Job description

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.

Role Description

We are looking for a creative, diligent, and deeply technical systems architect to drive plant-level trade analyses that inform product architecture through robust mathematical modeling. You will be responsible for expanding our existing techno-economic model based on input from various teams spanning multiple disciplines, executing global systems optimization of key requirements and specifications of our product, and collating constraints to help inform design decisions from battery cell to plant level. The role will be highly collaborative, involving working with nearly all engineering teams at Form Energy, including the systems, cell, electrode, manufacturing, and test & validation teams. As an early member of the Product Architecture team, you will be at the confluence of technology development, product development, and product management, playing a central role in developing our first multi-day storage product.

What you'll do:
  • Collaborate with domain experts and modeling groups spanning multiple disciplines to scope, execute, and communicate the results of trade studies that inform architecture decisions

  • Build, deploy, and be a power user of bespoke techno-economic model(s), inclusive of reduced-order battery performance models, to accelerate design-performance-cost trade decisions

  • Develop flexible interfacing tools that enable seamless syncing between battery performance models and component-level cost models

What you'll bring:
  • 5+ years experience in a product development environment

  • Stellar analytical thinking skills and the ability to understand multivariate parameter spaces

  • Ability to quickly gain a working knowledge of a wide range of technical details spanning multiple disciplines, from electrochemistry to mechanical engineering

  • Proficiency in reduced-order mathematical modeling of physical phenomena

  • Familiarity with constrained global optimization in high-dimensional parameter spaces

  • Extensive experience with scripting and mathematical modeling in python and/or MATLAB/Simulink

  • Experience or a strong interest in developing and testing robust simulation systems that interface with data from multiple sources

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills

  • Willingness to travel to visit our CA, MA or PA site on at least a quarterly basis

Applications will be accepted until the job is filled.
