Staff Electrical Engineer – Form Energy (PCBA Design) Overview Form Energy is looking for a Staff Electrical Engineer to lead the full lifecycle design of PCBAs (Printed Circuit Board Assemblies) that support their battery management and energy storage systems. This is a hands-on hardware design role focused on taking products from concept through design, validation, manufacturing, and long-term support. Key Responsibilities ~ Own end-to-end PCBA development , including: ~ Requirements definition ~ Component selection ~ Schematic capture ~ PCB layout oversight ~ Design release and manufacturing support ~ Board bring-up and verification ~ Sustaining engineering ~ Design PCBAs for high-power, high-voltage, and safety-critical applications . ~ Develop: ~ DFMEA/CFMEA ~ Electrical block diagrams ~ Simulations and analyses ~ Test plans ~8D root cause investigations ~ Work closely with: ~ Systems Engineers ~ Mechanical Engineers ~ Firmware/Software Engineers ~ Test & Validation Teams ~ Troubleshoot and improve released hardware designs. ~ Create technical documentation including architecture, test results, root-cause analyses, and design decisions. Required Technical Background Hardware Design Strong PCBA design experience using Altium (or similar ECAD software). Experience taking boards through the complete development cycle. Power Electronics Experience with: High-voltage and high-power designs AC/DC power systems SMPS power supplies LDOs Gate drivers and motor drivers Embedded Hardware Knowledge of: MCUs, MPUs, SOMs Sensors Data acquisition systems (ADC, DAC, I/O)



Communication Protocols CAN-FD Ethernet isoSPI SPI UART I2C JTAG Reliability & Safety DFMEA / CFMEA High-reliability design practices Safety-critical systems Compliance testing Preferred Experience Battery Management Systems (BMS) Energy Storage Systems EV chargers Industrial power electronics High-voltage electrical systems Regulatory / Standards Experience Candidates with experience designing to standards such as: UL 991 UL 1973 UL 9540 UL 1998 will stand out significantly. Software & Tools Preferred experience with: Altium Designer Arena or Teamcenter (PLM) JIRA JAMA What the Hiring Manager is Likely Looking For The adecuado candidate is someone who has: ✅ Designed complex PCBAs from concept through production ✅ Strong power electronics background ✅ Experience with battery, BMS, EV, or energy storage products ✅ Hands-on board bring-up, testing, debugging, and root-cause analysis ✅ DFMEA and reliability engineering experience ✅ Cross-functional leadership skills ✅ Experience supporting manufacturing and vendors Top Recruiting Keywords ~ Altium ~ PCBA Design ~ Schematic Capture ~ PCB Layout ~ Power Electronics ~ BMS ~ Battery Systems ~ Energy Storage ~ High Voltage ~ CAN-FD ~ SPI ~ UART ~ I2C ~ DFMEA ~ CFMEA ~8D ~ Board Bring-Up ~ Root Cause Analysis ~ Electrical Validation ~ UL 1973~ UL 9540~ EV Chargers ~ Embedded Hardware Simple Summary This is essentially a senior/staff-level hardware design engineer role focused on designing and validating PCBAs for high-voltage battery systems . The strongest candidates will have a combination of Altium-based PCB design, power electronics, embedded hardware, DFMEA, board bring-up, and battery/BMS experience . It is much more of a PCB/hardware engineering role than a traditional electrical systems or control panel design position.
