At Form Energy, we are working toward a 100% renewable energy future for everyone in the world. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all our employees and are seeking to build a team that reflects the diversity of the people we hope to serve with our revolutionary products. Form Energy is proud to be an equal opportunity employer
We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer II to design, build, and test the mechanical design of the core reactor in Form Energy’s long-duration energy storage system. This role will focus on generating design concepts, building CAD models, and prototyping new concepts. The Mechanical Engineer II will work closely with test engineers and scientists to enable performance and durability testing on new or revised mechanical reactor designs. Further, this role will contribute to product development efforts by aiding in Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) and Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) exercises. The ideal candidate will have a strong intuition for mechanical design and hands-on fabrication experience and will be highly organized, with the ability to track mechanical design revisions across a variety of design concepts, as well as exhibit strong communication skills both within the team and to external vendors.
What we are looking for:
Manage the design, fabrication, and assembly of new reactor concepts for testing in Form Energy’s long duration energy storage platform
Develop functional mechanical requirements for the reactor in collaboration with other mechanical engineers, as well as chemists, materials scientists, chemical engineers, system engineers, and application experts
Contribute to and maintain cost models that evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the reactor design at large scale production volumes
Aid in the design, build, and test of engineering prototypes
Execute design and modification of test stands aimed at evaluating reactor performance
Evaluate prototype performance and inform design revisions using data-driven decision making
Participate in design down-selection exercises, filtering to mechanical designs that optimize for cost, performance, and ease of manufacture
Manage long-lasting, reliable relationships with external vendors and contractors
Aid in installing capital equipment that facilitate reactor design, fabrication, and testing
Aid in developing Form Energy’s facilities to meet the company’s growing needs
Qualifications
BS required (MS preferred) in Mechanical Engineering or similar field
(2 - 4) years of mechanical design experience
Highly experienced in computer aided design (CAD) across multiple software packages
Experience with design for manufacturing and assembly principles (DFMA)
Experience with geometric tolerancing and dimensioning (GD&T)
Experience designing mechanical systems that interface with harsh chemicals or environments in a plus
Machining, fabrication, and welding experience a plus
Characteristics
Enjoy the fast paced, results driven environment of a startup
Data-driven decision maker
Drives projects to completion
High attention to detail
Comfortable independently advancing experiments from conception through data analysis
Excellent organizational, communication, and presentation skills a must!
Hands-on approach to engineering problem solving
Flexible working style: Can “wear many hats” and jump quickly between projects
Able to work well in cross-disciplinary project teams and deliver results
