Role Description
We’re looking for a Senior Advanced Manufacturing Engineer to join a new manufacturing equipment team. This team is responsible for developing novel processes used for manufacturing electrodes to be deployed in Form Energy’s commercial product. This work will start with experiments and equipment substation prototypes used to define equipment architectures and processes. Moving forward, you will be responsible for the development and maturation of manufacturing equipment and delivering high-budget, high-volume equipment at new production facilities. Initially, this role will focus on the development of bulk material processing and handling systems. The ideal candidate will bring a wealth of process development experience and creativity used to develop world class, fully automated processes. 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 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 develop novel processing technology while doing your part to help combat climate change!
