Role Description

We’re looking for a Manufacturing 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 implementing Form’s Manufacturing Execution System (MES). You will then transition into developing our electrode fabrication processes, solving challenging problems related to line productivity and reliability as we scale production at our first manufacturing site. Bridging the gap between manual assembly, and automated production, delivering high-budget, high-volume processes at new production facilities. You will bring manufacturing experience and creativity used to develop world class, fully automated processes. 

Reporting into the Manager of Process Engineering, 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, engineering, and manufacturing 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 manufacturing techniques 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).

What You'll Do:

• Implement a custom Manufacturing Execution System, allowing Form to track and learn from our pilot production line.
• Implement Manufacturing best practices for root cause analysis such as 8D and DMAIC.
• Apply industry standards and best practices to deliver world class, safe, efficient processes.
• Partner with process engineering and R&D to validate new production methods.
• Perform DFM (design for manufacture) assessments in partnership with Form’s battery component design teams.
• Train technicians, process engineers, and scientists on new manufacturing equipment and processes.
• Be a champion for safety in the development of new equipment and processes.

• 3 years of experience in a pilot line or manufacturing NPI environment.
• Experience implementing standard work and other common manufacturing systems.
• Experience with database and dashboard design.
• Experience in a variety of assembly and fabrication techniques, including spot welding, adhesives, and epoxies. 
• Experience leading project execution in cross functional teams.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related field.
• Familiarity with Industrial robotics and automation is a plus.

Besides joining a community of people working to make the world better, Form Energy commits to you equitable compensation, stock options, and offers a generous benefits package to make sure you have the support you need to thrive.

We cover 100% of employee premiums and 80% of dependent premiums for medical, dental, and vision insurance for full time employees.
