Worth knowing

Why it is interesting. Hands-on with plastic joining methods like laser and hot-plate welding while scaling multi-day iron-air battery storage.

Might not be for you. Mechanical-design focus: it is CAD and DFM work rather than polymer materials research, and the contract term is not permanent.

Role details

We're hiring a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join our Cell Engineering Design team in Berkeley, CA. In this role, you will design plastic components for our iron-air battery cells. There will be a particular focus on injection molded plastics, and you will take the lead on design, test plan development, and validation testing of your components. This role will work closely with our manufacturing engineering team to define and support battery cell assembly process and equipment design. You will bring a willingness to become an expert in designing plastic components for manufacturing with injection molding, blow molding, thermoforming, or similar processes.

You will also get hands-on experience with plastic joining methods, such as laser or hot-plate welding. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of scaling our multi-day energy storage system at Form and contributing to a sustainable future!

What You’ll Bring: • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field • 4+ years of industry experience • End-to-end product development experience — concept to launch • Strong mechanical design and engineering analysis skills • Proficiency with CAD • Experience with plastic components and injection molding • Strong mechanical testing and data analysis skills • Experience with prototyping and failure analysis • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced startup environment
