We need talented, hardworking individuals who share our goal of tackling the challenge of climate change. Do you want to work with us today to build a better tomorrow? 
Role DescriptionWe’re looking for a Senior or Staff Process Engineer to join a new manufacturing team developing novel processes used for manufacturing iron electrodes to be deployed in Form Energy’s commercial product. Reporting to the Manager of Anode Process, you will focus on the electrode manufacturing process, starting with bulk iron material handling systems through quality control of finished electrodes. This work will start with experiments and equipment substation prototypes used to develop equipment architectures and processes. Moving forward, you will be responsible for the development and maturation of electrode manufacturing processes and commissioning high-budget, high-volume equipment at new production facilities.
You’ll work closely with equipment design engineers, cell design engineers, material scientists, supply chain, operations, facilities, and outside consultants.  As we design, build, and ramp up equipment operations, expect to become deeply entrenched in the intersection space of equipment design, process engineering, and battery materials engineering, as the team works toward a common goal of manufacturing high performance electrodes, in high volume.
This role provides an exciting opportunity to bring your wealth of process development experience and creativity to develop novel processing technology while doing your part to help combat climate change!

What you'll do:

• Partner with the anode equipment engineering team to establish the first full scale anode production line with focus on safety, quality and process capability
• Explore the Process-Structure-Property relationships of the various unit operations that are needed to make high performing and long lasting iron electrodes
• Document and improve the process steps required to deliver electrodes capable of supporting battery assembly, testing, and development
• Train technicians, process engineers, and scientist on new manufacturing equipment and processes
• Work with a diversity of teams inside and outside the company to achieve overall manufacturing success
• Be a champion for safety in the development of new equipment and processes

What you'll bring:

• 5+ years of experience in a manufacturing or pilot line environment 
• Experience using statistical analysis software, such as JMP, and Design of Experiment (DOE) for making process development decisions
• Practical experience with electrochemical science and systems, particularly at the product-scale and module level
• Experience in the operation of bulk material handling and processing equipment 
• Experience designing safe processes involving hazardous locations containing combustible dusts or gasses and high temperature equipment
• Strong interdisciplinary communicator, across a range of engineering and business functions
• Demonstrated track record of innovative development and engineering
• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering or related field

Besides joining a community of people working to make the world better, Form Energy commits to you equitable compensation, stock options, and offers a generous benefits package to make sure you have the support you need to thrive.
We cover 100% of employee premiums and 80% of dependent premiums for medical, dental, and vision insurance for full time employees.
