Job summary

Form Energy is seeking a Staff Mechanical Engineer to lead the design of LV and HV harness mechanical architecture for large battery systems. You will work with the HV & LV Systems Design team to guide wire harness routing, connector selection, cable specification, and 2D drawings in collaboration with mechanical and electrical teams.

Relocation assistance is available. You will develop 3D harness routing in CAD, synchronize with Zuken tools, collaborate with suppliers, and ensure robust design

Qualifications

• 7+ years of harness mechanical design experience.
• Knowledge of battery systems and high voltage systems.
• Proficient in CAD tools (Catia/NX/SolidWorks).
• Familiarity with GD&T and high-volume manufacturing is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Develop LV & HV harness design from concept through production and support ramp-up and cost-down.
• Lead cross-functional alignment between Mechanical, Electrical, Sensor, Harness, Structural, Assembly and Supply Chain teams; perform trade-off studies.
• Identify and procure harness components for high-volume production.
• Create 3D routing in CAD and generate final assembly drawings for fabrication (sync with harness tools such as Zuken).
• Collaborate with external suppliers and internal teams to bring 3D designs to physical product.
• Design harness for harsh environmental conditions (e.g., ingress protection).
• Help establish Design and Quality standards for wire harnesses.

Role Description

Form Energy is hiring a Staff Mechanical Engineer to lead the design of LV and HV harness mechanical architecture for large battery systems. This role reports to the HV & LV Systems Design team. As part of our team, you will lead wire harness mechanical routing, connector selection, cable specification, and 2D drawings in collaboration with mechanical and electrical teams. Relocation assistance is available.

What you\'ll do

• Develop LV & HV harness design from early concept phase through production, and support post production ramp up and cost down efforts for electromechanical battery systems
• Lead cross functional alignment between Mechanical, Electrical, Sensor, Harness, Structural, Assembly and Supply Chain teams, perform trade off studies between function, performance, cost and DFM/DFA
• Identify, evaluate, select, and procure harness components for high volume production
• Create 3D routing in CAD and sync with harness tools such as Zuken to generate final assembly drawings for fabrication
• Work with external suppliers and internal cross functional teams (quality, supply chain, mfg etc.) to take 3D designs to physical product for development
• Design harness for harsh environmental conditions (e.g., high pollution degree, ingress protection)
• Help create Design and Quality standards for wire harnesses, specific to Form\'s battery applications

What you\'ll bring

• Minimum of 7 years of relevant harness mechanical design experience
• Knowledge of battery systems, high voltage systems, EMC strategies, and communications protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet)
• Proficient in Catia/NX/SolidWorks both harness and general mechanical design as well as basic mechanical and thermal simulations
• Solid mechanical engineering fundamentals: thermal, vibration, durability, corrosion-prevention, materials, etc.
• Demonstrated effectiveness in handling multiple priorities, proactively organizing workloads, and meeting tight delivery timelines
• Detail-oriented personality with effective documentation and reporting
• Preferred experience with GD&T and design for high volume manufacturing
• Bonus: Zuken harness design experience
