Senior Test Engineer, Systems Test

Role Description

We are hiring a Senior Test Engineer to join our Systems Test organization. In this role you will be a key contributor to the deployment, execution, and data validation of major, multi-pack integrated test assets. You will be directly responsible for the daily test execution, data gathering, troubleshooting, and initial reporting for our multi-pack validation campaigns.

• Own the daily operations, test sequencing, and safe execution of validation campaigns on multi-pack integrated test assets.
• Write and implement highly detailed, repeatable test procedures that physically validate auxiliary systems, BMS hardware, harnessing, and software/hardware integration points.
• Act as the primary hands‑on triager when test anomalies occur, bridging hardware, software, controls, and fluidic systems to identify root causes.
• Process and review raw telemetry and data streams, validating data integrity and synthesizing findings into clear, actionable test reports.
• Manage daily lock‑out/tag‑out (LOTO) requirements, verify safety interlock setups, and actively maintain 5S standards within the high‑energy laboratory environment.
• Partner with on‑site facilities, operations, and technicians to coordinate power drops, chiller setups, and general mechanical alignments for new test runs.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Systems Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical discipline.
• 5+ years of hands‑on experience in systems test, hardware validation, or laboratory test integration (highly valued within battery, EV, aerospace, grid‑scale storage, or heavy industrial sectors).
• Strong, practical familiarity with low‑voltage wiring, high‑voltage battery configurations, common industrial sensors (thermal, pressure, flow), and actuators.
• Experience running, editing, or building test scripts and analysis scripts within common test environments (Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB, or similar data‑acquisition suites).
• General understanding of standard industrial network protocols (CAN, Modbus, Ethernet, or EtherCAT).
• Ability to adapt quickly in a fast‑paced environment where hardware and software designs are rapidly iterating.

Where you’ll work:
This role is based at Form Factory 1 in Weirton, WV – an easy commute from Pittsburgh, PA. The facility is a 550,000‑square‑foot high‑volume battery production hub. Relocation assistance is available.

Form Energy offers competitive salaries, stock options, and a holistic benefits package.
