Form Energy is a team of passionate people tackling the challenge of climate change through transformationally low cost energy storage.  Our team members are active learners who enjoy working on tough technology problems in massive markets and embody our values of humanity, excellence and creativity. The company is backed by a diverse set of committed investors and we have raised over $360M to date.

We are looking for an experienced Project Engineer to lead and execute various critical projects to the anode manufacturing scale up. Organizationally, this role falls under the Advanced Manufacturing team, but will operate cross-functionally with Supply Chain. This position will be the critical link between various teams in both our MA and PA facilities, as well as external partners as we scale up the manufacturing of iron-based anodes through a combination of bench-scale testing, pilot deployment and industrial trials. 

The primary role is to lead the development of the upstream portion of Form’s anode manufacturing process. The scope will span from iron ore mineral processing to post-reduction processing. The objective is to continuously ramp production of iron material suitable for use in batteries with desirable properties, as determined by mechanical and electrochemical performance requirements. 

Practically, the incumbent will be involved in a number of concurrent projects - some as project leads, some as participants and some as advisor. The scope of these projects will vary widely but will certainly involve thermodynamic calculations and modeling, equipment design and modification, trials planning, execution and data analysis. Specific projects will include leveraging existing iron processes assets (with limited but effective modifications) and enabling an aggressive iron supply schedule to meet our commercialization goals. In parallel, learnings will be incorporated into long-term high-volume solutions, which will require that new iron production assets are brought on-line with Form as the primary consumer. 

This position has a high potential for growth. As the scope of these projects increase, it is anticipated that the Project Engineer will manage a larger portfolio of activities and build a team of engineers to support project execution.
