Redwood Materials is building the U.S. stockpile of critical materials and deploying large-scale energy storage systems that power data centers and the nation’s grid.
About the role
The Senior Battery Systems Engineer leads the cross-functional integration of new OEM battery packs into the stationary energy storage system architecture within the Energy Storage engineering function. The role independently owns the system architecture, requirements, and interface definitions for each integrated pack, aligning mechanical, electrical, controls, power electronics, and software engineering on a common technical baseline. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field and 5+ years of systems or design engineering experience, or a Master's degree and 3+ years
- Working knowledge of lithium-ion battery pack architecture, battery management systems, and pack communication protocols (CAN, Modbus, Ethernet)
- Experience with energy storage systems, hybrid or electric powertrain development, or PV system development
- Ability to write clear, testable engineering requirements and manage them in a requirements management tool
- Effective communication skills to lead technical alignment across engineering disciplines and with external OEMs
- Ability to travel to sites and vendors up to 10% of time
More about this role
About Redwood Materials
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. Today Redwood is the largest lithium-ion battery recycler in North America — recovering, refining, and redeploying critical minerals from end-of-life batteries back into the supply chain. On the energy side, Redwood has deployed the largest second-life battery project in the world, delivering power to AI data centers in months rather than years using proprietary energy architecture engineered entirely in-house. The company is profitable, the market it operates in is projected to grow 20 to 50 times over the next decade, and Redwood is the only company with the supply chain, the technology, and the operational scale to lead it.
