Injection Molding Simulation Jobs (NOW HIRING)

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 just as 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 - right 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.

Feeling energized to make a meaningful impact on the world? Then keep reading - you've come to the right place.

In this role, you will own the end-to-end industrialization journey for plastic components-from the first sketch to high-volume production and ongoing sustaining support. You will be the bridge between our Design Engineering teams and our global supply base, ensuring that every part is designed for manufacturability (DFM) and produced under rigorous quality controls. You will not just launch products; you will implement the systems that ensure our suppliers deliver on time, meet capacity, and maintain world-class quality standards

Relocation assistance is available.

• Lead the comprehensive technical lifecycle of thermoplastic components. Provide critical up-front manufacturing feasibility feedback during design concepts, spearhead technical evaluations for supplier selection, drive multi-stage tooling qualification (ex. T0 - T2), and establish permanent on-site process controls.

• Own and track the minimum supplier deliverables per build phase. Ensure tooling, manufacturing lines, and part accuracy mature in tight lockstep with program timelines to proactively eliminate downstream line down risks.

• Collaborate deeply with Design Engineering to conduct robust 3D DFM reviews and evaluate injection molding simulation packages (e.g., Moldflow). Proactively catch and eliminate potential manufacturing failure modes such as severe knit lines, flash, sink marks, or dimensionally unstable warp before tools are kicked off.

• Champion the phased rollout of Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) with supplier teams. Establish, review, and approve robust supplier Process Flow Diagrams (PFD), Process FMEAs (PFMEA), and formal Control Plans to systematically isolate and mitigate high-severity manufacturing risks.

• Function as the technical gatekeeper for out-of-specification components. Issue and manage Supplier Corrective Action Requests (SCAR), driving suppliers through rigorous root cause analysis (8D, 5-Whys) to validate permanent corrective actions.

• Audit supplier process capability metrics for defined special characteristics to ensure the process remains statistically stable over long production cycles. Approve supplier PPAP submissions to guarantee that inspection systems yield highly reliable data.

• Bachelor's degree in Plastics, Mechanical, or Manufacturing Engineering.

• 5+ years of experience in New Product Introduction (NPI), manufacturing, or quality engineering.

• Deep Foundational knowledge of thermoplastic molding processes (injection molding, ultrasonic welding, etc.) and secondary operations like painting or assembly.

• Familiarity with quality tools such as SPC (Statistical Process Control), Root Cause Analysis (8D), and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).

• Proven capability to read and interpret complex 2D drawings using Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) principles per ASME Y14.5. Proficiency with 3D CAD platforms to interrogate geometries, analyze assembly stack-ups, and evaluate tooling clearances.

• Excellent communication and technical authority to hold international partners accountable to strict delivery schedules and quality indices while simultaneously fostering cooperative, long-term technical relationships.
