ROLE DESCRIPTION Form Energy is seeking a Lead System Integration Engineer to serve as the critical technical bridge between our Battery Management System (BMS) Hardware and Software teams. In this role, you will be the connective tissue that ensures complex PCBA designs and embedded software modules are seamlessly integrated and rigorously aligned with high-level system requirements. You will own the technical stewardship of the BMS integration lifecycle, driving the architectural coherence and functional performance necessary to deliver our groundbreaking 100-hour iron-air energy storage systems. Relocation assistance is available. WHAT YOU'LL DO: - Orchestrate the integration of BMS hardware (sensors, actuators, and power circuitry) with embedded software control modules to ensure seamless functional performance. - Lead the decomposition of high-level system requirements into actionable, bi-directionally traceable, and testable specifications for both hardware and software teams. - Establish and manage Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and Hardware-Software Interface (HSI) definitions to govern communication and clear pinout expectations. - Oversee the development of validation and integration plans, including the use of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and System Integration Test Beds to verify safety and reliability under diverse conditions. - Drive the execution of Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) and Circuit FMEA (CFMEA) to proactively identify and mitigate integration-level risks. - Act as the central partner for Design, Test, and Validation teams, reconciling interface nonconformities and maintaining architectural integrity from prototype to production. - Champion standardized Systems Engineering workflows (V-model, ASPICE) and mentor junior engineers in requirement linking and design coverage assessment. WHAT YOU'LL BRING: - 7+ years of experience in systems engineering, product integration, or technical lead roles within deep-tech industries (e.g., Energy Storage, Automotive, or Aerospace). - Deep knowledge across multiple disciplines, including electrical schematic analysis, power electron
