Role Description

We’re looking for a Senior Process Development Engineer to join our Advanced Manufacturing team. This team is responsible for developing and validating processes used for manufacturing electrodes to be deployed in Form Energy’s commercial product. This work will start with experiments and production trials at pilot scale, working to improve our existing manufacturing techniques. Moving forward, you will develop and deliver high-budget, high-volume processes at new production facilities. You will focus on the development of calendaring, drying, and lamination processes, used to produce materials for Form’s electrodes. You will bring a wealth of process development experience and creativity used to develop world class, fully automated processes. 

Reporting into the Staff Process Development Engineer, 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!

This opportunity is based out of Form Energy's Eighty Four, PA location (Greater Pittsburgh Area).
