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

  • Advanced Field Engineering & Technical Authority

  • Serve as a senior technical authority and highest-tier field escalation: resource for complex BESS commissioning, operational, performance, and reliability issues.

  • Independently lead advanced system-level troubleshooting across high-voltage: electrical systems, PCS/inverters, battery modules, BMS, controls, communications networks, SCADA interfaces, and balance-of-system equipment.

  • Diagnose complex and intermittent failures involving interactions between: electrical, mechanical, controls, firmware/software, communications, and thermal systems.

  • Exercise independent engineering judgment to develop technically sound: solutions when established troubleshooting procedures, documentation, or precedents are insufficient. Lead system commissioning, energization support, functional validation, performance testing, and operational-readiness activities for new and existing BESS installations.

  • Develop and execute technical recovery strategies for critical equipment: failures and system outages while balancing personnel safety, equipment risk, system availability, customer impact, and schedule.

What they're looking for

  • Provide advanced remote and on-site technical support during critical system events and escalations.
  • Validate system configuration, operational parameters, firmware/software: interfaces, controls integration, and equipment performance against engineering requirements and intended system operation.
  • Identify technical risks during commissioning and operation and provide: recommendations regarding system readiness, continued operation, corrective action, or escalation.
  • Technical Leadership & Project Reliability & Performance
