    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 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 — 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.

    Role Description


    The Test Engineering team at Form is responsible for testing, operating, and maintaining our full‑scale system prototypes. We're looking for an experienced field technician to join our team in Oakland, CA, with as‑needed support at the Form Factory in Weirton, WV, and help us bring our groundbreaking battery system to life.

    What you'll do

    • Support installation, commissioning, and operations for Form's fielded battery system prototypes.
    • Perform hands‑on troubleshooting of electrical and mechanical systems to identify and resolve root causes.
    • Conduct wiring and assembly of industrial control, power, and data acquisition circuitry.
    • Execute test plans to characterize the performance and functionality of battery systems under the direction of engineers.
    • Support Form's first‑responder program to minimize energized downtime.
    • Travel up to 50% to prototype sites within the U.S., with a home base at the Oakland, CA test site.

    What you'll bring

    • 7+ years of hands‑on experience as a field technician working with high‑power equipment; experience with battery or solar systems is a plus.
    • Proficient in troubleshooting complex electrical issues in high‑voltage systems and able to read electrical schematics and single‑line diagrams.
    • Familiarity with industrial communication protocols, including CAN Bus and Modbus, for system‑level debugging.
    • Highly safety‑conscious with training in high‑voltage risk assessment, safety protocols, and experience working around heavy construction equipment.
    • Comfortable with frequent and long‑term wear of heavy PPE (steel‑toed boots, face shields, chemical suits, etc.) as required.
    • Physically able to frequently lift up to 25 pounds and occasionally lift up to 50 pounds.

    Humanity is a cornerstone of Form Energy's culture, and we make sure our compensation and benefits reflect that. Form Energy offers competitive salaries, stock options, and a holistic benefits package to ensure all employees have what they need to thrive while working here.

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.
