About Redwood Materials

Redwood is localizing a global battery supply chain that seamlessly integrates recovery, reuse, and recycling — keeping critical minerals in circulation and driving the energy transition. Founded in 2017, we’re delivering low-cost and large-scale energy storage and producing battery materials in the U.S. for the first time, all from batteries we already have.

Systems Design Engineer, Factory Systems Modeling

We are seeking a Systems Design Engineer to develop models for our battery refining and materials production processes. You'll apply first-principles modeling in custom software to create plant-scale models that maximize efficiency, detect equipment failures, and power soft sensors. The goal: design the world's most optimal factories through cross-functional collaboration with stakeholders and design teams.

Responsibilities will include:

  • Implement complex system models integrating mechanical, thermal, chemical, and control theories in custom software
  • Design and implement control algorithms that optimize plant operations
  • Own and maintain controls-plant model software in the loop tests
  • Navigate cross-functional engineering teams to gather requirements and deliver solutions
  • Integrate live factory data into models to detect equipment anomalies
  • Optimize plant efficiency through modeling support
  • Apply knowledge of motors, pumps, sensors, actuators, and thermodynamic systems to accurately model plant behavior
  • Design high-level control strategies informed by simulation and data analytics

Qualifications:

  • M.S. in Mechanical/Chemical/Electrical Engineering, Physics, or equivalent experience
  • 2+ years in Systems Design Engineering and first-principles modeling, preferably with multi-physics simulations
  • Proficiency in Python and/or simulation software with functional software engineering skills
  • Strong grasp of mechanical, electrical, and thermodynamic fundamentals
  • Experience with complex system design
  • Self-motivated, hands-on attitude with willingness to contribute at all levels
  • Passion for sustainability and making the world better

 

The position is full-time. Compensation will be commensurate with experience.
