Are you ready to build America’s energy future? Form Energy is an American manufacturing and energy technology company. We’re revolutionizing energy storage with cost-effective, multi-day technology designed to keep the electric grid secure and reliable, even during extended periods of stress. By strengthening the electric system and reimagining what’s possible, we’re giving clean energy a whole new form! In recent years, Form Energy has earned a number of accolades, including being named by TIME as a “Best Invention”, MIT Technology Review as a “Top Climate Tech Company To Watch”, and Fast Company as “One of the Next Big Things In Tech”. We are making rapid progress on our mission of delivering energy storage for a better world, and our team is growing just as rapidly to meet demand. We have signed contracts with leading electric utilities across the United States and production of our iron-air batteries is underway at our first high-volume manufacturing facility in West Virginia. Working for Form Energy is more than just a job, it’s a chance to be part of something extraordinary. And now - right as we significantly scale up battery manufacturing -  might be the most exciting moment in the company’s history to join. We are assembling a team of highly talented and driven individuals across the country. Driven by our core values of humanity, excellence, and creativity, our team is determined to deliver on our mission and transform the energy landscape for the better.Feeling energized to make a meaningful impact on the world?

In this role, you will build on existing results to improve our electrolyte product integration process and help optimize the electrolyte workflow for Form Energy's long-duration energy storage system. As a Senior Chemical Engineer specializing in fluid mechanics, handling systems, and mathematical modeling, you will play a key role in developing and owning predictive models for our iron-air battery — including a shunt current model and an electrolyte level model — as well as designing and developing test vehicle components. Your responsibilities will also include leading the analysis and definition of requirements for fluid and material management, with modeling as a core tool for driving design decisions. This role is crucial in conducting hands-on verification testing to ensure that our fluid handling systems meet all requirements, and in closing gaps between model predictions and real-world test data. This role offers the chance to also work closely with chemical, materials, and mechanical engineers on the technology development team in the lab and to analyze their data. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape and be part of the growth of a fast-moving company with breakthrough technology and an incredible mission! Relocation assistance is available. <h3>What you'll do:</h3><ul style=""><li>Develop, own, and iterate on mathematical models to predict and analyze the behavior of fluid systems under different conditions, including a shunt current model and an dynamic fluid level model</li><li>Validate models against experimental data, perform root cause analysis when gaps arise, and drive model improvements</li><li>Establish processes and define system requirements to maintain chemical specifications throughout the battery's service lifetime</li><li>Execute chemistry and mechanical design trades, leveraging modeling to optimize the design of fluid handling components and interfaces between cells and systems</li><li>Provide high-quality data analysis and design trades</li></ul><h3>What you'll bring:</h3><ul style=""><li>PhD or MS with 3+ years of professional experience in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Material Science or a related field is required</li><li>Expert in fluid mechanics, fluid handling and sensor selection</li><li>Experience in leading engineering verification tests, RCA and addressing model to data gap</li><li>Demonstrated experience with defining engineering requirements</li><li>Excellent problem solving and communication skills, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively as part of a team</li></ul>#LI-Onsite#LI-LN1Humanity is a cornerstone of Form Energy’s culture, and we make sure our compensation and benefits reflect that.

This starts from day one. We also offer at least 12 weeks of paid leave for new parents (up to 20 weeks for birthing parents), and generous vacation policies to give employees time to recharge when needed. To build America’s energy future, we need everyone at the table. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer, and encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply to our open jobs.
