Manufacturing Test Engineer
Location: Pittsburg, PA
Role Description - NEED TESTSTAND AND LABVIEW
Form Energy is hiring a Manufacturing Test Engineer to develop and deploy manufacturing test equipment, software, and data systems supporting the production of our breakthrough energy storage technology. This engineer will work closely with Product Development, R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, MES, and Operations teams to create robust test solutions for new products, process changes, and factory expansion initiatives.
The ideal candidate is equally comfortable developing software, integrating instrumentation, troubleshooting hardware, and working directly on the factory floor to deploy new manufacturing capabilities. Relocation assistance is available.
What you'll do:
  • Design and maintain scalable test software, intuitive GUIs, and operator workflows for cell, module, and pack-level manufacturing.
  • Develop, deploy, and validate production test equipment, fixtures, PLCs, and instrumentation architectures for new product introductions.
  • Link test software and hardware seamlessly with MES, databases, factory automation platforms, and traceability systems.
  • Partner with EHS to design safe test systems utilizing interlocks, barriers, and lockout/tagout procedures for high-voltage environments.
  • Work with R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, and Operations to define test requirements, support factory expansions, and co-own PFMEAs and control plans.
  • Implement automated data collection, validation, and reporting while maintaining strict revision control for software and deployment packages.
  • Lead root-cause investigations and resolve complex hardware, software, and process failures during commissioning and production ramps.
  • Create technical documentation-including test procedures, work instructions, and troubleshooting guides-and support operator training.
What you'll bring:
  • 5+ years of experience developing automated test systems in manufacturing, product development, or industrial environments.
  • Experience and expertise with at least one programming language such as LabVIEW, Python, C#, C++, Go, or similar.
  • Experience establishing test architectures, software frameworks, processes, and standards that enable long-term growth and operational scalability.
  • Experience integrating instrumentation, data acquisition hardware, and automated test equipment.
  • Experience with industrial and embedded communication protocols such as CAN, Modbus, Ethernet-based protocols, UART, SPI, I2C, Protobuf, or similar technologies.
  • Familiarity with electrical test methodologies and troubleshooting techniques.
  • Demonstrated ownership of complete test systems from concept through deployment.
  • Experience leading technical projects and mentoring junior engineers.
  • Experience integrating manufacturing test systems with MES, databases, or enterprise software systems.
  • BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
  • Experience developing and scaling manufacturing test systems from prototype, pilot, or low-volume production environments into high-volume manufacturing.
  • Experience supporting new factory launches, production ramp activities, or capacity expansion initiatives.
  • Experience working with embedded systems, microcontrollers, embedded Linux platforms, or battery management systems.
  • Familiarity with firmware validation, hardware-software integration, and communication protocol troubleshooting
