- Architect and implement strategic equipment upgrades that directly improve product performance, reliability, and manufacturing stability.
- Drive the technical resolution of complex mechanical and equipment failures, ensuring success through rigorous project management and adherence to mission-critical deadlines.
- Partner cross-functionally with equipment and product design teams to identify and mitigate hardware risks early in line implementation through rapid prototyping and system-level simulation.
- Own the roadmap for production tooling and automation enhancements, focusing on how equipment design can better serve the long-term reliability and mechanical integrity of the product.
- Scale manufacturing capabilities by developing sophisticated dimensional inspection protocols and integrating advanced processes like laser welding and resin delivery.
- Mentor engineers across the organization in mechanical design best practices, GD&T, and DFM to foster a culture of technical excellence and pragmatic innovation.
WHAT YOU’LL BRING
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field.
- Significant number of years of related work experience in mechanical design, tooling, or operations engineering, typically 7-10 years.
- Proven track record of mentoring engineering teams under aggressive timelines and implementing methods that ensure on-time project delivery and team alignment.
- Deep expertise in evolving existing designs and equipment to improve product quality.
- Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling and complex assembly management with a focus on precision, tolerance stack-up analysis, and manufacturability.
- Extensive experience in pneumatic system design, automation integration, and identifying high-risk mechanisms.
- Applied experience with advanced manufacturing techniques including precision welding, automated assembly, and high-volume production ramp-up.
- Intellectual curiosity and a pragmatic problem-solving mindset when addressing high-stakes mechanical challenges.
- Ability to thrive on complexity and lead through technical ambiguity with a focus on mission-critical grid stability.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Mechanic Jobs at Form Energy Jobs
Document hands-on equipment experience specifically
Form Energy builds long-duration battery systems, so your credentials should reflect experience with industrial assembly, electromechanical systems, or heavy manufacturing equipment. Vague resumes citing general mechanical work get screened out before sponsorship conversations begin.
Target Form Energy's manufacturing expansion directly
Form Energy is scaling production at its Weirton, West Virginia facility. Mechanic roles tied to a production ramp are far more likely to carry sponsorship approval than roles backfilling attrition, so frame your application around supporting new line buildout.
Understand which visa fits your situation before applying
Form Energy sponsors H-1B, TN, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, EB-2, and EB-3 pathways. For Mechanic roles, EB-3 is the most common immigrant path for skilled tradespeople. Confirm your status and timeline before reaching out to a recruiter so you can answer sponsorship questions confidently.
Use Migrate Mate to filter verified sponsoring employers
Searching broadly for sponsored mechanic roles wastes time on employers without a real track record. Use Migrate Mate to find Form Energy's open Mechanic positions filtered by visa type so you're applying where sponsorship has actually been approved before.
Align your offer timeline with H-1B cap deadlines
Cap-subject H-1B registration opens each March for an October 1 start. If your offer comes outside that window, ask Form Energy's HR team whether they can pursue cap-exempt status or bridge your employment through a different authorized category while you wait.

Find Mechanic at Form Energy JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Form Energy sponsor H-1B visas for Mechanics?
Yes, Form Energy sponsors H-1B visas and has done so across technical roles including Mechanics. For Mechanic positions specifically, sponsorship is most straightforward when the role requires specialized knowledge of industrial or electromechanical systems. H-1B eligibility requires the position to qualify as a specialty occupation, so expect the offer letter and job description to reflect that standard clearly.
How do I apply for Mechanic jobs at Form Energy?
You can browse open Mechanic roles at Form Energy through Migrate Mate, which lists positions filtered by visa sponsorship type so you can confirm which categories apply before submitting. Once you identify a role, apply through Form Energy's careers portal and flag your visa status early in the recruiter screen. Being upfront about sponsorship needs avoids misalignment later in the process.
Which visa types are commonly used for Mechanic roles at Form Energy?
Form Energy sponsors H-1B, EB-2, EB-3, TN, F-1 OPT, and F-1 CPT for its workforce. For Mechanic roles, EB-3 is the most relevant immigrant pathway since it covers skilled workers with at least two years of training or experience. TN is available for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying engineering or technical categories. F-1 OPT and CPT apply to students completing relevant programs.
What qualifications does Form Energy expect for sponsored Mechanic roles?
Form Energy's Mechanic roles typically require demonstrated experience with industrial machinery, preventive maintenance systems, and mechanical troubleshooting in a manufacturing environment. Given the company's focus on battery storage systems, familiarity with electromechanical equipment or cleanroom-adjacent assembly processes is a practical differentiator. Certifications in hydraulics, pneumatics, or PLC systems strengthen your profile for sponsored positions.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take for a Mechanic offer at Form Energy?
Timeline depends heavily on visa category. F-1 OPT authorization can be in place within weeks if your EAD is already issued. H-1B requires USCIS lottery selection in March and a October 1 start, though premium processing (currently 15 business days after USCIS acceptance) can speed adjudication. EB-3 PERM labor certification through DOL adds 12 to 18 months before the I-140 immigrant petition stage begins.
