ROLE DESCRIPTION Form Energy is hiring an early-career Battery Engineer (Engineer I or II) to join our Anode Design and Performance Team, which brings together materials, battery, test, and process engineers to understand, design, and validate Form Energy's iron negative electrode (anode). Reporting to the Staff Battery Engineer, you will run electrochemical tests on iron electrodes and cells, build subscale prototype cells, prepare and characterize samples, and organize the resulting data to help the team understand and improve anode performance. This is a hands-on, lab-based role with daily mentorship from senior engineers — an excellent first or early-career industry role for someone who wants to learn battery and materials engineering quickly while making a direct impact on a technology built to tackle climate change. Join us and be part of a fast-moving company with breakthrough technology and an incredible mission! WHAT YOU'LL DO: - Prioritize safety in all lab work, from test setup and battery operation through end-of-life teardown and post-test investigation. - Execute and interpret electrochemical tests on iron electrodes and cells in lab- and large-scale test vehicles — with support from senior engineers early on and growing independence as you develop. - Prepare and characterize electrode samples pre- and post-test (for example SEM, EDS, BET, XRD, PSA) in collaboration with our internal material experts. - Support and help improve electrochemical testing by writing and running test protocols, troubleshooting failures, and maintaining cells on test. - Wrangle and organize data from test stands and electrochemical cells, help identify trends, and provide regular data updates to the team to enable data-based decisions. - Build your technical foundation in Form's anode technology and contribute to team problem-solving, proposing improvements to methods and analyses as you grow. WHAT YOU'LL BRING: - Bachelor's degree (Master's a plus) in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science or Engineering, Chemistry, or a related field. - 0-3 years of experience — including internships, co-ops, or academic research — in elec
