Staff Chemical EngineerActive$42K–$104K

Redwood Materials was founded in 2017 by JB Straubel, co-founder and former CTO of Tesla, on a simple but radical idea: the critical minerals powering the energy transition already exist. They just need to come back.

What you'll do

• Design first-of-a-kind recycling plants for battery waste materials, leading: projects from concept through commissioning.

• Own and drive brownfield plant retrofits and process improvement projects: from initial scoping through full implementation.

• Perform cost analyses, design trade studies, and process modeling to guide: equipment sizing, predict plant performance, and maximize profitability.

• Create Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams: (P&IDs), and detailed equipment specification sheets.

• Plan and execute critical testwork, lab-scale trials, and plant trials to validate and define process designs.

• Partner with mechanical, controls, operations, and maintenance teams to: deliver complete plant designs and execute safe, successful commissioning.

What they're looking for
