Role Description
We are looking for a creative, diligent, and deeply technical systems architect to drive plant-level trade analyses that inform product architecture through robust mathematical modeling. You will be responsible for expanding our existing techno-economic model based on input from various teams spanning multiple disciplines, executing global systems optimization of key requirements and specifications of our product, and collating constraints to help inform design decisions from battery cell to plant level. The role will be highly collaborative, involving working with nearly all engineering teams at Form Energy, including the systems, cell, electrode, manufacturing, and test & validation teams. As an early member of the Product Architecture team, you will be at the confluence of technology development, product development, and product management, playing a central role in developing our first multi-day storage product.
What you'll do :
- Build, deploy, and be a power user of bespoke performance and cost models, inclusive of reduced-order battery cell performance models, to accelerate design-performance-cost trade decisions
- Collaborate with domain experts and modeling groups spanning multiple disciplines to scope, execute, and communicate the results of trade studies that inform architecture decisions
- Develop flexible interfacing tools that enable seamless syncing between battery performance models and component-level cost models
