Form Energy is a U.S. technology and manufacturing company that is developing and commercializing cost-effective multi-day energy storage systems to enable the global electricity system to run on 100% low-cost renewable energy, every day of the year. Driven by Form’s core values of humanity, excellence, and creativity, our team is deeply motivated and inspired to create a better world. We seek to transform the energy landscape and do our part in making the world better for all. We are supported by leading investors who share a common belief that low-cost, multi-day energy storage will be a key enabler of tomorrow’s zero carbon electric system.

Role Description

We are looking for an experienced and capable battery engineer to join Form Energy’s Anode Development Team, designing and developing a critical component of Form Energy’s multi-day storage system. Your focus will be to improve the performance and durability of the anode through deep electrochemical characterizations, pre/post test material characterizations, and thorough root cause analyses identifying mechanisms of performance bottlenecks and potential degradations. You will give guidance to team members in developing and applying the appropriate echem measurement methods for targeted analyses, as well as developing and managing external characterization capabilities.. This is an opportunity to have a direct and daily impact in an exciting energy technology startup.

Form Energy is committed to equitable compensation and we offer a generous benefits package to make sure you have the support you need. We cover 100% of employee premiums and 80% of dependent premiums for medical, dental, and vision insurance for full time employees. We offer a flexible Paid Time Off program and every employee, regardless of gender identity or expression, is eligible for 12 weeks of paid parental bonding leave. We offer a 401k and all employees are granted stock options. A full listing of our benefits is available on our careers page.

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.

What You'll Do:

Develop in-depth electrochemical characterization methods for Form’s anode

Carry out characterizations of Form’s anode by applying various echem measurement and data processing methods to identify performance and durability bottlenecks

Lead and perform root cause analysis with the team to identify and understand anode performance bottlenecks, mitigate performance degradation, and identify performance improvement levers

Collaborate with the material development and electrode engineering teams to improve anode performance to meet target performance, durability, and cost

Guide a team of material / test / battery engineers to propose and execute electrochemical characterization project plans to drive battery improvements

Create, validate, and author standard operating procedures for new, routine characterization efforts

Manage testing pipeline and improve experimental protocols to enable higher-throughput data collection

Interpret ex-situ characterization (i.e., SEM, EDS, ICP, XRD, BET, TGA, DSC) data and collaborate with external specialists and consultants to accelerate materials development

Understand and participate in co-optimization of electrolyte and anode materials for optimal system-level performance

What You'll Bring:

7+ years experience building and testing electrochemical systems (graduate school time accepted as experience)

MS or advanced degree in Chemical engineering, Electrochemistry, Material science, or a related field

Strong expertise and tracking record of growing employees

Strong communication skills within a group of peers and broader organization, including with remote team members

Practical experience with electrochemical science and systems, particularly at the full-scale and module level

Expertise in leading teams for electrochemical system development is a plus

Experience with statistical analysis software, such as JMP
