Staff Electrical Engineer – Form Energy (PCBA Design)OverviewForm 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 BackgroundHardware Design- Strong PCBA design experience using Altium (or similar ECAD software).- Experience taking boards through the complete development cycle.Power ElectronicsExperience with:- High-voltage and high-power designs- AC/DC power systems- SMPS power supplies- LDOs- Gate drivers and motor driversEmbedded HardwareKnowledge of:- MCUs, MPUs, SOMs- Sensors- Data acquisition systems (ADC, DAC,



I/O)Communication Protocols- CAN-FD- Ethernet- isoSPI- SPI- UART- I2C- JTAGReliability & Safety- DFMEA / CFMEA- High-reliability design practices- Safety-critical systems- Compliance testingPreferred Experience- Battery Management Systems (BMS)- Energy Storage Systems- EV chargers- Industrial power electronics- High-voltage electrical systemsRegulatory / Standards ExperienceCandidates with experience designing to standards such as:- UL 991- UL 1973- UL 9540- UL 1998will stand out significantly.Software & ToolsPreferred experience with:- Altium Designer- Arena or Teamcenter (PLM)- JIRA- JAMAWhat the Hiring Manager is Likely Looking ForThe idóneo 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 vendorsTop 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 HardwareSimple SummaryThis 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.
