About Redwood Materials
Redwood Materials was founded in 2017 by JB Straubel, co-founder and former CTO of Tesla, on a simple but radical idea: the critical minerals powering the energy transition already exist. They just need to come back. Today Redwood is the largest lithium-ion battery recycler in North America — recovering, refining, and redeploying critical minerals from end-of-life batteries back into the supply chain. On the energy side, Redwood has deployed the largest second-life battery project in the world, delivering power to AI data centers in months rather than years using proprietary energy architecture engineered entirely in-house. The company is profitable, the market it operates in is projected to grow 20 to 50 times over the next decade, and Redwood is the only company with the supply chain, the technology, and the operational scale to lead it.
Position Summary:
You will be an early member of a new engineering team, taking a hands-on role in the design, development, and integration of a new product at Redwood. This position will lead our system engineering effort, helping our mechanical, electrical, and software engineers come together and deliver a cohesive system. You will define clear requirements, evaluate and down-select system architectures, and drive the decision throughout the engineering organization. You are a believer and practitioner of model-driven design and have right-sized system engineering frameworks for a scrappy, fast-moving engineering team.
The ideal candidate is highly self-driven, adaptable to a startup environment, and eager to take on novel technical challenges. If you’re excited about working in a dynamic, fast-paced setting within a new department at Redwood, we want to hear from you!
