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

  • Own solar PV system design at the concept and preliminary level for: utility-scale solar-plus-storage projects, producing single line diagrams, array layouts, and string and inverter sizing using industry-standard solar design software

  • Define the technical scope and Basis of Design for the solar portion of each: project, hand a gap-closed package to detailed design teams and internal or external EPC partners, and stay involved through the full PV lifecycle

  • Serve as the technical point of contact for solar PV scope across internal: teams (Project Engineering, Commercial, Development) and external parties (EPCs, racking and module vendors, engineering consultants)

  • Evaluate site conditions (topography, soils, shading, resource data) during: early-stage feasibility to confirm buildable area and system performance assumptions

  • Identify and document interconnection, permitting, and code compliance: requirements for solar scope, coordinating with the broader project permitting effort

  • Review and vet solar equipment vendors and proposals, including racking and: module suppliers, and make PV equipment recommendations in coordination with Procurement

What they're looking for

  • Support construction and commissioning on site as needed to resolve field: issues, verify installation against design intent, and build Redwood's internal solar design standards, tools, and processes
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, preferably Civil or Electrical, or: equivalent experience demonstrating exceptional ability in these fields
  • Deep experience with concept development, design, and construction of: utility-scale solar PV systems; Staff level reflects a broader track record of leading PV scope across multiple projects
  • Proficiency with industry-standard solar design software (PVcase) for single: line diagrams, layouts, and performance modeling
