Senior Staff Mechanical Engineer (Advanced Product Development)

Join Form's Advanced Product Development team as a Senior Staff Mechanical Engineer. You will be responsible for developing the mechanical architecture and design of our next-generation iron-air battery system. This role involves first principles modeling and analysis, prototype builds, and collaboration with various engineering disciplines. You will also set technical direction for design-for-manufacturing and design-for-cost, represent mechanical engineering in cross-functional architecture reviews, and engage with critical vendors.

• Responsable du développement de l'architecture et de la conception mécanique de systèmes de stockage d'énergie de nouvelle génération, y compris les cellules, les modules, la gestion thermique et les structures.
• Diriger la construction de prototypes de première génération et les campagnes d'essai pour valider les choix de conception au niveau système.
• Collaborer avec des scientifiques, des ingénieurs en matériaux, des ingénieurs électriques et de contrôle, et des ingénieurs de fabrication pour garantir que les décisions de conception sont durables à grande échelle.

• A record of technical leadership and mentorship — influencing engineering direction and raising team capability
• Comfort operating with significant ambiguity in an early-stage environment ramping toward production, with the urgency to hit demanding schedule targets
• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field; Bachelor's with 12+ years, or advanced degree with equivalent experience, in mechanical design of complex electromechanical or fluid/thermal systems
• Deep first-principles grounding in thermo-fluid systems, with experience translating analytical models directly into design decisions
• Demonstrated track record owning system-level architecture — not just component design — including the trade-offs across thermal, fluid, and structural interfaces
• Experience taking a product from early-stage concept through to manufacturing and driving development strategy along the way
• Experience in energy storage, batteries, or another safety-critical, highly regulated hardware industry is a strong plus
• Strong ownership mentality to do what it takes; eager to roll up sleeves and get hands-on with hardware when necessary
