Role Description

Form Energy is seeking a Senior Reliability Engineer, Liquid and Gas Systemsto improve the reliability and lifetime of our iron-air enclosures and deployed systems. As part of our Reliability team, you will work closely with the Systems and Project Engineering teams to develop test plans, analyze data, perform failure analysis, and define critical design requirements for fluid process systems. This role will require hands-on work in the lab and cross functional collaboration to evaluate, analyze, and propose design-for-reliability solutions to new and poorly understood problems and gain confidence in our product lifetime.

What you'll do:

• Serve as subject matter expert on design for reliability best practices for critical design challenges relating to liquid and gas process systems (e.g. seal reliability, fan and pump wearout) and review vendor reliability data for off the shelf components
• Closely partner with design owners to de-risk and down-select next-iteration enclosure and system design concepts and translate high level product requirements into functional reliability and lifetime requirements for components and subsystems
• Design, execute, and analyze experiments internally and at external labs to evaluate failure mechanisms and their acceleration factors

What you'll bring:

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Reliability Engineering or related field with 5+ years of industry experience
• Hands-on experience designing and testing liquid or gas handling systems and their subcomponents such as pumps, fans, ducts, valves, filters, sensors, and seals
• Familiar with developing accelerated lifetime tests to assess component reliability across a range of operating conditions
• Strong cross-functional collaboration and communication skills within a group of peers and the broader organization, including remote team members
• Experience in fluid systems for reactive, corrosive, or hazardous chemicals is a plus
• Experience with statistical data analysis software such as Minitab, JMP, Python, or Tableau is a plus
