About the company:

Redwood Materials is an American clean energy company headquartered in Sparks, Nevada, focused on securing domestic supplies of critical battery materials and providing large-scale energy storage solutions. 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.

Solutions Engineer, Energy Storage

As a Solutions Engineer you will serve as a technical voice with Redwood’s energy storage customersThis role bridges commercial and engineering: the Solutions Engineer represents Redwood’s technical capabilities directly in customer conversations. The ideal candidate has a background in design or applications engineering and is eager to bring that expertise closer to the customer, helping Redwood’s commercial team operate with greater technical independence as the business scales. 

Responsibilities will include:

  • Serve as a technical resource in customer conversations including on-site visits and technical feasibility discussions  
  • Work directly with customers on initial system design concepts, site integration requirements, and project scoping, translating their needs into actionable technical specifications and clear project expectations. 
  • Support commercial proposal development including Single-Line Diagrams (SLDs), system layout concepts, technical specifications, and inputs to pricing and capacity models. 
  • Build and maintain deep expertise in Redwood’s energy storage products — battery chemistry, pack configurations, system architecture, degradation characteristics, and performance parameters — and serve as the go-to technical resource for the commercial team. 
  • Partner with engineering teams to surface customer feedback, flag capability gaps, and inform the development roadmap based on field learnings and evolving customer needs. 
  • Enable the commercial team to operate independently on technical matters, reducing reliance on core engineering for routine customer questions and design decisions as Redwood scales. 

Desired Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field. 
  • Hands-on, “get it done” mindset — willing to travel to a customer site, roll up your sleeves, and figure out what’s needed 
  • Ability to operate with a high degree of autonomy and make well-reasoned technology and product decisions without frequent guidance from engineering leadership. 
  • Ability to travel up to 30% of time  
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to work well cross-functionally but also to represent Redwood’s technical capabilities credibly to external customers and translate complex concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
