• Hire an exceptional team.
• Accelerate Form’s path to scale by rigorously testing, documenting, and educating internal and external stakeholders on Form’s product reliability.
• Build a DfR function at Form that is highly integrated with the product design teams.
• Develop and execute reliability test plans, informed by comprehensive DFMEA, covering Form’s product from electrode to grid interconnection.

What You'll Bring

• 10+ years of experience (5+ in a leadership role).
• 5 - 10 years in a reliability function.
• Experience with complex systems involving chemical, material, mechanical and electrical failure modes.
• Experience spanning design to manufacturing.
• Resolute leader who will actively advocate for and champion world-class product reliability.
• B.S. or higher in engineering or physical science(s).
