, and full pack system that forms the foundation of our innovative utility-scale multi-day energy storage system. We strive to deliver designs that are optimized for performance, quality, reliability, and cost for high-volume manufacturing at Form Factory.

We're hiring a hands-on Staff Mechanical Design Engineer to own the design of subsystems within our Thermal management system. This is a critical system in Form’s iron-air battery technology and it is vital to the system’s successful operation and cell temperature control. In this role, you will play a key part in the product architecture and detailed design stages, first-of-a-kind build activities, system verification, and design for cost. You can expect to build and verify analytical models of the system, lead prototyping efforts, and work closely with controls engineers to implement the system concept of operations.

If this sounds like the right position for you, apply now! This opportunity will help shape and scale our multi-day energy storage system, contributing to the growth of a fast-moving company with breakthrough technology and an incredible mission, contributing to a sustainable future!
