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 Process & Scale-Up Engineering: Provide senior-level technical expertise (including mass and energy balances, process flowsheets, and advanced process simulations) to identify, design, scale, and implement process technologies for CAM manufacturing.

  • Design & Execution of Experiments: Direct and conduct advanced Design of Experiments (DOE) to guide scale-up, define precise process parameter tolerances, enhance material performance, and lower manufacturing costs.

  • Vendor & Equipment Engineering: Lead interactions with equipment suppliers across conceptual design, system specs, detailed engineering, procurement, installation, and site acceptance testing.

  • Technology Roadmap & IP Creation: Drive the development of the technology roadmap to align with long-term business strategy and customer requirements. Generate intellectual property (IP) and collaborate with legal teams to draft and file patent applications.

  • Stakeholder & Business Leadership: Serve as a technical authority and advisor for commercial teams, business development, senior management, and key external partners.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Lead multi-disciplinary engineering and operations teams to solve complex, systemic process challenges and successfully translate lab/pilot findings to commercial scale.

What they're looking for

  • Education: Advanced degree (MS or PHD) in Chemical Engineering, Materials: Science, or a related engineering discipline.
  • Experience: 5+ years of industrial experience in process development,: scale-up, process engineering, and technical management within chemical processing or inorganic materials.
  • Technical Mastery: Deep technical expertise in inorganic materials production, powder synthesis, and chemical engineering fundamentals.
  • Process Modeling: Proven ability to perform complex process design calculations, mass/energy balances, process flow diagram (PFD/P&ID) development, and process simulation modeling.
