The company recycles end-of-life batteries to recover lithium, nickel, cobalt, and copper, creating one of the largest domestic sources of these critical minerals in the United States. Its operations support the broader transition away from reliance on foreign supply chains for materials essential to electric vehicles and energy storage systems. Through its Redwood Energy division, the company designs, integrates, and deploys large-scale energy storage systems for data centers and the national grid, utilizing both new and repurposed batteries to deliver cost-effective solutions. Redwood Materials partners with major automotive, technology, and energy companies including Volkswagen Group of America, Panasonic, GM Ultium Cells, Toyota, BMW, Amazon, Volvo, and Southern Company, reflecting its central role in the emerging domestic battery supply chain. Founded by former Tesla Chief Technology Officer JB Straubel, Redwood Materials was established with the mission of building a circular economy for batteries, reducing waste, lowering the carbon footprint of energy storage, and strengthening American energy independence. The company holds ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 certifications, underscoring its commitment to occupational health, safety, and environmental management standards.

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.

Hardware Technical Program Manager, Energy Storage:  

We are seeking a Hardware Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead the development, testing, and manufacturing of complex, box-level electronics assemblies. You will own program execution from concept through production, coordinating across hardware engineering, validation, supply chain, and operations. This role is about making sure our hardware — from circuit boards and flex assemblies to enclosures, connectors, and integrated box builds — is designed for reliability, tested thoroughly, and built to scale. 

Responsibilities Will Include:

  • Drive end-to-end hardware program execution (requirements → design → validation → NPI → ramp) 
  • Lead cross-functional teams spanning mechanical, electrical, firmware, industrial design, test, and manufacturing engineering
  • Plan and manage prototype and production builds, including materials, logistics, and factory readiness 
  • Oversee board and flex releases, system integration, and validation testing (DVT/PVT/MP builds) 
  • Partner with suppliers and contract manufacturers to drive DFM/DFT reviews, yield improvement, and issue resolution 
  • Maintain clear build plans, risk registers, and program dashboards; proactively manage schedule and resource risks 
  • Serve as the primary interface between Redwood engineering teams and external manufacturing partners 
  • Provide transparent updates to stakeholders and leadership, highlighting status, risks, and key decisions 

Desired Qualifications: 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or related Engineering discipline (advanced degree a plus) 
  • 5+ years of experience in hardware program management, hardware engineering, or manufacturing operations 
  • Proven success driving NPI builds and scaling hardware programs to volume production 
  • Strong understanding of box-level assemblies (PCBs, flex circuits, harnessing, enclosures, thermal systems) 
  • Exceptional organizational, communication, and leadership skills; proven ability to thrive in high-ambiguity environments 
  • Willingness to travel to Redwood’s sites, suppliers, and contract manufacturers as needed 

The position is full-time and located in San Francisco, CA. Compensation will be commensurate with experience.
