The opportunity

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.

What you'll do

  • Lead the electrical front-end scope for assigned early-phase pursuits,: coordinating across Business Development, the Product team, and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) engineering and project controls, and serving as Business Development's electrical technical support for scope, cost, schedule, and contract exhibits

  • Develop concept and preliminary electrical designs: site layouts and single line diagrams — integrating system architecture, inverter and medium-voltage transformer configuration, and DC block arrangement with site constraints

  • Establish the electrical Basis of Design and design criteria, including AC/DC: architecture, medium-voltage collection, grounding and bonding, protection and coordination, metering, and auxiliary and balance-of-plant power

  • Perform screening-level power system studies such as load flow, short: circuit, and protective device coordination to size major equipment, set voltage classes and ratings, and define the study scope for detailed design

  • Support early utility and grid operator interconnection strategy: identifying viable pathways and timelines from site location, front- or behind-the-meter configuration, and point of interconnection — and deliver electrical feasibility studies that confirm interconnection viability and equipment siting as a go/no-go input

  • Establish the electrical code and standards basis, document the compliance: framework for detailed design, and develop alternative means and methods or performance-based design options in coordination with fire and life-safety requirements

What they're looking for

  • Drive the electrical information-request checklist to closure and deliver the: electrical scope and Basis of Design package as the formal handoff to detailed design, including the interconnection path, long-lead item register, and open-items register
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited program,: or equivalent demonstrated ability; a Master's degree is a plus
  • A minimum of 8 years in solar, energy storage, or microgrid work, including: front-end, conceptual, owner's engineering, or FEED electrical design on utility-scale or industrial battery energy storage projects
  • Deep understanding of grid-scale energy storage and electrical: balance-of-plant equipment — inverters, medium-voltage transformers, switchgear, DC combiners, collection systems, grounding, and protection — and of AC/DC power conversion and medium- and high-voltage systems
